Brokaw denies allegations of sexual harassment: 'I was ambushed'
The Hill ^ | 04/27/18 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 04/27/2018 12:17:05 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Veteran NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw mounted a scorching denial of allegations that he made unwanted advances on a young colleague in the 1990s, claiming in an email to several NBC News employees that he had been "ambushed" by a public smear campaign.

"I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship," Brokaw wrote in the email, a copy of which was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

"I am angry, hurt and unmoored from what I thought would be the final passage of my life and career, a mix of written and broadcast journalism, philanthropy and participation in environmental and social causes that have always given extra meaning to my life."

Etc...

I guess nobody is safe pal.

Should have shot straight on the news, and let the chips fall where they may.

Tom needs to confess and come clean. Appealing to his support for liberal causes won’t help when you have such a credible, well-spoken accuser.

Your leftist “friends” are turning on you, Tom.

I am feeling an almost overwhelming lack of sympathy for you.

Brokaw isn’t being accused of breaking any laws - it would say more about his character if he just comes clean and admits he liked to use his celebrity and power to score with younger babes.

I’ll hand it to the Leftists, Bill Clinton et al... they sure talk a good game.

Leftist women are always demanding men to man up.

How about they woman up!

But it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters. Hasn’t that been your bread and butter, Tom?

I’m wondering just how much of the anti-Trump bigotry has Brokaw spouted over the last few years, and how much of it related to allegations made by women against Trump.
