When the Harvey Weinstein story first hit, his defense was announcing that he was going to fight the NRA. It was clumsy virtue signaling. But it would have been less clumsy if his people could have accused Rose McGowan of being a Republican.
Despite Senator Franken's numerous accusers, most of them on the left, Frankentruthers continue to believe that Leeann Tweeden, his first accuser, was a Republican plant.
That's what Tom Brokaw is sorta going for here.
He emphasizes his involvement in social issues, the right lefty causes, while emphasizing that his named accuser went to work at FOX News.
She came to NY and had mixed success on the overnight news. As I remember her try out [sic] on TODAY did not go well. Her contract was not renewed.
Here is a part of her story she somehow left out. I think I saw her in the hallways and asked how it was going. She was interested in cable start up[sic] and I said I didn’t think that was going anywhere. What about Fox, which was just building up? She was interested and followed me to my office where, while she listened in, I called Roger Ailes. He said, “send her over.”
She got the job. I never heard from her or saw her again. I was aware that she became a big fan of Ailes, often praising his considerable broadcasting instincts in public. But when he got in trouble on sexual matters, not a peep from this woman who now describes her self [sic] as the keeper of the flame for Me:Too.
So Brokaw got her a job at FOX News and had easy access to Ailes, but tries to discredit her for working at FOX News.
I don't know where the truth lies, but this is slimy.
As a private citizen who married a wealthy man, she has been active in social causes but she came to Me:Too late, portraying herself as a den mother.
But Brokaw is fighting for all the African women. Every one.
We’ll go on as a family that pursues social justice in medical emergency rooms, corporate offices, social therapy, African women’s empowerment and journalism. And no one woman’s assault can take that away.
African women's empowerment vs. FOX News.
