And now NBC is stuck with Megyn Kelly as its lead pig in the morning! They must be puking on their shoes.

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Following Following @realDonaldTrump More Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News.

And after we have had to put up with holier than thou libtards screeching at us for decades about how sexist we are—their chickens are flocking to their roosts in droves.

Actually, I think they should have let him go five years ago. He had zero journalistic talents and it was draining their capital to keep paying him this outrageous amount of money.

Oh, and I do agree....Megyn’s time there is probably less than twelve more months. Maybe they will get some fresh blood for the show.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary Clinton is behind this.
She wanted him fired during the campaign when he asked her the wrong question(s).

Thank GOD for President Trump, who started the ball rolling with just being a regular guy tellin' the truth.

Every fake news outlet and talking head is SO frikkin' nervous right now.

The swamp is not only IN DC, it is in every nook and cranny of America and Americans have found their voice.


Thank you Lord for allowing me to be born here and keeping me alive to see these days.

It’s conceivable that Megyn might be a “temporary” replacement for Lauer. Management might want to move Today a little in the direction of news as opposed to cooking and dishwashing.

Heh, heh, heh....Trump needs to compile a montage of Matt Laurer calling him a sexual predator for an ad campaign. And not only him, but every sexual predator who’s been unmasked. And then flash headlines of their “indescrecions” across the screen.

"...Katie Couric..."


I can’t seem to recall what Katie Couric did to either Governor Palin or Matt Lauer. My memory is like a sieve anymore!
