Boston Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis allegedly walked out of the set of Meet the Press with David Gregory.

A survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing stormed off the set of NBC’s Meet the Press in tears on Friday after being asked to comment on Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev — after she was allegedly promised their names would not be mentioned.

Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dancer who lost part of one leg during the attack, tweeted after the taping:

I feel so disrespected @meetthepress I asked politely yesterday and you said yes. Now you choose to use the name instead.

David Gregory has neither decency or humanity. With him, anything goes that advances the progressive agenda—regardless of whether his actions hurt innocent people.

Doesn't tweeting pretty much require you have one of those smartphone things?

I am such a knuckledragger with all this i-product stuff, do not own one thing made by apple.

Simply, these scum are near the bottom of viewership, and hence, in the last desperate throes of gaining viewers.

He works for NBC and is a wussified liberal, he had his private parts removed years ago.

I feel her pain, but it would have been much better if she replied “I hope they hang that little Muzzie focker from the bell tower of the Old North Church.”

On the one hand, it was wrong and stupid of Press The Meat to have AGREED not to mention the bombers’ names as a condition of anyone’s appearing on the show.

But on the other hand, a deal is a deal. If the show made such an agreement, Gregory can’t be surprised if the guests become enraged at the bait and switch.
