CNN's S.E. Cupp UNLEASHES on NBC For FORCING WOMEN To Cover up for Tom Brokaws Sexual Assaults

Just two days after entertainment magazine Variety published former NBC correspondent Linda Vester’s sexual harassment allegations against NBC legend Tom Brokaw, more than 60 women from the network signed their names to a letter defending his character.



But on Tuesday, it was revealed that NBC had put tremendous pressure on the women to sign the letter. On Unfiltered that evening, host S.E. Cupp ripped into them for rushing to his defense as two additional women have spoken out.



Cupp began by accurately pointing out that the story was going largely underreported by the national media despite the advances of the #MeToo movement. She noted that, in Brokaw’s defense statement, he admitted to possibly trying to kiss his accuser but not in the way she had claimed. “Against the backdrop of our year-long eye-opening national education on sexual harassment, this admission should have been reason enough to approach this story with seriousness and concern,” she argued.



“Instead, his colleagues, female colleagues mind you, have inexplicably rushed to his defense. Big mistake,” Cupp declared. She proceeded to call out Brokaw’s female defenders for claiming to know how he acted when many of them didn’t even work for NBC at the time:



Despite their presumed respect for Brokaw, few of his current colleagues were at the network 25 years ago when the behavior was alleged to have occurred. Even fewer were at the NBC News bureau in Denver or London where at least two incidents reportedly occurred, and presumably, none was in Vester's New York City hotel room where she says another incident occurred.



“And yet that hasn't stopped 115 of them, including big names like Rachel Maddow, Mika Brzezinski, Andrea Mitchell, and Maria Shriver from signing a letter attesting to he ‘tremendous decency’ and ‘integrity,’” she added
