标 题: 拉里挺幽默的:I believe more in karma

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton commented Thursday night on
longtime NBC host Matt Lauer's firing, remarking that she believes in the
concept of karma a little more "every day," Philly Voice reports.
Clinton was speaking in Philadelphia as part of her national book tour
promoting her memoir, "What Happened," which looks at her unsuccessful 2016
presidential campaign.
“Every day I believe more in karma,” Clinton said when asked about Lauer's
firing, before lumping him in with several other “men who shaped the
narrative” who have been fired over similar allegations of sexual
misconduct.
“The only way we will get sexism out of politics is to get more women in
politics,” she added.
Lauer was fired Wednesday morning after NBC News said it was alerted of a
credible accusation of sexual misconduct against Lauer. Since the veteran
host's firing, several more women came forward to allege Lauer sexually
assaulted them in incidents dating back to 2001.
Clinton criticized Lauer in "What Happened" for his handling of an NBC News
"Commander-in-Chief Forum" just two months before Election Day. During the
forum, Lauer frequently interrupted Clinton and pressed her on her email
controversy. Critics said Lauer went much easier on now-President Trump
during a separate interview.
"I was ticked off,” the former secretary of State wrote. “NBC knew exactly
what it was doing here. The network was treating this like an episode of '
The Apprentice,' in which Trump stars and ratings soar."
"Lauer had turned what should have been a serious discussion into a
pointless ambush. What a waste of time," she added.
NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack addressed Lauer's firing in a memo to staff
Wednesday morning.
"Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone
feels safe and protected, and to ensure that any actions that run counter to
our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender,"
Lack said in the statement.
"We are deeply saddened by this turn of events. But we will face it together
as a news organization — and do it in as transparent a manner as we can." |
