President of CNN Makes Inappropriate Sexual Joke About Employee
During an award ceremony for the Mirror awards, CNN Jeff Zucker was being given an award for his excellence in journalism.
In his remarks during his acceptance speech, he decided to make a crude joke toward CNN morning anchor Alisyn Camerota.
According to The Hill,
Camerota told the Daily Beast she didn’t take issue with Zucker’s joke, saying she hears it often while out in public.
“It’s the oldest joke in the book made to morning show anchors, both men and women,” Camerota told the New York-based publication in a statement. “I hear it a couple of times a week from people in the grocery store. That isn’t harassment, in my opinion, and I didn’t find it tone deaf, either.”

I’m glad she wasn’t offended, I don’t think she should have been, honestly.
Here’s the problem that I take with the whole thing. It’s the hypocrisy. It’s always the hypocrisy.
Liberals want to shout about women’s rights, and #MeToo, and everything else, but then they turn around and do that very thing that they get worked up over and laugh about it.
I see it all the time. Women don’t want to be objectified and seen as a sexual object, but then they go out and dress provocatively to illicit sexual desires from men. They want to criticize conservatives who say something wrong and call for their job, but then laugh about it when it’s someone from their side.
Look at Joe Biden’s record of inappropriately touching women. He’s even admitted to it, but all is forgiven now, that’s just the way he is.
But God forbid that someone like…I don’t know…Brett Kavanaugh is accused of something with ZERO evidence, and they’re calling for his lynching!
