President Trump’s Administrator of the Small Business Administration Linda McMahon will replace NBC News’ Tom Brokaw as the commencement speaker at a Catholic university next month, following reports that Brokaw allegedly sexually harassed a former NBC correspondent.
Brokaw reportedly withdrew from speaking at Sacred Heart University’s graduation ceremony, set for May 13, because he didn’t want to “distract from the intended and most important focus of the day — our graduating students and their families,” the university’s president, John Petillo, wrote in an email to the student body, according to the Hartford Courant.
Former NBC correspondent Linda Vester recently detailed to the Washington Post and Variety her allegations that Brokaw sexually harassed her and attempted to forcibly kiss her at least two times in the 1990s. Brokaw has denied the allegations.
Had they the brains dog gave a goat they’d have replaced him with Patrick Conroy (ex-House Chaplain).
Seriously the woman who owns the WWE giving the commencement at a Catholic University?
I’m sure she will inspire the grads with her exemplary values.
The less great generation. Never much liked Brokaw and don’t really have a hard time believing this story.
With all that has been alleged against Brokaw, I think the graduates would be better served by hearing him than Linda McMahon.
The guy that invented WWII is being replaced by the woman who invented WWE?
Um, progress?
