The DU Lester Holt thread [View all]

Agree/disagree. Add.

The topics were brutal for Trump - taxes, race - birtherism, cyber, called him on Iraq, women.
Lester let him go which a lot of people here joked about just letting Trump have a bigger shovel
The way Trump treated Lester will NOT go well in the African-American community. At all.

The right hates NBC anyway but the knives will be out for Lester in their world. Full blown victimization and attack on Holt.
