quote:

former NBC News anchor Linda Vester describes an incident where Brokaw invited himself over to her hotel room in 1994 after she repeatedly tried to convince him otherwise. After showing up uninvited, Brokaw allegedly called Vester over to the sofa in her room and touched her without her consent.

quote:

Brokaw leaned over, “pressed his index finger to my lips and said, ‘This is our compact,’” she wrote in her diary at the time. “My insides shook. I went completely cold.”

Then, “very quickly,” Vester said later in an interview, Brokaw put his hand behind her neck and gripped her head. “Now let me show you how to give a real kiss,” he said, in Vester’s recollection, and jerked her head toward him. She remembers tensing her neck muscles and using all her strength to wriggle free and stand up. She wrote, “I said ‘Tom .?.?. I don’t want to do that with you.”

Brokaw sat silent for a few minutes, then finally said, “I think I should go.” Vester nodded vigorously.

I have a really hard time believing this one.

For all the creepy/a-hole vibes Matt Lauer gives off, Tom Brokaw is the complete opposite.

I am not an attorney and need to know what law that broke. What is the penalty?

ETA: I see the downvote queer is out early. How did my simple post offend this butt pirate?

I’m siding with Brokaw on this. You wait a quarter century to bring this up? GFY

And why are most of these cases involving liberals? Predilection to perversion? Seek help baws.

So he tried to kiss her, she said she’s not into it, and he realized his mistake and stopped and left? Wow, that’s definitely #metoo material equivalent to Bill Cosby drugging and raping women with his pudding stick

"He tried to kiss me 23 years ago."

That's worse than complaining about 93 year old H.W. Bush patting their arse.

So she told him no and he left? What's the issue? In her own words she didn't tell him no until here and he stopped and left.

Oh frick off, idiot. This is a BS allegation and we shouldn't cheer this shite on just because you disagree politically.
