Billy Bush Gets Candid About tRump Scandal, Says He Suffered The Ultimate Degradation

Billy Bush says he was left feeling "ashamed and embarrassed" after tRump tapes leaked
<snip>

Speaking about being fired by NBC from his position as a co-host on the popular morning show Today, Billy told the outlet this week that he “went through stages of grieving” following the scandal after his job and marriage both dissolved. “I lost my career. For a man, that’s the ultimate degradation.”

Billy also told the site in the candid new interview that he’s now taken responsibility for his role in the scandal, calling his decision to not call out tRump for his remarks at the time “bystander abuse.”

“By not doing anything you are endorsing the moment. I have to live with that,” Bush — who claimed during the interview that he was still “hopeful” he would reconcile with his wife — told People. - Inquisitr

he wasn't a bystander. He was egging trump on and let that woman walk into the whole mess.

I agree that at some point, his career should be rehabbed - after all Trump is president. And his network - at the time - wanted him to egg trump on.

But he wasn't a bystander. He was complicit

Billy Bush wasn't fired for listening to Dump spew. He was fired for pressing Arianne Zucker to give Donald a kiss shortly after the spew.
And we should try to remember Arianne Zucker's name as she is the victim of these two.

That must be real tough. No use of your arms or legs, no support system, can't even find someone to type up a resume for you. Family's bereft of funds, no friends to speak of. Sounds really bad.

What? Oh. Literally not one word of that is true? I see.

Get a fucking job. Or is that something the men of the Family Bush don't really do?

So he knows the word. And he knows it is commonly used to describe women victims of sexual abuse.
Thus he claiming equal victim-hood status.
I congratulate his wife for being smarter than he is.
