Bush laughed along on the tape as Trump talked about coming onto and grabbing women, and he got suspended for it. There were reports that Bush bragged about the tapes months ago and NBC has been conducting an internal investigation.

Bush’s departure was announced in a memo to staff tonight:

I've enjoyed hearing "that" tape referred to as "the Billy Bush tape" or "the Billy Bush video". His own brand has been tarnished. I sure don't have any interest in watching anything he's part of. Now if they could just get rid of Jenna Bush Hager, then that whole daypart would be well-cleansed.

Another example of some rich kid getting a job just because of the family she's from and not her "talent". I know so many deserving young people with journalism degrees that would do a much better job than her fluff pieces.

The whole slam damn Bush family needs to go away never to be heard from again.
