Billy Bush is a National Disgrace, and not only to his family

He is 1st cousin to the Bush family. He had that conversation with Donald and said NOTHING about it. Is sexism THAT built into our vernacular? That the man with a 1 out of 2 chance of being the leader of the free fucking world can be this way, can act this way, and this so called fucking JOURNALIST sat on it.

He should be fired. No way any enabler like that should grace OUR airwaves.

After that conversation he had with Trump, I think it's pretty clear what he was going for with that hug.

I don't mean this as an excuse but at the time Billy had just worked for Donald as host of the Miss Universe pageant.
