In a sharp segment on MSNBC Monday, reporter Katy Tur refused to let Trump supporter John Sununu blame her for focusing on distractions, reminding the former N.H. governor that hes the one who made inappropriate comments about Bill and Hillary Clintons sex life.
At a N.H. rally Friday, Sununu joked about the Bill Clintons sexual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, asking the audience if they think Bill was referring to Hillary when he said, I did not have sex with that woman?
Towards the end of her interview with the former N.H governor, Tur noted the many low moments of the 2016 presidential campaign before asking Sununu about his comments. As the conversation became more combative, Tur rebuffed his attempts to blame her for focusing on distractions:
Tur: Do you regret getting into that on the stump for Trump?
Sununu: I do regret that I did not focus on this culture of corruption issue.
Tur: This whole campaigns been marked by distractions, it seems
Sununu: It shouldnt be, why do you ask questions on distractions?
Tur: You said it, sir.
Sununu: Why dont you ask me why I believe theres a culture on corruption?
Tur: Why dont you focus on a culture of corruption instead of coming out suggesting something untoward about the marriage of the opponents?

(115 posts)I find her very professional. But does anyone else see it oozing out of her pores that she absolutely despises Trump? She never says anything and is, I think, pretty much balanced in her reporting. But her expressions and body language scream to me that Orange Hitler makes her skin craw.

(58,706 posts)Hell, I already hate him, and I didn't have to take as much as she did.
She's a trooper for sticking it out. She's a tough one, to be sure. She has a future in journalism.

(9,148 posts)Assigned to Trump's campaign made her life a living hell.
Glad to see her getting camera time. She is a fine reporter.
Maybe they can retire Andrea Mitchell now that Tur has stepped in.

(364 posts)I keep looking for some evidence of her anger towards Trump, but her reporting never belies the fact that Trump is bullying her. A thorough professional. I've heard GOPers say that she only got the job because of Keith Olbermann, but what I see is a very qualified, brave young lady.
I have no doubt she is going to write a book about her experiences with Trump and Co, and make a killing!
