Last August, Huffington Post’s Yashar Ali reported that Fox News Host Eric Bolling “sent an unsolicited photo of male genitalia via text message to at least two colleagues at Fox Business and one colleague at Fox News.” Ali’s report cited a dozen sources. Fox investigated the allegations and apparently deemed them credible, as it cancelled Bolling’s show after placing him on suspension.
That was less than a year ago, but Bolling now seems to be a Man Of Good Standing in cable news circles again. On Monday, MSNBC’s Morning Joe featured Bolling in a segment where the accused dick pic aficionado offered deep insights such as “I honestly believe he, Donald Trump, was treated poorly when he became President Trump by the FBI.”
Then, on Tuesday, Morning Joe had Bolling back again, where the man that Fox News apparently deemed to be too much of a creeper to remain at the conservative network delivered penetrating insights such as “when you dig deep into” Donald Trump, “we know he is not a racist.”
No other human known to MSNBC’s bookers was available to offer these keen political insights, apparently.
This recent Bolling boomlet on MSNBC’s longest-running celebration of coffee chatter was preceded by a July 4th appearance, in which Morning Joe promoted the launch of Eric Bolling’s bus tour, which…why exactly?
