Bush was laughing at Trump's admission of sexually assaulting Bush's then co-host, Nancy O'Dell. Then he has the gall to ask the soap opera actress (a fellow NBC employee) to give Trump a hug, after both he and Trump had been lewdly discussing her various body parts and "Tic Tac" Trump had admitted he might kiss her without her permission. That kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated in any workplace.
