No idea who he was at the time, only later did I read that he's a 38 year old sports reporter on Fox. Why was his POV relative a discussion about Jemele Hill's comments on Trump's controversial racist comments?

He was acting more like an 18 yo frat brat with that sexist comment about "First Amendment and boobs" aimed at a woman news anchor. Brooke Baldwin was absolutely stunned and she was rightly offended, but the creep doubled down and then keeps on doing so after being told several times he’s being inappropriate. He actually asked her, “You don’t love boobs too?”, like he was looking for a pick up in a sleazy dive bar instead of a guest on CNN.

It was a real dick thing to do, and a CNN spokeswoman said Travis' 15 minutes of fame is over and he will not be invited back on the network's air.

Trying to get a fellow man to agree to sexism and support his inappropriate comments. Keith insisted on being respectful and saying that has nothing to do with the discussion. A lot of conservatives falsely assume others will agree with them.

It seems that professional sports and sports journalism already has a problem with blatant sexism in how they treat women athletes. I don't know that guy, but if he makes sexist comments about boobs on his sports program, he's part of the problem.

While the rightwing types will get all frazzled because a black woman mentions Trump's undeniably racist remarks, they probably see nothing wrong with a man telling a woman news anchor that he's really, really into boobs, on her own live TV show, in the middle of the day.

of a hateful rightist emboldened by the racism, bigotry, and sexism all too common in the age of Trump.
