On Thursday, as noted by Media Matters, MSNBC's David Shuster made a crude sexually-suggestive remark regarding Chelsea Clinton's work on behalf of her mother's presidential campaign.
He used the expression "pimped out" when referring to her work reaching out to Democratic Party superdelegates on Hillary's behalf.
Today, NBC News suspended Shuster.
NBC NEWS STATEMENT REGARDING CHELSEA CLINTON COMMENT:
On Thursday's "Tucker" on MSNBC, David Shuster, who was serving as guest-host of the program, made a comment about Chelsea Clinton and the Clinton campaign that was irresponsible and inappropriate. Shuster, who apologized this morning on MSNBC and will again this evening, has been suspended from appearing on all NBC News broadcasts, other than to make his apology. He has also extended an apology to the Clinton family. NBC News takes these matters seriously, and offers our sincere regrets to the Clintons for the remarks.
