But yeah multi testing aside when my favorite people within the next to me Todd -- is here with his daily dispatch and I was actually reading for the first time this whole thing on Jimmy Fallon because I didn't see it when congresswoman Michelle Bachman was on the show.
But I -- people tweeting about this.
Then I saw Jimmy Fallon tweeting an apology.
To ms.
Bachmann.
Yes he did he -- that yesterday evening as matter of fact.
-- all of this happened a couple of days ago -- day before yesterday.
When I'm Michelle Bachman was was in fact -- Jimmy Collins -- BC late show.
And that -- did the interview actually went well she was really funny she got the jokes that they had some back and forth give and take.
But the issue wasn't what was said it was what was played.
The intro music that brought her onto the stage was done by -- balance house -- and the group called the roots.
And I can't even tell you Harris the name of the song is so incredibly inappropriate yeah uses a lot of foul language derogatory award for a woman.
And that leaked out yesterday afternoon I wrote it I wrote an opinion piece.
Good talent sort of joked about it earlier in the day.
But as the outrage started to grow.
Last night he decided to go ahead and and apologizes that he didn't need any harm by it.
Quite frankly I buy this is it's really just reprehensible.
Well yeah things that he -- tweeted out first and this is actually what caught my -- has again I was watching and so when I saw this first week from him I don't follow him but some idiot but I do follow retreated it.
With a question mark like.
Okay the band apparently on his program decided to play this this inappropriate song.
And have the audacity.
Don't let this woman who's running to be president of the United States.
Politics aside put -- respect that first no matter who it is -- I can imagine them doing this election and Hillary Clinton.
I can't imagine -- I guess lady the United States like this happens -- Michelle Obama.
Oh what a bit on like Donkey Kong -- -- yeah I could I could imagine daily service that debate and guide the bandleader I don't know his -- not want to show.
But he goes on what's it.
-- chemistry -- middle name.
Because I can't imagine Islamic -- in the name of our -- to love.
I was tweeting.
And what -- was.
Hate.
I -- the spelled HI GHT.
Witch's night for all right coming up.
But I hate coming up real Smart the -- -- -- Coming up for all of you guys who like being the -- songs when we bring on guests watch out for this one I can't -- the title.
Meaning it is so expensive I can't put it on Twitter -- it's incredibly it's OK to play the song when Michelle Bachmann walks across this today.
So he let everybody know a couple of hours ahead of time that this was coming.
You know Jimmy Fallon probably -- to have somebody reading his.
His employees.
Tweets I guess I don't yeah.
Decides he doesn't you don't -- whatsoever -- just don't buy you thinking yeah.
Of course I do this -- So you don't think he knows what's going on has until -- -- -- -- -- and NBC a major network.
I just don't buy it but here's that the bigger thing for -- is that we -- we we've reached this point society where you know guys need to start man enough.
I mean this is just really outrageous that that Amanda would elect would say something to reduce something like this to a woman is just an appropriate I don't -- if you're running for office or -- not.
You don't talk to ladies like that it's just not right.
And you know my piece yesterday -- -- called -- a little man because he.
Had a chance at all -- yesterday to apologize and only when the heat started getting a little bit hotter that he finally come out and and say you know that he was sorry.
His name is -- -- -- love Thompson.
And I hope that -- my year.
Our producer it was a stalking -- my little -- She was so right quest love that's hysterical his grandmother -- is called roots and he's the band leader who was tweeting about this.
They feel the pressure.
Right.
I thought to satellite channel little while ago from my pick was K cap because they said that Bachmann ought to go back on -- into any ambush.
Well look you know I had achieved the.
-- -- -- for the Bachmann campaign reached out to me last night give me -- call and they said look.
It is what it is but at the end of the day that felt like it was a gut punch because you have that they were the front of a joke and had no idea.
That that you what was going one because like you said this thing was premeditated at the -- you.
There and -- -- of course they did and they were telling everybody to Brian Conway on the live chat New York says terrorists they knew they figured that they take their best shot and then.
And then the lame apology and he says that's that particular network you -- -- thought that high beyond even Jimmy Fallon I don't know that anybody I don't know.
I won't really care but I but I would say this the of the networks have a history going after conservative women.
They they seem to get of you know women on the other side of the political equation that a pass.
And look I don't care if you're Republican or conservative.
-- on the sort of Republican or Democrat.
You don't treat ladies like that is just not right.
Mr.
ball released a couple -- up to New York City and delivering -- message to the bridge of Jimmy thousand dollars oh.
