Vice broke the story yesterday that The New Yorker magazine suspended Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat with members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio.
Toobin, who also serves as a Legal Analyst on CNN, claims he did not realize his video was on.
"Two people who were on the call told VICE separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker's biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. There were also a handful of other producers on the call from the New Yorker and WNYC.
Both people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely, noted that it was unclear how much each person saw, but both said that they saw Toobin jerking off."
As Ellen Carmichael points out, don’t forget how Toobin behavior on CNN during the Kavanaugh hearings as he made the ridiculous case that “there need not be any actual evidence against him if eye witnesses confirmed Ford’s account.
Talk Radio host Larry O’Connor nails it.
