NBC News’s Tom Brokaw is having a tough time convincing people to forgive his comments about Hispanic people on Meet the Press yesterday, as evidenced by the number of people dragging him on Twitter.
“my tweet portal is whack,” tweeted the 78-year-old NBC special correspondent in all-lowercase letters, after receiving an overwhelming wave of mockery to his apology Sunday night. “i hv been trying to say i am sorry i offended and i so appreciate his colleague.”

His colleague to whom he was referring is PBS’s Yamiche Alcindor, a panelist on the show who had pushed back on his comments asking Hispanics to assimilate as being “troubling.”
Twitter paid no sympathy to the old man, mocking him for both his comments and his lack of Twitter game.
Has Tom Brokaw assimilated to being on Twitter, yet?

Either Brokaw has been hacked or his phone is currently in the hands of some overserved teens. There can’t be any other explanation for this tweet below… https://t.co/AH70W1QgR9
