Matt Lauer
has been labeled a 'morning show lightweight' by furious political
pundits after he failed to grill Donald Trump on his claim he never
supported the Iraq War during a Commander in Chief Forum on Wednesday
night - but relentlessly questioned Hillary over her private email
scandal.
The
NBC Today show host was accused of going too easy on Trump when the
Republican candidate repeated his claim to have always 'totally opposed
the Iraq war', when in fact he supported an invasion during a 2002
Howard Stern interview.
Instead
of stopping Trump in his tracks during the session at the Intrepid Sea,
Air & Space Museum in Manhattan, Lauer accepted his answer and
immediately moved onto the next question - even though Clinton had told
him during her interview beforehand that Trump had backed the war.
Lauer
questioned Clinton for almost seven minutes of a 30 minute segment
over her emails, many times talking over before demanding she only
briefly touch on other important topics such as ISIS.
'Lauer
interrupted Clinton's answers repeatedly to move on. Not once for
Trump,' wrote respected Capitol Hill watcher Norman Ornstein on Twitter,
adding: 'Tough to be a woman running for president.'
