American reporter Katie Couric’s husband John Molner has been slammed for his reaction to the overruling of Roe v. Wade.
Katie Couric’s Husband John Molner Blasted For His Roe v Wade Comments-‘You’re So Tone Deaf!’
This decision has now allowed each state do decide whether or not abortion should be legal, thus taking away the previous Federal right to abortion that had existed across the board. In doing so, the decision has led to a split within American society as protests have hit the country.
And yet, John had other pressing issues on his mind. He just so happened to be aggrieved about Delta airlines canceling his flight, which occurred on the same day as the Supreme Court handing down the new Roe v Wade ruling.
And by describing the two events together in a single post, John’s comments were inadvertently interpreted as giving his flight cancellation the same importance as Roe v Wade. In a post to his followers on Instagram, John shared a picture of a plane.
The post was captioned by the following comments: “It’s a sad day in our nation. Roe v Wade has been repealed…And Delta Airlines continues its descent toward becoming the worst major US airlines, canceling scores of flights daily.”
This raised a huge reaction from the public for the following reasons. First of all, John was called out for his tone-deaf comments on the basis that he was equating abortion rulings with flights.
Secondly, others felt he should have been more sensitive, knowing that Roe v Wade has just been overturned. And this was reflected in the comments that followed on social media.
One person wrote: “Seriously!?!? How can you compare women…to your flight getting cancelled!? I’ve heard horror stories of your misogynistic ways from people who worked for you and Katie, but gave you the benefit of the doubt.
“Thanks for spelling it out for everyone … you’re so tone deaf!” It is probably best that John rethinks his social media posts going forward. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
