Four Democratic 2020 candidates have signed a letter requesting an independent investigation in sexual abuse allegations against NBC. The presidential candidates signed the letter ahead of Wednesday night’s debate, which is co-sponsored by MSNBC. The candidates have so far given no indication that they will pull out of the debate if MSNBC and NBC’s parent company, Comcast, does not agree to their request.
Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) signed the letter earlier this week and addressed it to Tom Perez, the current chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Huffington Post first reported on the letter Tuesday morning, writing that the candidates expressed concern that a debate hosted by MSNBC would send the wrong message to victims of sexual abuse if its parent company didn’t agree to an outside investigation into NBC.
