How can a joke be a problem on any level when its a JOKE ?
The fact that she had to "defend him as a good person" is the issue.. She should have told the critics to kick rocks. Instead she chastised him publicly, forced him to apologize then said in a statement that his "behavior will not be tolerated"
Pretty much treated dude like a small child..Hit him with that passive aggressive sh1t about him being too arrogant or dumb to even know what he was doing..
Luckily for her nobody will put her privileged azz in the same position for making light of rape and foreign dictatorship oppression and human rights violations.. Nor should they because it was all jokes.. Too bad Tracy couldn't get the same benefit of doubt...
