Al Roker apologizes for taking distasteful selfie of South Carolina destruction
Sunday, NBC weatherman Al Roker apologized for tweeting a smiling selfie of himself and some colleagues amidst the destruction in South Carolina.
Using a collapsed highway and a car that had careened off the road as his backdrop, Roker tweeted an image of himself and two NBC co-workers with the caption, “My crew and I getting ready to report on East Coast flooding from S. Carolina on @NBCNightlyNews with Kate Snow.”
The tweet was later removed after fans commented that posing for jovial snapshots amidst so much wreckage was both tacky and insensitive.
@alroker I'm glad our cities destruction is the perfect backdrop fir your selfie. #noclass
