John Kerry: Imus Shouldn’t Have Been Fired

In an interview with NY1, Kerry said this: “I think that the, you know, the punishment has to fit the crime so to speak. I think a long suspension, or a strong suspension met with his appropriate level, given that the team forgave him. To me it was in the hands of the young women. They made the judgment that they thought he was genuine and they felt they could forgive him. And I think it was appropriate to pay a price on the airwaves but Im not sure that it was appropriate to say youre off forever.” He also said he’d go back on Imus’s show when he returns to the air.
