Watch Al Roker Lose His Mind On Live TV Over Lyin’ Ryan Lochte!

Al Roker Ryan Lochte

Over the past week, we have learned that U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has a problem with the truth after it was revealed he lied about being robbed at gunpoint while in Brazil.

Well, NBC’s Al Roker is one member of the media who is not defending Lyin’ Lochte and actually lost his cool on live TV after a co-host said the Olympian did not lie about being robbed.

From The Washington Post:

“He lied to you, he lied to Matt Lauer, he lied to his mom,” Roker told Billy Bush on the “Today” show Friday. “He left his teammates hanging while he skedaddled. There was no robbery, there was no pull-over. He lied.”

Bush, who obtained the first interview in which Lochte spun his tale of having a gun held to his forehead, tried to defend the swimmer, saying he had lied about “some details.” Roker was having none of it.

Roker left most people wanting him to land the apology-tour interview with Lochte, but that fell to Matt Lauer. And not long after his outburst, Roker had cooled off and urged everyone to move on. Raise your Caipirinha in a toast to him.

Do you agree with Roker that Lochte lied about his ordeal in Rio? Is the NBC anchor overreacting here? Share your thoughts below!
