NBC Host Calls Leather Clad Bikers "Losers"

(see her retraction at the end of this story)
NBC’s Hoda Kotb pissed off a lot of leather-wearing motorcycle riding enthusiasts with an offhand comment about the time she and Kathie Lee Gifford went to a biker bar, called Alabama Jacks in 2013. “We dressed in leather, like a couple of losers really, like at the biker bar,” Kotb said. Alabama Jacks is located in Key Largo Florida and is a frequent hangout of locals and motorcycle riders.
Bikers took their anger to the Facebook page for the show writing, “Saw the comments made about dressing up like losers in leather and going to Alabama Jacks. You just lost a loser in leather for rating ladies…have fun in your plastic, fake Barbie world!” Another wrote, "I am seriously offended at Hoda's reference to dressing in leather and going to a biker bar as "dressing as losers". Obviously, she needs to get her head out of her dressing room and look at the facts. We are lawyers, doctors, secretaries, mechanics, military, police, college graduates, mothers, and fathers."

Saddens me that its ok for two grown women to drink giant glasses of wine on national tv and bash good people for no other reason than they dont understand what leathers are for. Shame on them

And Kathy looked like a transvestit we all thout it was a joke !!!!
Hoda should have to apologize for what she said about dressing in leather like losers at a bike bar
