(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."

NBC’s Hoda Kotb What have you done personally to help anyone but your selfish ass!!! (YOUR THE LOSER)!!!
There is one thing that bikers have in common, coast to coast, and around the world. We do more for charities than any government, or any stuffy people who think that bikers are bad people. It’s about the children, the less fortunate, and our hero’s that fight for our freedom!! I get tears in my eyes every time I see an event that gives. The best part of it is everyone of them has a success story to it!!! we prevail!!
BIKERS ROCK!! JUST SAYIN! MLAR!
