Meredith Vieira who was subbing for Matt Lauer (who was subbing for pink eyed Bob Costas) used her Olympic platform to lobby for TJ Oshie to be Hillary Clinton’s running mate in 2016. why? Because TJ Oshie scored the winning goal in the eight round of a shoot out to beat Russia in hockey. I don’t know what Oshie’s political preferences are, but it’s no doubt what Vieira’s are. Watch the following video of Meredith Vieira discussing how Oshie should be Hillary’s running mate with Al Micheala and Mike Emrick.

Meredith Vieira needs to understand that Americans don’t want to mix their sports with their politics. Following the United States’ thrilling shootout victory over the Russians in hockey on Saturday, NBC’s Meredith Vieira used the opportunity to lobby Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential ambitions.
Speaking to NBC’s Al Michaels, Vieira commented that she overheard a Canadian spectator sat that, “if that Hillary Clinton wants to run for president she should have Oshie as her running mate and she’s a shoo in.”
