Longtime NBC reporter Tom Brokaw claimed he was "hacked" on Sunday after his account sent out a link to a story by the conservative media watchdog site NewsBusters.
Twitchy provided a screenshot of the deleted tweet, which linked to an article about Newsweek writer Nina Burleigh's piece criticizing Donald Trump's female family members for wearing heels.
Burleigh said in 1998 that she would give Bill Clinton oral sex in thanks for keeping abortion legal, and NewsBusters' headline read, "Journalist Who Offered Bill Clinton Oral Sex Decries Mrs. Trump's Degrading High Heels."
Brokaw deleted it, and he then wrote, "Hacked, did not send last twitter. ignore [sic]."

Brokaw, who now serves as a special correspondent for NBC News, was the longtime anchor of "NBC Nightly News."
