That interview. shes such an extraordinarily courageous woman. the takeaways from that interview were not just necessarily about the white house at all. they were about the patterns of abuse and the fact that abusers dont look like a stereotype. they dont look like a troubled person. they can have an impressive pedigree as rob porter did. as i was watching that, my thought was where ais her mothe, where are her friends? theres an intervention needed here. as a woman and a would woman working in ...

Memo to white house staffers. he writes while were all processing the shocking and troubling allegations made against the form white house staffer, i want you to know we take matters of domestic violence seriously. its abhorrent and has no place in our society. kelly says resources are available to the white house. lets bring in our panel. kirsten, im wondering what you make? >> that was an incredible interview. theres so many things. first of all, just for people to understand how hard it is fo...

Response in november to allegations against roy moore. and he said almost the same things he said today. and you have a new piece out today titled the core mission of the gop is now to defend abusers. obviously there are people in the gop who dont want that to be the case. and would like to be distancing themselves from this sort of thing but it is now the second time this has happened in a few months. >> correct. and in the piece i discuss it is not just the abuse of women, it is the abuse of p...

Mcgahn says that -- or theres -- theres a -- okay. theres reporting that don mcgahn knew of, you know, discrepancies with the ex-wives between porter, but he didnt know the full extent of that. so it would be interesting to find out how much people did know in the white house and when they found it out. >> and as you mentioned, as is often the case with domestic abusers, there are two personas. theres the person at home and then theres the person and the face that they present to the world. obvi...

Sounds familiar, that is the same support he offered when alleged child molester roy moore was charged and he faced misconduct from a dozen women. perhaps like a virus that tolerance of abuse has infected the white house and the republican party as a whole, at least according to jennifer ruben at the washington post who writes, the core mission of the gop is now to defend abusers. quote, they are as we have noted, abusers in every sense of the word and in every aspect of the presidency and leade...

Because he does come from that bubble of being protected in the military. he did take this job on, he should be sponlresponsible. and none of these men will suffer. when this episode is no longer in the new, they will go on, they will continue to make the tens of thousand of dollars that they make. and what happens to these women? why is it that they are not being made whole? we know that trump doesnt care about women from day one since he has been in this office, but my big he goes concern is t...

Of a white house leadership that has consistently devalued the health and well-being of women. this is the culture we live in. the abusers are protected, and women are shamed. people feel like, well, why didnt you leave? why didnt you get out of it? that responsibility is placed on them. it takes tremendous courage for women to speak out, to stand up, the way those two ex-wives have. i applaud them. i applaud them for what theyre doing. again, this is our society, and it is time that this issue ...

Thats not going through the staff secretary. but you can imagine for six or seven months, the chaotic white house, even more chaotic than normal at the beginning of the administration, would sort of slip under. the question is the fall, which is, i think, when most people are reporting that kelly and other folks at the white house found out about these allegations. why the lack of reaction? i think there is a sort of myopia particularly at this white house, feeling that theyre under siege. and f...

Person in the white house. he went to harvard, his father worked with the bush administration, worked on the hill for multiple senators. hes someone who in this white house was viewed extremely highly as someone who kept the trains on the tracks, and so it is -- you know, for a lot of folks in the white house, its unsettling to find this, but its important to know, you know, abusers do not always look like what you think abusers look like, and thats why its important to not allow that to be the ...

A domestic abuser reveals quite a tremendous amount of ignorance about what domestic abusers look like. they look like everyone. every man. and some women as well. jen, i wanted to ask you about the part they did acknowledge -- this was the one part of the press briefing they acknowledged they could have handled this better. does a press secretary go out there thinking, like, okay, im going to acknowledge this much wrong doing or this much mishandling? >> he probably had that in his pocket for s...
