Advantages republicans have, kristen. >> absolutely. privately republicans already say were bracing for potentially losing the house. the comments that we heard from the president this week in responding to the rob porter crisis didnt help in the eyes of republicans and democrats frankly. they feel like hes missing the moment, like hes being tone deaf. at this critical moment where there is this national reckoning, this me too moment. you speak to folks who say, look, he could have said somethin...

Himself. bill oreilly, he was a good guy. roger ailes helped his accusers. about himself, he says either all the women are liars, for some reason only men, men like him, are allowed to be believed. or he says when hes actually caught on tape talking about, for instance, how hes grabbed women by the genitals, that its locker room talk. the women dont matter. its making sure men like himself are safe. >> jason, here we are about 24 hours after that tweet came out. id like to move on to the politic...

Happened, press their case, and have that talked about by people in power. >> this is such a moment, the me too movement thats taken off is like something weve never seen in this country in terms of a real shift in power. for many, many years women were fearful of coming forward with allegations against powerful figures and powerful men, and there was a sense they would be the ones who would be called liars or suffer consequences to their careers or worse if they spoke out, and whats happened in...

Welcome back, everybody. thats it for us for now. the news continues with my colleag colleague, main mamman meu what deen. >> offering support for the accusers and the memo fight continues. donald trump refuse to release a democratic memo that sailed through the vetting process. will this new document ever see the light of day. getting cozy at the olympics. north and south korea showing signs of coming together. could that spell trole for the trump administration. to keep kim jong-un from beco...

Im not clear exactly what she knew about his background and what he told her. here, maybe romantic impulses got in the way where she wanted to believe him. but, you know, she mishandled that. and its an embarrassment. but, you know, the president is -- his sympathies lie with rob porter and certainly not his accusers. so im not so sure that if he had been consulted in those initial statements that they would have been all that different. but she proceeded apparently without full knowledge so yes...

Victimized. when bill oreilly was fired, trump said, quote, i dont think bill did anything wrong. swin, you have new reporting about how the president is reacting to these accusations against porter privately. does it match what hes saying publicly? >> yes, and it matches his track record, as you just pointed out. what he has been saying privately over the last couple of few days to aides and confidantes, according to our reporting at the daily beast is hes been questioning the credibility of th...

Mention rob porters more recent ex-girlfriend also alleging abuse. nor did john kellys memo to staffers last night or his public statement acknowledge any of rob porters accusers. what really stands out is the presidents almost reflexive defense of an alleged abuser or even simple acknowledgement of the accusers and their allegations. as stunning as that was to hear today, maybe it really shouldnt have been stunning because this president has a history of doing for others what he did today for r...

Happens to be on a friday night. late tonight we learned of another staffer leaving after another spousal abuse allegation. david sorensen is a member of the white house speech writing team. he denies the allegations. thats on top of rob porters departure. he called attention to porters claims of innocence and spoke about the mans talent but said nothing about his accusers or even the issue of domestic abuse in general. >> i would say obviously a tough time for him. he did a very good job when h...

Days to explain why its taken so long for them to dismisporter. they didnt know fully the allegations. the president seems to take a different approach to that. he has been talking a lot about the rights of the accused and nothing about the accusers. hes said not a word about two ex-wives. thats pretty consistent with how president trump has dealt with accusations like this in the past including those against 4i him by several women. the white house to this day still insists to this day are lyin...

On wall street, thank you for your service and get him the heck out of there, instead of permitting this crisis to brew. thats exactly what happened here. >> so richard, you know, is there an obligation from the white house counsel to do something more with allegations like this? is it strictly morality, you know, a moral issue, versus a legal issue, even though as a lawyer, as a counsel of the white house, they know what to do with this kind of information? or is it really predicated on the acc...
