FOXNEWSW Hannity November 25, 2017

Ive learned from recent stories that some of those encounters have crossed the line for some women and i know that any number is too many. I feel terribly that ive made some women feel badly and for that, i am so sorry. I want to make sure that never happens again. Senator franken is not the only democrat facing accusations Jonathan Conyers is also being accused. The socalled party of womens rights isnt quite united in its response to this to this inter partes Sexual Harassment. Some calling for conyers to step down while others try to dodge the subject. Watch this. Conyers says it didnt happen, you say he should resign. Why . Because enough is enough. At this point, what i am voicing publicly is what every single private citizen is saying across america. Why are the rules for politicians in washington different than they are for everyone else . Once we circuiting into the realm of politicians, lets get the Ethics Commission into it and lets investigate this and take forever to come up with a conclusion. Should he resign . I think the ethics process should precede the allegations against congressman conyers are disturbing and disappointing deeply troubling. The ethics investigation should be thorough and swift and comprehensive. Kimberly is it time for conyers and franken to resign and will more outrage fracture the Democratic Party . Joining us now is Fox News Contributor, allen west, and kaylee mack and any and fox news correspondent at large, Geraldo Rivera. Thank you for joining me on a friday evening. Ill start with you. He is expected to speak with reporters on sunday. What do you think you might say or should say to convince people that he should and fact not resign . Hes been apologizing nonstop kind of. I expect that hell say hes sorry, but hes staying in his seat. I have make a quick observation. I hate when the intensity of our reaction to some of these allegations is directly related to the Political Party they a person being accused. I wanted to have the same reaction regardless of whether the perpetrators are republican or democrat. The other thing i want to say is is when someone is in accused rapist like bill cobbs be. What is this accusation . Conyers wearing his underwear in front of a staffer. I heard someone say today, it definitely was not sexual. The thing that bugs me about conyers is got the taxpayer to pay his settlement for allegedly being out of line with one of his staffers. Kimberly you are saying he should get a pass because hes 88 . Thats ridiculous. Its also about how he makes it a person feel. Its inappropriate. He should be conducting any kind of meeting like that. We dont give a pass for Something Like that. My problem is very simple. If its not criminal conduct thats being alleged, then what is it exactly . Its going to the Ethics Committee they say. The Ethics Committee cannot, by law, review something that is a crime. If its a crime thats alleged, then it goes to the u. S. Attorneys office that you come as a great attorney, already know. People minimize the Ethics Committee, theyre not even going to get it. What is this . Are we using this new wave of Sexual Harassment allegations to get back in bed with bosses or hated exlovers . I worry we started down a very slippery slope. Kimberly there has to be a course of due process in some situations and standards and also, adjudicating the situation in terms of developing a pattern, verifying witnesses. I dont think in any way it should minimize the seriousness of the allegations. They should be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. Youre absolutely right, kimberly. Whats disturbing for me is the fact that who are these people who decide which women are to be believed . I think that is what is most confusing about this situation. This goes all the way back to bill clinton and the women who refused him, but they were not supposed to be believed and they were attacked. When you have a 40yearold case and you talk about roy moore, then all of a sudden thats to be believed. When it comes to al franken who is just a guy who likes to hug people and its no big deal or with john conyers, we want to look the other way. There has to be some consistency and what we see happening out there and i dont see that consistency. Kimberly how do you see this situation . Its tough because it can happen in the fact of how women perceive it or someone whos been in a situation like this. We are all forward due process and adjudicating it and determining the credibility. It is more complicated when things go back way in time. Thats right and thats why every single one of these cases has to be looked at in isolation. They cant be lumped together. Everything a person should be heard. Its very troubling when we see particularly from congressman conyers when we see someone who pays 27,000 of federal taxpayer money to settle with a woman who is accusing him of firing her for not accepting his sexual advances. That misuse of the taxpayer funds should be enough to call for his resignation. What youre seeing is a case of the powerful praying on the people. Its a by a party line, its people and powerful positions in hollywood, media, congress preying on the american people. Kimberly geraldo, the Democratic Party made themselves out to be the champion of womens rights. We can expect to march on washington on behalf of the women that have made his allegations or been victimized . I wouldnt hold my breath on that one, but let me give you an example. We mentioned franken. He is now infamous for patting the of someone he took a picture with allegedly. Thats outrageous. What about the allegation thats gained quite a bit of legitimacy that george h. W. Bush, bush 41 from his wheelchair tells a joke when women stand alongside him, whos your favorite comedian . Mine is David Copafeel and then he pats them on the butt. Kimberly youre the one whos making the exception for the elderly that they get some kind of get out of Sexual Harassment jail free card. May be i was speaking as a Senior Citizen myself. My main point with it conyers that the allegation is one thing when he was going after allegedly some subordinate and asked them when they got paid up for the taxpayer money, thats outrageous and the fact that he somehow weaseled his way so he didnt have to pay it out of his own pocket, the fact that it was secret for so long, i think congress is totally complicit. I think on right and left, democrat republican, i can give you 100 cases where mark foley, bitter, craig, i can go on and on and on. How many times our leaders have been guilty of these. Kimberly also, taxpayer money should encode to pay for these and the abuse that people have to suffer in a work place. Do you think this is a double standard of any sort . From that republican party, you see it on a equivocal stance from the president and our party saying if any allegation is true, they should step down. Maybe its a handful now, but where is the consistency from their party . Dont cover for your own, be a party of women. Kimberly how about that because they do hold themselves out to be the gold standard, but with the response and assessment and being proactive on behalf of women in the sense of liberals and democrats has not been their most were the shining moment. What youre absolutely right. The actions do not match up with the rhetoric and you brought up the point, im waiting for madonna or ashley judd are some of these individuals to come out and start screaming from the raptors, but you wont hear that. I was in congress when the Anthony Weiner incident came down in for him to have done the things he did and then continue to run for mayor of new york city, you have to put these things in perspective, but if Congress Wants to do the right thing, they should let us know and full transparency who are the people that were recipients of these taxpayerfunded bailouts for their behavior . Thats something they need to do or else it will be a boys club. Kimberly great point, geraldo, but there needs to be a thorough and fair accounting from both sides in terms of how these things were handled. An investigation back to understand that, where the taxpayer funds allocated to and after what kind of due process et cetera are we able to vet the allegations and then to act in a way expeditiously to make sure that there was some kind of justice and some kind of reprisal and some kind of education Going Forward that this wooded fact not not going to occur . We have Anthony Weiner going to jail, so justice has been served in his case. You have barton out of texas who just got caught sending pictures of his genitalia to a girl he was courting. Whats he going to do . Kimberly his statement is that it was a relationship that he was having with these different women and there wasnt some back and forth in terms of dont try to blackmail you with these photos and he went to capitol police. I was at polo, the restaurant that you love in new york and Kathy Lee Gifford was there. We saw her at a table as we were leaving and she said to me and erica, can you believe whats going on right now . I dont know who to say hello t to. Im afraid someone will consider it Sexual Harassment. Maybe you know it when you see it, but my point is you need clear standards and you need a standardize repercussion for bad behavior. Obviously a criminal case, Anthony Weiner goes to jail, good riddance. Thats where he should go. I think congress has to clean its own house. Kimberly wear tight on time. Kaylee, you that the final word. We have a systemic problem that when accuser brings back a claim against a powerful lawmaker, or obstructed to immediate counseling. Its a powerful versus the people, it is excusable and Congress Needs a clean this up. Kimberly lieutenant colonel, a lot more needs to be done here. Seems like theyre feeling pretty abysmally. Theres a lot more that needs to be done. I find it very interesting that we have congress deciding how much money we can keep ourselves as they go through this tax bill process, but yet theyre using our money to take care of their aberrant behaviors. Kimberly absolutely unbelievable. Thanks so much panel, fantastic to have you here tonight. One prominent democrat is now slumming former president bill clinton for his history of Sexual Misconduct.

Kimberly will come back to this special edition of hannity. Senator franken and congressman conyers arent the only problems for democrats. For decades, women have accused former president bill clinton of serious Sexual Misconduct including rape. Including former Senior Advisor to president obama, watch this. I was arguing with a friend who said how can people have voted for donald trump after that access Hollywood Tape . I had to be honest and i said i voted for bill clinton twice. I think he was a really fine president , a brilliant guy, committed public servant, but i knew, everyone in politics knew about his behavior and we look the other way. I think theres a lot of soulsearching to be done. Kimberly shocking revelation. Many believe that bill clinton and his misconduct and subsequent coverups may have played a role in his wifes brutal 2016 seek for a seat. No one in the Democratic Party have asked her advice for the 2020 president ial election. I wonder why. Has anyone been to see you yet . Nobodys actually been to see me. I see democrats all the time and nobody has said im going to run or im thinking about running, give me advice. It is too soon. There may be some private planning going on by some people, i wouldnt know who, i couldnt venture a guess, but in terms of actually speaking out. People have said i want to talk to you, but i havent had those conversations in large measure because i say im going to focus next year on 2018 and then ill be happy to talk. Kimberly joining us now, jean allowed in, and doug shown. Thank you both for joining us. There is a very heated conversation about Sexual Misconduct. You think were going to see more and more democrats distance themselves from bill and Hillary Clinton in light of thi this . Look, kimberly, my sense is that with bill clinton, many of the allegations have already been litigated, they have been dealt with in an impeachment process or in court. To me, if there are no allegations, lets do with them. To go back 20 years to relitigate at or earlier, i think its a waste of time and energy. I would say this. If you want to talk about uranium one, if you want to talk about the dossier, there are a lot of Unanswered Questions there. To go relitigate what bill clinton may or may not have done, i dont and thats worthwhile. What David Axelrod says, when he says everyone knew, i didnt know. The revelations about Monica Lewinsky renews to me me when they came out. Kimberly can you hear us now . I can hear you. Kimberly people were aware of whats going on and i understand not relitigating, however as a former prosecutor, when a crime has been committed, i dont look the other way just because of the passage of time. To me, when theres allegations of Sexual Misconduct, not just harassment, but rape, should not be addressed and what about the democrats owning up to that in terms of the double standard that they seem to have as of late . Of course they have a double standard because if they didnt have a double standard, they wouldnt have any standards at all. This is a transparent attempt on the part of the Democratic Party now that a clinton will never be on a ballot again. The party of clinton, of franken, they must think voters are really stupid if theyre going to fall for the Democratic Party. Just like you said, wheres the apology to these women that they smeared for all these years . If they knew this was going on, what are they go along with a question Mark Kimberly she makes a great point. When you see people that have been savaged in the press and the media and quite frankly, by Hillary Clinton herself, its very disturbing. You would think it played a role in the fact that she was defeated. I think if you listen to a bill Clinton Campaign more in the midwest, focused on workingclass voters, talked about jobs, she would have done a lot better than she did trying to mimic the Obama Campaign from 2008 and 2012. You mentioned juanita brodrick. As a prosecutor, you surely would know that when there are multiple stories, multiple accounts of what happened in an event, its a much tougher case to litigate when the person who allegedly was violated has told different stories at different times. Kimberly she complained of it, she had physical injuries to the lip. The bottom line is not bill clinton, but what Hillary Clinton did was wrong in the way she treated those women and then expected she was going to go want to be president of the United States given her abhorrent behavior. The way to have done this with any legitimacy is for the Democrat Party to come out as a party and apologize to these women. If they are so concerned about the long term stress of women who go through the sorts of things that they face every day i met whenever they see the news, trying to take the moral high ground, then they should be concerned about the fact that these women are still traumatized by what happened to them under that administration. Theyve been continually traumatized after all of their allegations have been swept under the rug for all these years. Its too convenient for them to knock them out and say we are the party of sexual purity suddenly. The public as a going to buy this. Kimberly in an earlier segment, Geraldo Rivera was seeming to give a pass by saying conyers is older, so what if he has a meaning essentially in his underwear . Im sure it wasnt sexual in nature. Just because he didnt look at David Beckham and his underwear that its okay to do that . I have a different view of this. This is a realtime realworld event. Lets let the Ethics Committee investigate and if the facts are as compromising as you are now suggesting in many reports have suggested, im not sure theres a place for him in the house, im not sure it is a place for al franken and these reports about joe burton i think on the republican side also merit investigation by the Ethics Committee. Put another way, i think we need to be nonpartisan about it, not trying to cast one party or the other party. If it happens in its as egregious as its suggested, lets investigate. Kimberly regard with the politics, it should have the same standards and due process for either side. Thats the bottom line. There is a really important psychological component to these women i think as we are going through this process that they are validated that
