Werent all excited about voting for roy moore once this came out, even a weak endorsement from trump might get those people excited. Alabama is very much trump country. Reporter no one here seems to think that trumps backing is any game changer, not in a state where voters take pride in putting a thumb in the eye of the establishment, even the republican establishment. Even if all of these allegations were proven definitively to be positive, i would still vote for him over doug jones. What were getting nationally is, oh, alabamans would vote for a pedophile over a liberal democrat. In this circumstance, yes. Reporter now lets get to the bad news coming out of the Roy Moore Campaign and that is the Communications Director, thats john rodgers, suddenly called it quits. The campaign is trying to downplay this, saying this was a decision they reached last friday. However, they also say its because of the intense Media Scrutiny that they felt they needed a more experienced hand
in the communications job. But to change a Communications Director this close to election raises a lot of eyebrows, poppy. It does indeed. Marty savage, we appreciate the reporting. Thank you. App ry april ryan, tom bates, and Kiersten Powers joins us. Tom, let me begin with you given your position there in alabama. What do you think after seeing martys piece and from all the folks you talk to. Do voters care what trump thinks about moore, or do those other republicans who spoke out against moore carry more weight . I think marty did a good job of capturing where we are now. Trumps statement yesterday i think will give some voters cover to vote for roy moore, but right now both candidates are fiercely focused on a small segment of republicans who
believe the allegations and are really struggling between Party Loyalty and moral values. If it goes party lines, of course more wins. If it goes values he may not necessarily win. I dont think his platform really reflects what the majority of folks in alabama think at this point. Kiersten, we learned in the president ial election in 2016 voters are not always honest when it comes to what they tell polsters. We saw the trump effect right after that access Hollywood Tape dropped in october. Voters didnt want to admit they were going to vote for the president but went on to do so. The latest poll we have out of alabama shows the democrat, doug jones, is up by 8 points. The Moore Campaign says dont believe that for a second. Heres the chief campaign strategist, dean young. Fox news puts out their fake polls and everybody else can. The people of Alabama Dont Go for what yall are trying to sell. Okay, thats his take. Now that the president has
weighed in with such staunch support of roy moore, does that give other republicans cover to say how they really feel . First, its a little hard to believe an 8point lead by a democrat. Is that what you said . You said the democrat is up 8 . Yeah. Thats very hard to believe, even in these circumstances. Roy moore already wasnt a particularly strong candidate prior to this happening. I think he was up about 6 points prior to this in a state that trump won by almost 30 points. But at a minimum, the polls seem to be neck and neck. The other thing is that they have definitely eroded his support has eroded since the news broke. So its being factored in. Does trump make a difference . It certainly doesnt hurt him. I think it probably helps him but we need to remember the primary where Republican Voters chose to ignore what trump had to say and went with roy moore in the first place. I think that it helps him
by him on capitol hill and also at the rnc, and the rnc has broken ranks by not giving funding and support to roy moore. People on the hill, you have senate and House Leaders who have said, look, theres credible evidence about this. You even have Senate LeaderMitch Mcconnell talking about, look, were going to find a way to get him out if he wins. And i listened to the former head of the rnc, michael steele, saying this is not about the Republican Party and its not about the women. What does this boil down to, and were going to wait to find out to see if the president next week hes going to give us word next week if hes going to campaign for roy moore. This is beyond politics. This is beyond politics. Tom, im old enough to remember when the president wanted Luther Strange to win this race, right . That was like a few weeks ago. Him out campaigning with roy moore knowing what he know now would be quite an optics issue potentially for this president. When it comes down to it, back
moore theres a special place in hell for people who prey on children. Weve seen before where she defers from her father on issues and it doesnt seem to move him much, especially on this kind of issues. Hes dig into making his own political decisions. Roy moore, he regretted immediately that he hadnt endorsed roy moore. Roy moore was always his kind of person than Luther Strange and he went along with the establishment and he regretted it. Thank you all very much. Have a great thanksgiving. I appreciate it. Outfront, next, President Trump goes oneonone with the father of a ucla basketball player.

President trump refusing to let go of his feud with lavar ball. The president tweeting today, it wasnt the white house, it wasnt the state department. It wasnt father lavars socalled people on the ground in china that got his son out of a longterm prison sentence. It was me. Too bad. Lavar is just a poor mans version of don king without the hair. Just think, lavar, you could have spent the next five to ten years visiting your son in china but no nba contract to support you. Remember, shoplifting is not a little thing. Its a really big deal, especially in china. Ungrateful too. This twitter rant comes after ball showed a lack of appreciation in the president s role in his sons release. If he said he helped, thats good for his mind. Why even got to say that. If you helped you shouldnt have to say anything. If i help somebody, i dont walk around saying, i helped you now. I would say thank you if he would have put him on his plane and put him on. If i was going to thank somebody, id probably thank president xi. Jeff zeleny is out front. Jeff, the president chose to engage in this fight on twitter early this morning, 5 30 in the morning, two and a half hours before he took to twitter to address the Navy Plane Crash in which three americans are still missing. Why . Poppy, he did. It was actually about 90 minutes before sunrise here when that first tweet came out about 5 25 against lavar ball. Of course those three words there in all caps i think spoke volumes. It was me. The president trying to seek credit for this of course but its also, poppy, weve seen a pattern of this throughout most of the last year. The president is also trying to change the subject, trying to produce a distraction, trying to set the tone of the day. One thing he did not talk about at all today was roy moore, the Alabama Senate race which of course was in the news. The president wanted to revive
those old grievances and drive the conversation. But it was a bit odd for him to be tweeting like this when there was a National Security event happening. Its not every morning that theres a plane crash that happens in okinawa in the Pacific Ocean while the president is waking up. So that was a bit odd. But he was briefed on it around 8 00 or so this morning we were told and then he tweeted about that shortly afterward. What im struck by here is the president wants to be in the conversation. Other president s, president bush i covered, barack obama i covered, they enjoyed being on vacation. The white house went to Great Lengths today to say the president was not on vacation. He did spend five hours at his golf course here which is fine. No one would ever blame a president for doing that. But the white house would not even say he was playing golf. All he know he did today was sent out a lot of tweets. Jeff zeleny, thank you very much. Ben ferguson, host of the Ben Ferguson Show and former white house aid under the clinton administration, keith boykin. Nice to have you both here. Ben, why . Why tweet about this again, 5 25 in the morning. Im walking into work and this is what im reading and its not until 8 00 a. M. That he tweets about the Navy Plane Crash with these americans on it. I dont understand. Help me. One, he wasnt briefed at 5 00 a. M. About the navy. As you just heard jeff say he reads the news. We all do. He was briefed at 8 00 in the morning. I think its appropriate for the president to wait until hes briefed to find out what happened with this plane crash. The other thing is I Dont Know Why people are so surprised. This is what donald trump is going to do with his twitter. Whether you like it or not, hes going to be blunt. Hes going to fight back. Theyve said that from the white house. I dont know why anyone is surprised that the president decides to tweet about things like this. Is it my style . No. I wouldnt do it this way. Clearly the president believes that this is what he should be doing. He did it through the entire campaign. But i think to imply that somehow he tweeted about this
before the plane crash that somehow he Wasnt Prioritizing when he was briefed at 8 00 and tweeted about that plane crash at 8 30, thats a little bit unfair. The president s tweet, too bad, lavar is just a poor mans version of don king without the hair. There have been many who asked with this debate specifically, is there race at play . How do you see it . Yes, there is race at play. Its clearly a part of a pattern the president has been engaged for quite some time when he started in his campaign attacking mexicans, attacking musli muslims. He started his political white house if you will with this whole sort of attack on barack obama for five and a half years, questioning his birth certificate, not the white house but his involvement in politics i should say. This is part of what hes doing right now with the haitians. Hes going after the haitians,
after lavar ball, marshawn lynch, fredricka wilson. Hes repeatedly attacking prominent africanamerican figures in order to distract attention from the other things he should be working on. Hes not focused on as you mentioned before, he woke up at 5 30 in the morning, he wasnt talking about the u. S. Navy aircraft in the pacific. He wasnt talking about sergeant la David Johnsons remains which were discovered. He wasnt talking about sergeant la David Johnsons remains. He was not talking about the 50 of Puerto Ricans who dont have electricity. Hes not talking about north korea and nuclear missiles. Hes not talking about the fact that he just endorsed a Child Molester essentially for the United States senate. What he wants to talk about is racially divisive issues and thats troubling from the president of the United States. Lets just say i accept the premise for a moment that this is racially motivated. If the president s tweet was somehow racially motivated, then
explain to me, keith, why the president would use Political Capital while meeting on very serious issues with the president of china to then have influence on that leader to get three africanamerican Basketball Players out of prison from probably what would have been five to ten years . You cant say that the guy is being racist at one moment when he actually was sitting down with a president of a foreign country and getting three africanamerican Basketball Players if youre claiming its about race, out of a country and keeping them out of jail. Thats not racism, sir, as much as you want it to be about race. Fair point, keith . Yes, it is a fair point. I was one of the first people to congratulate or compliment the president when he announced that the three Basketball Players were coming home and he had done something to help them. Im not completely sure that he did for the same reason dont say its racism. Let me finish. Im not sure that he actually did contribute to this at all but he says he did and the same way he says he had the largest
inauguration in history which we know isnt true. Hes always claiming credit for things. No one has discounted the president the president was clear wait, wait, no. Keith, keith, you cant make up facts here. I do know im not making up facts. I dont know why you are. I do know that the president has a history of racism. I do know hes willing to believe Vladimir Putin the race card gets old. Hes willing to believe guys, were tight on time. Ben, final response to that. The race card gets old when you play it all the time while the president and its been confirmed did get involved, did talk to the president of that country. The fact is he helped three africanamerican Basketball Players keep out of prison for what would have been five to ten years. If thats what racism looks like, you can call me or anybody else a racist every day of the
week because thats not racism, sir. Thats the president doing his job and you should actually call it that. Gentlemen, thank you. Doing one good thing does not negate Everything Else that he did. Its an important debate. Thank you. A former staffer claiming tonight that john conyers mistreated her.

New tonight, the longest serving congressman from Texas Apologizing after a sexually explicit photo of him was posted online. Republican joe barton who served 17 terms in congress doesnt deny the photo is legitimate and says in part, quote, while separated from my second wife prior to the divorce i had sexual relationships with other adult women. Each was consensual. Im sorry that i let my constituents down. What does this mean for this political future . Reporter poppy, in the short term he says hes staying put. He is not resigning and thats according to the pr company who is helping him deal with the fallout from this. To emphasize this just a moment, this is a city member of congress and even though he says this was from a consensual
relationship, these are incredibly lewd photos out there on the internet of him which he does not deny are legitimate, as you said, so there certainly is a significant cloud hanging over him. This also comes amid growing questions about the fate of the democratic congressman john conyers, now another woman has come forward accusing him of Sexual Harassment and just like conyers own hometown paper, the Detroit Free Press, a democratic congressman is calling on him to resign. What can you tell us . Congresswoman Kathleen Rice is calling for his resignation and said in a statement, quote, representative conyers should resign. Ive reviewed the allegations against him and theyre as credible as they are repulsive, whether it happened 40 years ago or last week, settlement or no settlement, democrat or republican, harassment is
harassment, assault is assault. We all know credible allegations when we hear them and the same is true of hypocrisy. The Detroit Free Press is the congressmans Hometown Newspaper and was out with a scathing editorial today also calling on him to resign and specifically saying that he believe he attempted to bury these allegations of Sexual Harassment by paying off one of the accusers from his own offices budget. Sun land, thank you for the reporting. Breaking news, another woman coming forward with accusations tonight against Congressman Conyers. Melanie sloan says she was harassed and verbally abused while working for the congressman in the 90s. He is denying any wrongdoing through his attorney. Melanie sloan is out front with me tonight. Thank you for being here. I know it is a difficult conversation to have. I appreciate it. Lets begin with this, what happened to you and when . I worked for Congressman Conyers on the house judiciary
committee staff as minority counsel from 95 to 98. While it was a great job, i was working on crime policy, i was very excited to be there. I had previously worked for house member then house member Chuck Schumer and i also worked on the Senate Judiciary committee for joe biden. I was very happy to be in Congressman Conyers ju ddiciar staff. He became increasingly abusive to him. One occasion whery was organizing something for him in new york and he brought his toddler son and forced me to be behind the stage baby sitting his son during the entire hearing that was my hearing. There was another instance where he hauled me out of a meeting with a bunch of Domestic Violence advocates and started screaming at me at the top of his lungs. He fired me numerous times only to keep me. He once started yelling at me for not wearing stockings and i responded, but youre not wearing socks. There was of course also the time where i walked into his office and he was in a shirt and underwear, and i just turned around immediately and left. On that last note, you were, i believe, melanie, summoned to his office, is that correct . He called you, asked you to come. You didnt just show up. He asked you to come. Is that correct . Yeah, somebody would have told me that he was ready to talk to me and then he was just not dressed. I want to emphasize though the way it seemed to me at the time, i was not sexually harassed by Congressman Conyers. I was harassed by the congressman, verbally abused repeatedly and it was very unpleasant to walk in on him in his office in his underwear, but it was a very short moment and i think it was more a question of him just not really caring that i was there and not being very concerned about what he was
wearing. Did you tell anyone about all of these instances . I did, in fact, talk about all of these instances. I went to my supervisors. I was becoming increasingly upset about what was going on in the office. I was having a very hard time. It was emotionally very debilitating. I also spoke with somebody who worked for the then Minority Leader richard gep hart and i asked them to intervene and see if they could help me with Congressman Conyers. I did a lot of work with womens gru groups and i asked somebody from a leading womens group if she might be able to intervene and she told me that he was really great on their issues so the answer was no. Eventually i called a reporter that i knew that i had worked with on some policy issues and i tried talking about some of these things. He called some other people to confirm some of the things that i said and another woman who worked for Congressman Conyers on the Committee Told him that
he was mentally unstable. He then told me that he couldnt be sure i wasnt mentally unstable even though we had worked together for years and he wouldnt do anything with the story. So no one listened to you essentially is what youre saying . Right. Let me get some responses and get you to react to them from dick depgep hart. He said he doesnt recall you raising your kesconcerns. He did go on to condemn any abuse like this. Also the lawyer for Congressman Conyers just told us, attorney arnold reed, just told us that you were in Conyers Office about a month ago and were, quote, laughing and cajoling with staff members. He doesnt mention the congressman specifically being there at the time. He also says im not even sure why its a story because the individual admits that my client doesnt harass. I was in the judiciary office
a couple months ago, thats certainly true. These are all instances that took place 20 years ago. I dont see whether my being in the Judiciary Committee office talking to staff what that would have to do at all with what happened with Congressman Conyers all those years ago. I agree that its not the same as the Sexual Harassment allegations that other staffers are making, but there were things in those allegations that i felt like i could confirm. For example, the baby sitting that i had been asked to engage in baby sitting. So i felt like it was important to say so. Let me just say, i didnt come forward with this. Somebody from the Washington Post called me, and at first i was only interested in talking about it on background and then i thought about it for a few hours yesterday afternoon and i thought this is sort of exactly the problem. People dont want to go on the record and in washington im sure like in other industries but particularly here, loyalty is considered paramount and its
very disloyal to talk about the bad things that happened, particularly in congress, and im sure im far from the only woman whos had really bad experiences and im sure women have had much worse experiences than i did but people are so afraid to come forward and i feel like if people in the Entertainment Industry and the Media Industry can come forward, its also important for people in government to also talk about their experiences on the record. Its not really my shame. Its the congressmans. I shouldnt be embarrassed about what he did. Melanie, do you think that Congressman Conyers should resign . You know, i have not thought about that. I definitely think Congressman Conyers should be held accountable for his conduct and particularly the Sexual Harassment allegations which i think are very serious. I think the kind of abuse i suffered from Congressman Conyers while not acceptable at all is not necessarily uncommon. I think there are other members of congress who have behaved perhaps equally as badly to their staff, men and frankly
women. Nobody gets held accountable for their mistreatment of Congressional Staff and i think that we need to change the entire attitude and there needs to be a place for people to go and complain and actually be heard and have a possibility of some kind of repercussion which were none in my day. There was nothing i could do. I did everything i could think of and there was no way to fix it. And thus the Legislation Put Forth by democratic senator kristen jill abrand and congressman Jackie Speier trying to change the system at the haerlt of it. Right. Thank you very much. Out front right now, democratic Congressman Jeffries sits on the committee with Congressman Conyers. You just heard what i heard from melanie. Whats your response . What melanie has made clear is theres a system in congress thats broken and needs to be remedied so people feel comfortable coming forward to report allegations of misconduct
or concern or hostile Work Environment which melanie appears to be describing without fear of retribution. Thats an important lesson and i think we all can take away from this moment that were confronting in america right now. Well see what happens, what accountability there is. Do you think congressman cony s conyers you sit with him on the yu dijudiciary, should he r . The allegations are clearly disturbi disturbing, disappointing, deeply troubling. The Ethics Investigation should be thorough, taylor swift, cosw importantly, it should respect the dig any of the women who are part of it so they are not chilled in being reluctant to come forward down the road. Let me get your response to what Gregory Meeks of new york also told me this morning about what he thinks conyers should do. Lets listen. If he defends himself and
says theres nothing there that he could come back, but you cant, in my estimation, just in the scenario were in to be the Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee at this time. I think he should step down. Do you agree . Its going to be very tough for Congressman Conyers to proceed as Ranking Member moving forward. Thats a decision what do you think . You sit on that committee. This is your Ranking Member and your party. Should he be leading that right now . I think the process is going to have to take shape moving forward and hopefully will unfold in a swift manner so do you have faith he had lead the Judiciary Committee right now . My view is that were going to come back to Congress Last week. The Congressional Black Caucus will meet. The overall Democratic Caucus will meet and we should come to a collective decision and not make these decisions on a casebycase basis. We need an overall standard. Right now the rules are such that if theres an Ethics Investigation that could be lodged, not in this instance but in others, by a political enemy, it should not necessarily trigger an automatic standing down of someone from the Ranking Member. But in this context with these disturbing allegations, perhaps we need to go in a different direction. Given all that youve said about the accusations against this democrat, what about roy moore . Should he be held to the same standard . Hes not in the senate yet. Well see if he wins. Hes not open to an Ethics Investigation like al franken or john conyers. For roy moore do you give him the same latitude . The people from alabama are going to make the decision. The allegations as i understand them involve Child Molestation and pedophilia, the most serious allegations in this instance of someone whos trying to be part of an exclusive governing
opportunity as a member of the United States senate. I think both Chuck Schumer and Mitch Mcconnell are correct in saying that if he were to be elected by the people of alabama, immediately an Ethics Investigation needs to be convened to look into these very serious charges. We appreciate you being with us. Thank you, poppy. Happy thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving to you as well.

Schaub had filed a complaint with the u. S. Office of special counsel to investigate this. Former white house ethics lawyer, richard painter, is out front with me. You know this law, it dates back to 1939. Did she break it . Oh yeah, this is a Slam Dunk Violation of the hatch act. The hatch act applies to every executive Branch Employee other than the president and the vice president. You are prohibited from in your official capacity using your official title endorsing a candidate or opposing a candidate in a partisan election. Shes standing there on the white house lawn in front of the white house. Shes obviously giving an official interview. The press corps hangs out there, waits for people to give official capacity interviews. She cant do that. If she wants to go in her personal capacity somewhere else without using her official title and she wants to endorse a racist or a pedophile or anyone
else for any position anywhere, she has a First Amendment right to do that as a private citizen. But not using her official title, not on the white house lawn. Thats a Slam Dunk Violation of the hatch act and the penalty is firing. He would not have tolerated that in the Bush White House when i was there. If someone had endorsed a candidate in that capacity in that location. If she were to be fired that would have to come from the president but the white house is responding tonight. Let me read it. They say ms. Conway did not advocate for or against the election of a candidate and specifically declined to encourage alabama voters to vote a certain way. Kellyanne conway went on twitter and she wrote what potus says below equals exactly what i said yesterday on fox friends. So theyre saying nothing to see here. Your Counter Argument is . Thats a flatout lie. We just heard her talking about doug jones. Doug jones is a democratic
candidate for that senate seat. She is trashing on the opposition candidate. That is taking sides in a partisan election. That is a violation but richard, this isnt the first time. Youll remember back in february when she was on the white house lawn again and she was talking about ivanka trump and she said, quote, buy ivankas stuff. Thats spurred a bipartisan letter from the leadership. Nothing happened. No disciplinary action. You say strike two. So then what . Well, its unfortunate that we have Repeat Problems with a number of people in this administration including Kellyanne Conway. Now, that first violation was of a separate position, office of government ethics regulation. I think it was very serious. I might have fired her for that or recommended firing her for that but thats a lot less serious than the hack act violation which is a statute going back to 1939. Its critically important that official position not be used to interfere in important elections. Thats a lot more important in our democracy than whether shes schilling for ivanka trump clothing on fox friends. This is serious business. Its a very serious offense. Richard painter, thank you for being with us. Have a great thanksgiving. Thank you, poppy. Outfront next, Puerto Ricans escaping their hurricane ravaged island, heading to florida.

Awe thee that jones is out front. Reporter Linda Gonzalez says starting her life over in florida is like being reborn as
an orphan. She was forced to leila res flee la res, puerto rico after the hurricane destroyed her home. Gonzalez says she lost everything over night. She and her son joined a wave of evacuees arriving in orlando three weeks ago. Some 170,000 Puerto Ricans landed in florida according to if you believes. While all of them may not put down roots here, many will. Some are comparing it from a boat lift in cuba when immigrants landed in South FloridaReshaping Toll Picks politics as a voter block. The and unlike cubans, Puerto Ricans, the vast majority who lean democratic are already citizens. They can vote right away as long as they register. Florida is a perennial swing
state, trump won here by just over 100,000 votes and barack obama won twice. Eight years of a flash finish and subsequent recount handed the vote to george w. Bush. That group can be pivotal in a swing state so their impact and effect on statewide elections vote for governor, u. S. Senate and of course for president , could be very dramatic. Reporter but Plig Science ProfessorMichael Mcdonald says white retirees from the northwest and northeast, many who deem puerto rican are likely pouring into the state. President trump toured the devastation with weeks after the hurricane. We spent a lot of punish on puerto rico and thats fine, we saved a lot of lives. Reporter gonzalez says the
federal government should have done more after maria and shes still hurt the the president said the people of puerto rico should do more to help themselves. It hurts, were human beings she told me.
