why not resign right away? he said there have been so many allegations, i don t know what all is going on. but he didn t but he didn t deny anything. he didn t deny it. so that s the chilling part is that he didn t deny anything. should a member of congress know what sexual misconduct allegations are being portrayed against them? oh, he knows. the question is why is he just retiring and not quitting? why isn t he being pushed out? what s the point of him saying he s going to step down eventually but not now. it turns the heat down now and he can stick around a little longer. you think he s not going to get chased every day on capitol hill. this is what tim murphy tried to do. and 48 hours later, tim murphy was out. same with conyers. the initial messaging out of conyers office was he was going to retire in 2018 and he s retiring now. go ahead. but in that instance, house
minority leader nancy pelosi speaker ryan doesn t like to slit throats. nancy pelosi slit a throat when she needed to. garrett? democrats pushed out conyers and al franken. members of their own party were willing to be the ones to cut t the throats if we re going to extend that metaphor. republicans have not moved in the same way to discipline their own membership on this. garrett haake, tim alberta. i m going to ask robert to stick around. until this week, the most prominent african-american in the white house, inside the west wing resigning. now that omarosa is out, she is hinting she may be ready to tell all about her time there. but as we head to break, not everyone is impressed. she says she has a story to tell. i m sure she ll be selling that story. yeah, she will. i m fully sure. when it s finally sunday
a good night for democrats surpriseed to win that seat. a rejection of trumpism in alabama, are you trying to sell that? well, there are some credible allegations against this guy. i think sex offender is not a trait any party should look for in a candidate. someone else who had multiple serious allegations of sex offenses against them ran in 2020 would also have trouble with the reelection. laura: trump? of course. laura: al franken is out of the way and will resign. it looks like it. laura: conyers is out of the way. there will be probably are other revelations. more democrats than republicans. you think that the nation will just rally to the old allegations and say, okay, let s relitigate what we heard in october of 2016. the economy is booming and things are looking up but get
race. imagine what they are going to do with roy moore. i believe they are going to use roy moore as the face of the republican party and threaten the majorities in the house and in the senate. and donald trump is going to have a hell of a time governing down the road for the next seven years if he loses control of both chambers as a result of roy moore being the face of the party which is exactly what the democrat. sean: 76% chance according to the new york times right now that he doesn t win. well, if he doesn t win, that s a whole different ballgame, they will still nail all the people who supported him. who ignored in his view. sean: al franken and conyers and menendez and tammy? jackie spears says there are 260 settlements in slush fund sexual harassment racial discrimination. if those are all individual cases half of congress, a quarter or a third of congress? this is mitch mcconnell, who knows? is he on that list? we don t know. there is no transparency.
important because if you look at the allegations that took down franken and franks and the rest, and conyers, they re very similar to the allegations against the president of the united states. i mean, particularly with respect to al franken in which it was explicitly an employment relationship like it was with conyers, in which it was two instances maybe more of unwanted kissing, groping. those are almost apples for apples similar to what has now been said about donald trump. clearly, if those were allegations made in the private corporate sector, as we ve seen across the board over the last several weeks, he would be out on his petard. that s really clear. i think it s important for these democratic senators to come out and make their voices heard. and for these women to continue to tell their stories and tell them collectively to remind us that the president of the united states engaged in inappropriate behavior with at least 19 women who have made these allegations in public.
