Survivors tell me they were afraid to tell their story to speak their truth because they didn t know if they would be believed or if they would be blamed for what they suffer. do you agree with rob porter s ex-wife that the president is essentially calling her a liar? yes. because he s done that in almost every major case where he s commented on abuse. he has defaulted to the accused. moore, bill o reilly, himself, kelly ann conway this morning on the sunday show said he wants to consider all sides. look, when you have credible evidence much police reports, contemporaneous accounts from witnesses or people that these victims told, and fbi background check investigations, a photograph of a black eye, to me, the restraining order, these ....
Publicly, this needs to be accountability on the part of kelly and the reporting says that perhaps he might be on the way out the door. i do want to bring in a quote that i think is, you know, hopefully is silver lining in this from one of the victims of larry nassar, the u.s. gymnastics coach, and said, i hope you feel the soul crushing guilt of what you have done, and i hope that rob porter feels the soul crushing guilt of what she s done, but she said she d pray for him to find grace, hope, and mercy. i think in this situation, that s all that we can do as well is pray that all the victims in the situation will find that, but that rob porterinport eer, finds that as well, feels the soul crushing guilt of what he s done, but he ll also i don t believe anyone is ir redeemable, and i believe he could find a way to redeem himself, but it will take a long time, and he s not come to terms with his guilt. this is not a partisan issue, ....
it does happen. that s the exception. that s not the rule. we should not be using that as an excuse to excuse away someone s like rob porter or judge moore or anybody else. here s the other thing, you talked about the evidence there was in this case. overwhelming. that would be very easy to say we believe the women, but, i mean, even just the issue on its face, why is it difficult for the president to say, there is no place for domestic violence in this white house? exactly. i mean, this is the kind of situation where you really don t have any other choice other than to kind of hit it out of the park on this, right? all you have to say is a baseline of, we don t condone this behavior, and, you know, it s not surprising coming from this president because as you laid out, there have been several incidences as a candidate, as a president where this has happened, but to come out and say those things that he did in the white house, not even ....
News today. i have faith in him. and he does. you know, we all serve for the pleasure of the president. and it is a privilege and a blessing and nothing short of it to be there every single day to serve the country we all love. and anyone who doesn t feel that way shouldn t be there. i ll say this. he says general kelly is doing a great job and that he has full faith in him, and i think he looks at the full measure of all of us. all right, all of this as we re learning new details about who knew about the allegations that white house staff secretary rob porter beat his wife and when. this morning axio reports that porter was encouraged to stay and fight and claims he, quote, never misrepresented anything that was his quote to the chief of staff. just last week kelly defended him, though reports reveal that kelly learned about the abuse allegations from two of porter s ex-wives back in november. here to discuss, cnn presidential historian tim ....
Porter s ex-wife, spoke to time magazine today and writes, the words mere allegation and falsely accused mean to imply i m a liar, that holderness is a liar, and the work that rob was doing in the white house was of higher value than our well being, and his contributions are worth more than the truth, that abuse is something to be questioned and doubted. now, she goes on, ultimately, this is not a political issue. this is a societal issue, and the tone has just been reset by the white house. if the most powerful people in the nation do not believe my story of abuse in the face of overwhelming evidence, then what hope do others have to be heard? let s discuss with conserve commentator, and our national political reporter, and, i want to start you understand you actually know people who are involved in this story. what can you tell us about rob ....
