distraction, she didn t want democrats tarred with anthony weiner for the midterm elections and beyond. now you ve got this cloud of suspicion hanging over members of congress largely because, one, the momentum of this me too movement that is actually happening. it didn t begin two weeks at the me too movement. you have jackie speier and barbara comstock saying people on both sides of the aisle had this problem on capitol hill. we haven t heard confirmation that either al franken or john conyers was one of those particular individuals. you ve got this cloud of suspicion that is hanging. you also have the roy moore issue and also have president trump s issues because he s been accused of a lot of vile conduct as well. so if you are to acknowledge that one should go without hesitation and yet you don t for the same people in your party, your hypocrisy is too much. all right. thanks one and all for being here. a royal engagement. prince harry opens up about what he believes his moth
ago, they call her pocahontas, but you know what? i like you because you are special. pocahontas is a slur that the president has long used to refer to democratic senator elizabeth warren. who has controversially claimed native american ancestry. here is how senator warren responded to that remark just seconds after. it is deeply unfortunate that the president of the united states cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring those heros without having to throw out a racial slur. look, donald trump does this over and over, thinking somehow he s going to shut me up with it. it hadn t worked in the past. it is not going to work in the future. so all of that while at the same time a power strugglie erupted of who runs a government agency, the consumer financial protection bureau. we expect to hear from both democrats and republicans in this grim, dysfunctional
