Mika Brzezinski, co-host of the “Morning Joe,” took a moment on the Wednesday morning edition of the program to act like she’s a legitimate journalist and correct a New York University professor, Scott Galloway, who called President-elect Donald Trump a “rapist” during an interview. One has to wonder if this is because the network, which is slumming it when it comes to the ratings, is looking to revamp their image from being a cesspool of liberal bias to a more objective source of news, following the spanking the mainstream media received from Americans during the election?
During the conversation with a panel, Galloway made accusations of rape against the president-elect due to a ruling from a May 2023 case where a jury found Trump to be liable for sexually assaulting and defaming former Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. She ended up being awarded a total of $83.3 million in damages. All that for likely telling whoppers. I’m in the wrong business.
Following Galloway’s segment, Brzezinski immediately clarified that Trump had not been found liable of rape, but that his liability was officially called “sexual abuse.”
“They are targeting the wealthy,” Galloway remarked during the interview. “We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality. And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation’s history, a 30 year old man or woman isn’t doing as well as his or his or her parents were at thirty. Why? Because the majority of households are having the oxygen sucked out of the room such that a small number of individuals and a small number of companies can be worth more than nation states. Income inequality is out of control. Our tax policy has gone full oligarch.”
“Great conversation,” Brzezinski stated after Galloway’s appearance. “I want to make a comment though just about a word that was used in this interview. Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found liable of sexual abuse, not rape. But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse.”
Trump sued longtime ABC News host George Stephanopoulos in March for stating that two juries found the now-president-elect “liable for rape” during a March 10 segment on “This Week.” ABC News and Stephanopoulos agreed in a Dec. 14 settlement to pay Trump $15 million by Dec. 24, 2024, as a “charitable contribution” towards a future “[p]residential foundation and museum,” while both defendants were ordered to pay $1 million in attorney’s fees to the president-elect’s counsel.
The U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Florida ordered the network to add an editor’s note to a March 10, 2024 article stating, “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with [Republican South Carolina] Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024.”
On a recent episode of the worst daytime talk show ever produced, “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, bless her heart, said that every member that Trump chose for his cabinet had a sexual misconduct allegation against them, despite having zero evidence of that statement being true. Again, God bless the woman. Maybe it’s time she retire to the old folks home.
