RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “And due process. I’m concerned about women who are legitimately sexually harassed in the workplace across America and where this is taking us. Ruth Marcus says it one way. She tackles the issue in her “Washington Post” column and says was Al Franken’s punishment fair? She writes, in part, this. There’s no doubt that the case of Al Franken, Democrats are better off with the Minnesota senator gone. There’s more doubt about whether justice was done. The political calculus is simple. Franken had to go. With the grotesque picture of him groping or pretending to grope the breasts of a fellow USO performer, he would have been a nonstop distraction, muddling Democrats’ case against alleged groper President Trump and alleged child molester Roy Moore. Franken paid not only for their sins but also for the alleged behavior of Bill Clinton two decades ago. People who say Susan is just — the dress owned by Monica Lewinsky, I would think, would bring down a president but it didn’t. I’m surprised that you think a picture of a performer — I see some politic there is but I haven’t brought that up every step of the way because, of course, in this me too environment, you must always just believe the women. And I think that there’s a lot of reasons why we need to look at the women seriously and believe them and, in many cases — like, for example, I spoke to accusers in mark Halperin, in which he admits a lot of what he’s accused of doing. I’ve spoken to them, I believe them. I’m just wondering if all women need to be believed. I’m concerned we’re being the judge, jury, cops here and so did Senate Democrats getting ahead of their skis and, trust me, Kristen gillebrand I want you to run for president but you’ve got to keep it real.”
