Scarborough Battles Granholm on Albright’s Special Place in Hell Comment

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCARBOROUGH: "No, no, no. No, no. She actually said on national television and said that young women —"
BRZEZINSKI: "She apologized on Facebook."
GRANHOLM: "She came back and apologized."
SCARBOROUGH: "-- Young women who supported Sanders did so to pick up men.
BRZEZINSKI: "She said she misspoke."
SCARBOROUGH: "And I do wonder if there is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women. Where are these women in 1998 when a young 22-year-old intern was taken advantage of in the oval office and on top of that --"
BRZEZINSKI: "Wow. That was fantastic."
SCARBOROUGH: "Gloria Steinem wrote an op-ed in the “New York Times” in 1998 eviscerating Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen willey and all these other people. So, yes, I say come on. When do you say there’s a special place in hell if you don’t support women?"
BRZEZINSKI: "You don’t say it anymore."
SCARBOROUGH: "Is it only powerful women? Is there a special place in hell for not supporting powerful women or 22-year-old women being taken advantage of in the oval office not worthy of that same support? How do they have the audacity to say this? They stumbled into this trap be Donald Trump."
BRZEZINSKI: "Because they don’t know what decade it is."
SCARBOROUGH: "Why don’t they stop?"
GRANHOLM: "Okay. So Madeleine Albright, as you noted, has been saying that line for a super long time."
BRZEZINSKI: "For years, it’s old. It’s got to stop, we get it. We’re here for each other."
SCARBOROUGH: "Stop insulting young women because they’re supporting Bernie Sanders."
GRANHOLM: "But isn’t this exactly what you worked for all the time, right?"
BRZEZINSKI: "No, actually, Jennifer, I work for reality. I work for women actually —"
GRANHOLM: "Supporting for one another, to be supportive of one another."
BRZEZINSKI: "So if you don’t vote for Hillary Clinton there’s a special place in hell for you? Are you kidding me? That was the implication."
GRANHOLM: "No, the implication is that that’s a line she’s been saying for years and she says it with humor."
SCARBOROUGH: "I didn’t see the punch line there."
GRANHOLM: "Did you see everybody laughing? She laughs when she says it? She’s —"
BRZEZINSKI: "A special place in hell, Hillary Clinton has the —"
GRANHOLM: "I’m not defending the line."
SCARBOROUGH: "Why don’t you just say they should haven’t said that. Can you do that? Can you say this was a mistake."
GRANHOLM: "It was a mistake."
SCARBOROUGH: "Okay."
GRANHOLM: "And Gloria Steinem said it was a mistake, too. The question is — and it’s an interesting question, is this generational difference among democratic women."
SCARBOROUGH: "So why is that?"
GRANHOLM: "Women of our generation, we feel we’ve worked all our lives to have this moment where we go into the voting booth and pull the lever for the most qualified person to ever run for president in our lifetime — [ cheers and applause ] And she shares our values and she’s a woman. It’s the trifecta. [ Cheers and applause ] So let me finish the second part of it. So our daughters — we have done this for our daughters and so that generation feels like “I’m not going to vote for somebody because of their gender.” Whereas my generation feels like you don’t do it because of their gender, I wouldn’t advocate voting for Sarah Palin but she shares your values and she’s qualified and she happens to be a woman and therefore she will lead in a different way and that’s really great."
BRZEZINSKI: "It came off wrong."
GRANHOLM: "I get that. I get that."
BRZEZINSKI: "I’m going to leave it there."
SCARBOROUGH: "What I will say is, and we need to let Chris in, but we’ve got to go to break and then Chris can talk later. Right now younger women — we’ll go here and they’ll scream at my in my ear for not going to break. Younger women are voting for Bernie Sanders by a 2-1 margin. Hillary Clinton is getting absolutely swamped. Bill Clinton’s approval ratings, the “New York Times” reports, since this campaign began, since there was this scrap with Donald Trump, has dropped from 51 percent to 39 percent. There are a lot of younger women who are very concerned about what happened during the 1990s and it’s showing up in the polling."
JANSING: "A lot of women of a certain generation, Jennifer and mine and Mika’s generation who are not Gloria steinem and who are not Madeleine Albright see this as a lack of appreciation and a lock of understanding of what has come before them in the very recent history. And it’s interesting to me that a number of women have said to me that what young women have said to them is “I don’t get why she looks at being a mother and a grandmother as an accomplishment. Why does she have to tell us she’s a grandmother?” And there’s an interesting dynamic that’s going on between women who are in their 50s and 60s and women in their 20s and just this feeling that I — I don’t want to say that they’re articulating that, but I hear a lot and I hear from a lot of women who are in the political process that that file this."
BRZEZINSKI: "To your point, had there been no Monica maybe the line of Madeleine Albright would have worked but it was and those women are voting today. Jennifer Granholm, bill kristol, Chris Jansing, thanks."
