Jesus, they can’t even deflect properly!... Sounds like he was going for the ol’ “Well, in YOUR country, they marry multiple ten-year-olds, so Leave Roy Alone!” block, but failed.

Garmin did kind of stammer before his response after Ruhle said “Ali’s from Canada”. I suspect he didn’t do his homework beforehand and just assumed he was one from “one of them terrorist countries”

I bet my ass that this asshole also thinks that Islamic faith should be banned in the US and any immigrant should abandon the culture of his native country and conforms to Western culture. The hypocrisy is stunning...

I tried to read that letter, but it hurt my brain.

I am still watching this interview (keep pausing the dvr to answer comments). This asshole just tried to make a point defending older men with girls (after hearing the clip of Moore saying he always “asked their mothers”) as acceptable in other cultures BY SAYING TO ALI VELSHI (who’s from Toronto), “well I just looked…

This! So often liberals are accused of eating our own, but actually we just demand a certain level of accountability - which includes having people we admire admit when they stuff up, especially when they do it very, very badly, and explain what steps they’re taking so it never happens again.

The whole “I feel really badly that she didn’t feel like the process worked” non-apology is not enough in this day and age. Has he thoroughly examined his part in the hearing that led to the process not working for her, not just what she felt? I expect better from him.

Yeah, if he wasn’t all touchy feely around women. It’s like he never really understood what it was about.

HRC had an 88% approval rating, which was just unheard of.

I am too, but I really wish he had said, look I learned a lot from the Hill hearings, I think many of us did. If I had known then what I know now they would have looked differently. I made mistakes and have learned from them and tried to be better.

This is why I don’t want anyone on the Democratic side who is over 65 years old to run for president. I don’t care who they are and this includes Elizabeth Warren. Joe has way too much baggage and needs to become a senior states person, not a candidate.

Really? You can’t fathom any possible reason why behavior that is acceptable within the context of the kink-community might not be automatically appropriate in the context of a professional relationship?

The thing is that even if the two of them were totally fine with his proposal, this is behavior that shouldn’t exist in any workplace. Even on a porn movie set, if that’s not what you’re paid for, keep your innapropriate offers to yourself.

Asking your colleague if you can masturbate in front of her isn’t “expressing sexual interest”, it is abuse. Fuck off with your verbose bullshit, you know exactly what’s going on here.

But surely whether or not a person is receptive to sexual advances is not the metric as to whether or not they are appropriate.

Met my husband when he was a resident and I was a medical student. He was my supervisor, but very briefly (for a week or so).

1. He decided it was a good idea to masturbate at work. Incredibly inappropriate and it creates a terrible envrionment for, you know, the people who don’t wish to see/hear him masturbate while they try to go about their jobs.

Here’s the full paragraph:

Crazy how much people overthink how complicated this all is.

He asked a person who answered to him at work to watch him masturbate. There are about five things wrong with that, right there. If you can’t see them, then maybe you really should go and read a sexual harassment handbook.
