Nancy Erika Smith: “How Dare He Call These Victims Of Sexual Harassment Liars? That Empowers Every Harasser Out There”
April 7, 2017NEW YORK (MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle) — Lawyer For Victims Of Fox Harassment: Trump Is Empowering Harassers
KATE SNOW (HOST): Nancy is president and founder of the law firm Smith Mullen. She also represents former Fox anchor Gretchen Carlson who we just saw and Julie Roginsky who has a pending lawsuit against Fox News and Roger Ailes. Also with us, Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women. I love that we have three really powerful women to talk to. Nancy, let me start with you. You had very strong words today for the president of the United States. Why are you so angry?
NANCY ERIKA SMITH: Because he wasn’t in the room when it happened. And how dare he call these victims of sexual harassment liars? That empowers every harasser out there. It empowers every troll out there. Women are tired of being silenced. It is another way to silence us when we’re abused. Call us liars, call us sluts, call us nuts, call us money grubbers, gold diggers. This is all a way that they shut us up when they do the wrong thing.
