Former Vice President Kamala Harris told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow that she didn&#8217;t decide against choosing former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate because he is gay, but rather, she opted not to choose him as her running mate because he is gay.
Harris spoke with Maddow — who is openly gay — about her upcoming memoir &#8220;107 Days,&#8221; in which she said that she&#8217;d felt it would be difficult to win a race as a black woman if her running mate were gay. Saying that Buttigieg &#8220;would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man. But we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a black woman, a black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, &#8216;Screw it, let’s just do it.&#8217; But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.&#8221;
Maddow asked her about the passage, clearly a bit upset by the tone of the statement. &#8220;I guess I&#8217;d ask you to just elaborate on that a little bit &#8230; it&#8217;s hard to hear with you, the first woman elected vice president &#8230; to say that he couldn&#8217;t be on the ticket effectively because he was gay, is hard to hear.&#8221;

&#8220;My point is, as I write in the book, is that I was clear that in 107 days, in one of the most hotly contested elections for president against someone like Trump, who knows no floor,&#8221; Harris said, attempting to spin her argument as a move to protect Buttigieg from the obvious onslaught of attacks that would have come. &#8220;To be a black woman running for president, and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man. With the stakes being so high, it made me very sad. But I also realized it would be a real risk.&#8221;
Harris then attempted to use her record of supporting the LGBTQ community to redirect the conversation — and assure Maddow that her decision was not a personal one — saying, &#8220;You know, I&#8217;ve been an advocate and an ally of the LGBT community my entire life. So it wasn&#8217;t about any prejudice on my part, but we had such a short &#8230; we had such a short period of time. And the stakes were so high.&#8221;

MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace faced backlash online following President Donald Trump&#8217;s address to Congress on Tuesday night after they used an emotional moment with a young brain cancer survivor honored by the president to bash Trump.
The commentary from the far-left hosts came after Trump recognized 13-year-old Devarjaye &#8220;DJ&#8221; Daniel, who was in the gallery for the event and has always dreamed of being a police officer.
&#8220;In 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago.&#8221;
&#8220;Since that time, DJ and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true and DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer, actually a number of times. The police love him. The police departments love him,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;And tonight, DJ, we are going to do you the biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new Secret Service director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret Service.&#8221;
Maddow responded to the viral moment by calling it &#8220;disgusting.&#8221;
“For the record – and this is disgusting – the president made a spectacle out of praising a young man who’s thus far survived pediatric cancer – as if the president had something to do with that,” Maddow fumed.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Wallace used Daniel to attack Trump and said she hoped that he did not commit suicide.
“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide,” Wallace said.
“And I hope he isn’t one that has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people,” she continued.

SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly ripped MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Tuesday after the far-Left host criticized her network for firing Joy Reid this week.
Reid hosted the final episode of her failed show “The ReidOut” on Monday night where she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-sorry-tearful-joy-reid-claims-her-anti-trump-anti-israel-screeds-were-of-god" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended</a> her attacks on President Donald Trump and her anti-Israel screeds.
Maddow responded to Reid&#8217;s firing by saying it was “unnerving” that MSNBC canceled the primetime shows of “two non-white hosts.”
“And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them,” the 51-year-old host said. “That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.”
Kelly slammed Maddow for making herself the center of attention over Reid&#8217;s firing.
&#8220;She really is one of the most annoying people on television,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;She oozes sanctimony and self-righteousness, and here&#8217;s the real capper: She took her boss&#8217; faces and rubbed them in s*** last night. That&#8217;s what she did.&#8221;
Kelly called out Maddow&#8217;s bosses and asked if they had &#8220;any spines&#8221; or if they were going to just let Maddow trash the company.
&#8220;Mr. Lazarus, do you have any testosterone?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;Do you have any testicular fortitude to stand up for yourself as a professional, an executive, never mind a man, and tell this woman, &#8216;You&#8217;re fired, too. You&#8217;re fired for insubordination and for disparaging the network publicly in front of our four viewers. We&#8217;re very upset about what they must now think.&#8217; Why don&#8217;t you?&#8221;
&#8220;If one of my employees ever did this to me … I would fire them so fast,&#8221; she added. &#8220;She should be fired. They won&#8217;t fire her, because I won’t say the P word, but they are a bunch of Ps, and she&#8217;s the only one who comes close to putting numbers on the board. It&#8217;s all relative, trust me, but you know what she got away with on the air last night was absolutely disrespectful, and it was insubordinate, and it is just evidence of how she is somebody who evinces an affected or hypocritical holiness, a feeling or display of moral superiority.&#8221;

Rachel Maddow put MSNBC on blast on Monday for firing host Joy Reid, saying the decision was “very, very, very hard to take.”
It was announced on Sunday that Reid’s daily 7 p.m. show “The ReidOut” would end this month. Maddow announced that &#8220;The Rachel Maddow Show&#8221; would air only on Mondays after President Donald Trump&#8217;s first 100 days in office, but she went on to mention that some of her colleagues wouldn’t be on the air at all.

&#8220;I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn&#8217;t believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid,&#8221; Maddow said. 
&#8220;I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her,” she said. “I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call, and I understand that, but that&#8217;s what I think.&#8221;
Maddow said it was &#8220;unnerving&#8221; that MSNBC canceled primetime shows with &#8220;two non-white hosts.&#8221;
&#8220;And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them,&#8221; Maddow said. &#8220;That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it.&#8221;
The TV host failed to mention that “The ReidOut” time slot is being replaced by current weekend hosts Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. Two of these hosts are black, and one is Latina. 
Reid <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-not-sorry-tearful-joy-reid-claims-her-anti-trump-anti-israel-screeds-were-of-god">reacted</a> to the news during a podcast interview on Sunday, saying she was “not sorry” for some of the more controversial statements she’s made on the show, including statements on Black Lives Matter, immigration, Gaza, and criticism about President Trump. 
“And where I come down on that is, I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those things because those things are of God,” Reid said.

Rachel Maddow Slams MSNBC For Firing Joy Reid: ‘Indefensible’

Rachel Maddow Blasts MSNBC For Firing Joy Reid: 'Indefensible'

Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz got positively wild-eyed talking about President Donald Trump’s plans to freeze federal funds, in the process repeating the Left’s insistence that Elon Musk— whom Walz sarcastically called President Musk — gave a Nazi salute at Trump’s inaugural.
“Republicans always want to talk about cutting government, Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. “That’s in theoretically. They never want to be specific because we know that these programs are incredibly popular.”
“I would say Rachel, that it was cruel; they planned it,” Walz moaned. “Yes, it was somewhat buffoonish but I’m not quite certain that we’re reading that right. I think this is a case of that this is a trial balloon to see how much tolerance we had. &#8230; It’s like you caught someone and they stole everything out of your house and you caught ‘em and you told ‘em to put it back and when you start lookin’ some of it’s still gone.”
He attacked GOP governors, declaring, “They’re never gonna bring this the legal way because no Republican will vote for this. And the deafening silence of Republican governors, these are my colleagues, some of ‘em are my friends, but shame on you.”
“They want to destroy the federal government,” Walz insisted. “This buyout of employees, because now they’ve threatened them.”
“The resistance is strong, you’ve felt it,” Walz declared, getting wild-eyed. “Americans, lo and behold, like democracy and feeding their children.”
“You know that overused term, ‘The frog in the boiling water?’ We&#8217;ve been in the damn pot way too long,” Walz said. “I think it’s speaking up. It&#8217;s thinking about your neighbors. It&#8217;s writing and putting those members of Congress – look, there is no spine amongst those folks – but this is real.”
Walz mocked Republicans for resisting Democrats calls over the years to defund the police: “They’re talking about defunding the police, things that they’ve puffed their chests up and say they’re good with, making their case.”
“To the voters, I&#8217;m with this too. Everybody&#8217;s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz complained. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I&#8217;m, you know, soul-searching – what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they&#8217;re throwing so much at us that we&#8217;re fatigued.”
He then attacked Musk, saying, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/msnbc">MSNBC</a> host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rachel-maddow">Rachel Maddow</a> gave some post-<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election">election</a> analysis which indicated that she believes Americans have rejected democracy because they did not select her preferred presidential candidate.
“If this was an election that was not just a choice between two candidates, but a choice between keeping the American system of government or trading it in for a strong man authoritarian system instead, then the decisive result of this election gives us, not just an answer to the question as to what Americans want to do along those lines, it also gives us a really big to-do list as Americans,” she <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/rachel-maddows-post-trump-pep-talk-starts-with-our-fellow-americans-dont-want-multi-racial-pluralistic-democracy/">said</a>.
Maddow continued, “We now are just another one in the list of countries that has decided to, you know — ‘Hey, what the heck? Let’s try the strong man thing. Let’s let democracy go. Let’s put in an all-powerful guy instead. See how it goes.’” 
She went on to say other countries govern this way, and now America will too.
Maddow recommended that liberals – who she refers to as the half of the country who “want to keep our democracy” – should be “scrappy as hell” and function as a “thorn in the side to anyone who intends to turn this country into some tin pot tyranny.”
“The U.S. military needs to give the American people binding assurances that they will not deploy U.S. military force against the civilian population in this country. They can give those assurances, and now they should,” Maddow added. “The free press needs to give the people of this country assurances that they will not become state TV. That they will stand and fight together. They will put aside rivalries and petty professional differences.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
The MSNBC host ranted that the Constitution would come under attack with Republicans in charge, which Democrats should “actively resist.”  
Maddow recommends her followers should resist by joining other community members to create a “strong civil society,” which would help keep these power-hungry totalitarians at bay. 
“Hope you are feeling scrappy,” Maddow told her audience. “Hope you are tapping into your inner pirate energy, because it is one thing to be a defender of the realm. It is another thing to be in opposition. And opposition can be a lot of things. It can be dangerous, but can also be fun. Would have been nice to win the election. Didn’t? Okay? Time to save the country,&#8221; she concluded.

The ad on MSNBC was the latest troll from Walsh to promote his film.

“Am I Racist?” is the most successful release in DailyWire+ history, performing even better on its first day of streaming than previous hits including Matt Walsh’s 2022 documentary “What is a Woman?” and the comedy “Lady Ballers” in 2023.
Even before it headed to the DailyWire+ streaming platform, “Am I Racist?” was a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/am-i-racist-becomes-the-most-successful-launch-in-dailywire-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">huge success</a> as the company’s first theatrical release for an in-house production. It outperformed expectations at the box office, grossing more than $12 million and debuting in the top five films in the country on its opening weekend. “Am I Racist?” also became the top-grossing documentary of the decade. 
The film featured Walsh going undercover in the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to expose the grift of the race hustlers profiting off people’s emotions through deception.

Two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump over the weekend by demanding that journalists &#8220;have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is.&#8221;
Clinton made the remarks after authorities in Florida arrested 58-year-old Ryan Routh — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alleged-would-be-assassin-was-democrat-donor-with-criminal-record?topStoryPosition=4">a Democrat donor with a criminal history</a> that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/would-be-assassins-gun-had-filed-off-serial-number-was-banned-from-owning-guns">barred</a> him from owning firearms — on Sunday after he hid on Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gunman-targeting-trump-hid-on-golf-course-for-12-hours-before-secret-service-spotted-him-feds">12 hours</a> armed with an AK-17.
&#8220;And I don&#8217;t understand why it&#8217;s so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is,&#8221; Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016, lamented to far-Left MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.

Well, the object in this case, is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world. And stick with it.&#8221;

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the remarks by posting on X: &#8220;We look forward to every MSM journalist asking Kamala Harris if she denounces this violent rhetoric from Hillary Clinton less than 48 hours after President Trump almost got assassinated (for the second time) because of rhetoric like this.&#8221;
&#8220;This is evil,&#8221; added Trump campaign senior adviser Tim Murtaugh. &#8220;The day after Trump survived a second assassination attempt, Hillary Clinton is out trying to stir up a third one.&#8221;
International security professor Max Abrahms called Clinton&#8217;s remarks an example of &#8220;stochastic terrorism.&#8221;
&#8220;Hillary is the person most responsible for the Russia collusion hoax which did more to discredit America’s main institutions (media, intel agencies, Congressional committees) than anything else,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If not going to be president, she was going to burn America down.&#8221;:
X owner Elon Musk said that Clinton&#8217;s remarks were &#8220;troubling.&#8221;
Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller posted on X: &#8220;This rhetoric is reprehensible. It is dangerous, reckless, vile, demented and unhinged.&#8221;

MSNBC anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rachel-maddow">Rachel Maddow</a> sang President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>’s praises for taking himself out of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election">2024 race</a> after facing pressure from donors and Democratic Party members.
The political commentator acknowledged that she didn’t think the Democrats could win if Biden stayed on the ticket.
“What a man!” Maddow said shortly after Biden announced his decision to withdraw on Sunday. “What a patriot! What an act of selfless devotion to your country.”
The MSNBC host went on to gush about Biden&#8217;s accomplishments as president. She also said his stepping down was an act of &#8220;service and sacrifice to this country&#8221; because it gave someone else the chance to beat Republican nominee Donald Trump in November.

“Him making this decision today is to give the country a chance,” Maddow continued. “A reasonable chance at not putting Donald Trump back in the White House. Not putting a president back in the White House who refused to leave the last time and summoned an angry mob to try to overthrow the government rather than go. This is Joe Biden saying, ‘Apparently it’s not me, the one that gives us the best chance to do that. It’s got to be somebody else. And so I will step aside.&#8217;”
The commentator went on to explain that she believed keeping Biden would have given Democrats no shot of winning, especially considering his disastrous debate performance.
“The Democratic Party was in really bad shape with the concerns about the enfeebled public appearance of the president,” Maddow said. 
“And that debate, shook people not only because it was one bad performance, but because it underscored, reified, and validated some niggling concerns that people had had about the president’s age, and his health and his capacity. And it absolutely split the Democratic Party into a million different pieces. And with that status of the Democratic Party heading into November, I think that alone would have meant that the Democrats had essentially zero chance.”
Shortly after Biden announced he had dropped out of the race, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee. But former President Barack Obama notably did not endorse Harris, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obama-does-not-endorse-kamala-harris-for-president-we-will-be-navigating-uncharted-waters?itm_source=parsely-api">saying</a> that the party “will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead.”

MSNBC anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rachel-maddow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Maddow</a> and ABC’s “The View” host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-behar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> predicted on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump, if reelected in November, would take them off the air.
The two liberal hosts, during Tuesday’s broadcast of Behar’s midday talk show, posited that Trump would use any tool at his disposal to punish his critics — which both of them agreed they were.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“So you said recently that you thought you, as an outspoken critic, could be a target yourself,” Behar prompted Maddow. “Some people think that sounds overdramatic, but I’m right there with you.”
“I think that he is so vindictive that he will go after [us], however he has to, through the IRS maybe, or even through sponsors, to get us off the air maybe, or you.”
Behar asked Maddow to elaborate on her previous comments — she had told CNN last week that she believed Trump planned to build camps and put people in them.

”I’m worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people and to ‘root out’ what he’s described in subhuman terms as his ‘enemy from within,’” Maddow said on CNN.
She went on to tell Behar that she was worried for herself, but no more than she worried about anyone else who might be critical of Trump.
“I think it’s bad,” Maddow continued, claiming that Trump had “asked” for as much power as possible and had promised to use it against Americans once he had it.
Maddow also claimed during her appearance that Trump was not actually running against incumbent President Joe Biden, but rather, he was “running against democracy.”

Joy Behar, Rachel Maddow Predict Trump Will Take Them Off The Air If He Wins

Joy Behar

MSNBC host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rachel-maddow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel Maddow</a> suggested that she is concerned about people being sent to &#8220;massive camps&#8221; if former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> is re-elected to the White House.
The comment appeared in the <a href="https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/17180689648915db6bf99ae4f/raw?utm_term=17180689[%E2%80%A6]JLMwyXHokbBzhPmX61BQlEmV%2B0xg%3D%3D&amp;bt_ts=1718068964894" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; newsletter</a> on CNN reporter Oliver Darcy&#8217;s email conversation with Maddow. They were discussing the new season of her &#8220;Ultra&#8221; podcast and the 2024 campaign in which President Joe Biden is poised to face Trump in a rematch of their 2020 face-off.
&#8220;Trump and his allies are openly talking about weaponizing the government to seek revenge against critics in media and politics, with some of his extremist allies even talking about jailing their fellow Americans. You&#8217;re one of his most notable critics on television. Are you worried that you could be a target?&#8221; Darcy asked.
In response, Maddow alluded to comments Trump made in a Veterans Day speech last year in which he said <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/12/trump-rally-vermin-political-opponents/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">political rivals on the Left &#8220;live like vermin&#8221;</a> and his former adviser, Stephen Miller, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/11/us/politics/trump-2025-immigration-agenda.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telling The New York Times</a> that Trump might use detention camps for migrants in a second term.
&#8220;I&#8217;m worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to &#8216;root out&#8217; what he’s described in subhuman terms as his &#8216;enemy from within,'&#8221; Maddow said. &#8220;Again, history is helpful here. He’s not joking when he says this stuff.&#8221;
Maddow suggested there is a historical context to consider, asserting that &#8220;we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda.&#8221; She warned of a &#8220;head-in-the-sand complacency&#8221; by people who believe Trump is only interested in going after &#8220;well-known liberals&#8221; and stopping there.
&#8220;When Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military against civilians on his first day in office, do you think he then rescinds the order on day two?&#8221; she said, referring to Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-2025-second-term.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported desire</a> to use soldiers to help secure the southern border and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/05/trump-revenge-second-term/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crack down on civil unrest</a>.

&#8220;For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants?&#8221; Maddow continued as she concluded her response to Darcy&#8217;s question. &#8220;So, yes, I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us.&#8221;
Maddow&#8217;s stated fear about a second Trump term and the possibility of him using detention camps against his political opponents, an idea that she previously <a href="https://thehill.com/media/312925-maddow-asks-if-trump-will-send-her-to-a-camp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised</a> before he took office in 2016, prompted some backlash on social media.
&#8220;What is more likely if Trump wins: Rachel Maddow gets sent to a concentration camp or&#8230;.She makes another 100 million dollars peddling a BS Conspiracy theory?&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/esaagar/status/1800530880165007865" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> &#8220;Breaking Points&#8221; co-host Saagar Enjeti.

‘Worried’ Rachel Maddow Frets Over Idea Of Trump Sending People To ‘Massive Camps’

'Worried' Rachel Maddow Frets Idea Of Trump Sending People To 'Massive Camps'

E. Jean Carroll unleashed a string of wild boasts, predicting all the things she might do to benefit &#8220;women&#8217;s rights&#8221; with the nearly $84 million judgment that she was awarded in the defamation trial against former President Donald Trump.
Carroll laughed through her recent MSNBC appearance on Monday as she suggested new wardrobes, new shoes, and even a penthouse for host Rachel Maddow — among a number of other lavish gifts and expenditures — all while her attorney, looking increasingly uncomfortable waved her off: &#8220;That&#8217;s a joke.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Maddow kicked off the exchange by recalling a previous statement from Carroll, in which she had promised to do something with &#8220;Trump&#8217;s money&#8221; to benefit women&#8217;s rights — and then she asked Carroll if she had any firm plans with that regard and to describe what that might look like.
&#8220;Yes, Rachel!&#8221; Carroll replied, clearly excited. &#8220;I have such — I have such great ideas for all the good I&#8217;m going to do with this money.&#8221;

&#8220;First thing, Rachel, you and I are going to go shopping,&#8221; she continued in exaggerated tones, getting laughs from her attorneys and Maddow. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to get completely new wardrobes, new shoes, motorcycle for [Attorney Shawn] Crowley, new fishing rod for [Attorney Roberta Kaplan] — Rachel, what do you want? Penthouse? It&#8217;s yours!&#8221;
Maddow continued to laugh, and Carroll kept going: &#8220;Penthouse &#8230; France? You want France? You want to go fishing in France? No? Oh, all right.&#8221;
Maddow shook her head, still laughing, and one of Carroll&#8217;s attorneys jumped in quickly to clarify: &#8220;That&#8217;s a joke.&#8221;
&#8220;Although, if me fishing in France could do something for women&#8217;s rights, I would take the hit,&#8221; Maddow replied. &#8220;I&#8217;d take one for the team.&#8221;
