Trump Accusers Speak Out Again, and Alabama Senate Race Opens
Todd Johnson, Managing editor at The Grio, and Jack Hunter, editor for Rare Politics, discuss the accusations of sexual harassment and assault against President Trump, as his accusers speak out for the second time.
We talk whether the commander-in-chief will be held to the same standards as Rep. John Conyers and Sen. Al Franken, both of whom resigned last week.
