The Young Turks 01.15.18: Trump Sh*thole Comment, Hawaii Missile Scare, Taxpayer Funded Sexual Harassment, and Eliza Dushku

A portion of our Young Turks Main Show from January 15th, 2018. For more go to http://www.tytnetwork.com/join. Hour 1: Cenk & Ana. Donald Trump has defended himself amid international outrage over offensive comments he is accused of making about some African, Central American and Caribbean countries, insisting: “I am not a racist.” The US president was condemned by the United Nations and the African Union (AU) after it was reported that he had referred to Haiti, El Salvador and nations in Africa as “shithole countries” during a White House meeting last week. As Trump headed to dinner at his golf club in Florida on Sunday, he was confronted by a reporter: “What do you say to people who say you’re a racist?” The president said: “No, no, I’m not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you.” Hour 2: Cenk & Ana. The Treasury Department has paid nearly $300,000 since 2003 to settle employment claims against House member offices that included allegations of sexual harassment or sex discrimination, according to a Washington Post tally of data provided by a House committee. Actress Eliza Dushku earlier today accused famed stunt coordinator Joel Kramer of sexually molesting her when she was 12 years old during filming of True Lies. Her claims, denied by Kramer, are being confirmed by Sue Booth-Forbes, who was Dushku’s legal guardian on the set of the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
