Mika had to suffer through a MAJOR bout of mansplaining from Joe this morning.

She sat there listening to him saying if HE had been assaulted by trump, HE would have come forward when Megan was confronted with the "wherever" comment, rather than when he told Cooper that he had never acted on those assault terms during the second debate.

He was questioning the timing of this newest wave of stories. Obviously he doesn't get how immediate and direct that lie of "I never have" would have struck those women in the gut...

Before the tape, these incidents might have been downplayed as misinterpretations of his intentions, exaggerations or attention seeking rather than serious violations.

But now these women who have nothing to gain are less afraid of retaliation since they are confirming exactly the behavior he already admitted was his modus operandi of moving in with unwanted assaults, taking advantage of his powerful status where he expected no repercussions
