Watch: MSNBC's Mika quickly clarifies guest's comment about Trump being a 'rapist'
Following a long interview with NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the camera quickly cut to co-host Mika Brzezinski who issued a disclaimer on one comment her guest had just made.
While discussing the influence of billionaires are having on Donald Trump, and vice-versa, Galloway mentioned in passing, "And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation’s history, a 30-year-old man or woman isn’t doing as well as his or his or her parents were at thirty."

No sooner had Galloway finished speaking with Joe Scarborough than Brzezinski appeared on-screen and read a statement.
"Great conversation," she began. "I want to make a comment about a word that was used in this interview. Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found libel of sexual abuse, not rape. But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse."
Brzezinski's disclaimer comes on the heels of a highly controversial $15 million settlement made by ABC after being sued by the president-elect for similar comments made by host George Stephanopoulos.
