In the past year,
we've seen so many powerful men
finally being held accountable
for abusing women.
And it shows no signs
of stopping.
I mean, who knows, they might
even get R. Kelly this year.
Yeah. You realize
he's been uncatchable for years.
He's, like, #MeToo's Bin Laden.
(laughter, groaning)
Meanwhile, just last night,
another big name was exposed.
NEWSWOMAN: New York's attorney
 general, Eric Schneiderman,
 abruptly resigning three hours
 after The New Yorker published
 an article detailing
 abuse allegations
 from four different women.
Allegations of physical
and verbal abuse--
slapping, strangling--
to the point, two women say,
they had to go to the hospital.
 Tanya Selvaratnam telling
 The New Yorker
 that the former
 attorney general...
You know, I thought
I had heard it all...
but this guy?
He's, like, the one guy they
 wouldn't let into Westworld.
They'd be like,
"We do some crazy shit here,
but you're a freak, man."
But the reason the story
is getting so much attention
is that Eric Schneiderman
isn't just
 the New York attorney general,
he's a national figure now.
Because he's one
of the biggest opponents
of President Trump's agenda.
He sued Trump over DACA,
the Muslim ban,
birth control coverage.
He was making it rain lawsuits
all over Trump.
The whole time he's just like,
"Summons, summons, summons,
summons, summons."
And more than all of that,
this is a huge story,
because Schneiderman
presented himself
as an advocate for women.
In recent months we've begun
a long overdue reckoning
with our culture
of violence and silence.
We have never seen anything
as despicable
as what we've seen here.
A pervasive pattern
of sexual harassment,
intimidation,
discrimination and abuse
at the Weinstein Company.
If a woman does not have the
right to control her own body
she is not truly equal.
Are we ready to fight against
male supremacy in all its forms?
(to tune of "You're So Vain"):
♪ I bet you think this speech ♪
♪ Is about you. ♪
So it seems this guy was trying
to put Harvey Weinstein in jail
while he was
abusing women himself.
This is like finding out
Robert Mueller
has been taking secret vacations
with Putin.
Putin's like, (mimics Putin):
"I wish everyone knew
"the Mueller I know.
"He's different,
different person.
He be best.”
(normal voice):
By the way, um...
This is, like,
a weird part of the story,
but this story was broken
yesterday evening
by Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow,
right?
And by coincidence, Ronan Farrow
was our guest last night.
And before taping, I'm chilling
in the greenroom with him.
You know, getting ready
to do the show.
And he says, "Oh, I'm just
finishing up a piece.
Uh, I'm just gonna
send this out."
I had no idea he was ending
an attorney general's career
over our Wi-Fi.
(laughter)
And since I pay for the Wi-Fi,
I'd like to think
that I did my part.
I, uh...
I really think I did.
-Thank you. Thank you very much.
-(cheers and applause)
No, seriously, though,
I wasn't involved,
but Ronan Farrow's reporting
on sexual harassment
has helped expose
so many powerful men.
It must be terrifying
to be a dude and get
a call from him.
'Cause when he's on the phone
you think, like, it's over now.
I bet he can't even order pizza.
It'd be like,
"This is Ronan Farrow."
(screams) Bah.
So for more
on this insane issue,
I'm joined by our very own
Dulcé Sloan, everybody.
-Hello.
-(cheers and applause)
-Dulcé.
-Hello.
I-I would love to know, like,
what do you think
about these allegations
of beating and choking?
What do I think?
I think this guy's
Christian Grey,
only without the looks,
without the money,
without the consent.
Actually, this is nothing like
 Fifty Shades of Grey.
That movie's sexy as hell.
And Dulcé, you know what makes
this especially upsetting,
is that in public
he was a champion for women,
-and in private we find out
-Mm-hmm.
that he might be a monster.
Yeah, he sounds like a monster,
but in a way, he's still
a champion for women.
TV REPORTER: In 2016,
 his office published
 a "Know Your Rights" brochure
 for victims
 of domestic violence.
 And in 2010, when he was a
 state senator for Manhattan,
 he introduced a bill to make
 intentional strangulation
 a violent felony.
See? He pushed for tougher laws
that are gonna make it easier
for us to throw his ass in jail.
Thank you.
(cheers and applause)
I wish every abuser would build
a Wile E. Coyote trap
for themselves.
Like if R. Kelly sang a song
about kidnapping.
♪ It's a remix to ignition ♪
♪ Time to put me in prison. ♪
Ah.
And do you know
what made me even madder?
It's the details
of these allegations.
Did you hear he was role-playing
with a
Sri Lankan-American woman,
calling her his brown slave?
You know,
I-I know a lot of people
are really offended
by that detail.
As they should be, Trevor.
If he wanted to role-play
with a slave,
why didn't he cast
a black woman?
Do you know how hard it is
for us to get roles?
I mean, I know I could play
a slave... house, at least.
-I mean, come on.
-Dulcé, whoa.
You can't be serious.
No, no, no.
I'm joking.
But if I did do
slavery role-play,
I'd do it Django style,
you know what I mean?
Like, he start out
all confident,
and then we'd see
who's whipping who.
Dulcé Sloan , everybody.
