the ukrainians i think we bring in our guest card wilcox who's a professor of government at georgetown university joins us live from washington d.c. thanks very much indeed for watching all of this with us what's your impression of how the hearing has gone on this on this 3rd day of the hymns. well so i think this afternoon what the republicans have tried to do is create some doubt enter into the facts but more importantly to offer an alternative explanation and that is that the. the president was really concerned about corruption because he was getting a bad information feed from giuliani as soon as he found out that the new government was really going to address corruption then he lifted the aid and so that's i think the major takeaway these 2 witnesses were not great for the president both of them and sinking feelings in their stomach they both of them expressed grave reservations about some of the linkages but i think that's the republican strategy right now so i mean do you think that the impression that focus for trade of a situation where he was he was kind of slightly out of the loop in t

this victim now has an incredibly great fellowship at georgetown university.ut we are supposed to feel what tonight? >> right well this patronizing attitude entity and centralization of this witness was really quinn dome i cringeworthy to me as a women. we fought hard to be in a situation where women are investors and judges and are at every level and yet i expected brett butler to come out there and do something dastardly with a tone that adam schiff was taking with this witness and the focus group so it was equally offensive when adam schiff discriminated against elise stefanik but we don't need to patronize and talked on in either direction. >> laura: no. at "the washington post" started today that the hearing was a moment of reckoning on gender. quote "yovanovitch's removal as you can investor reflect some the most complicated gender and political dynamics of trump's presidency." tammy, what the heck does gender have to do with this impeachment proceeding? i heard a lot of wild things over the last two years plus with trump. that is one of the most ridicul
