and the other thing i would mention is that i was thinking last night as mrs. obamaas speaking that for the first time that she spoke at a convention was when she was the nominee's spouse. she was going through just what we are seeing senator harris go through now, racist, misogynistic tropes, people saying just terrible things about her. and what did she do for eight years? she earned the trust, respect, confidence of the american people. she is beloved around the world. she now stands on her own two feet as her own power house. so i don't know that i would have come after her if i were he. >> well, you were talking about the tropes against strong women. and black women in particular. actually you put us all on notice, the media. you're one of the signers of a letter called "we have her back" in which you urged the media to consider gender bias that is pervasive in our society. not to call out anyone individually but just to call out this bias and look at women through this lens. >> we have a history in our country of trying to keep women suppressed, trying to keep
