MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski narrowly avoided legal action after she immediately corrected New York University professor Scott Galloway when he referred to President-elect Donald Trump as a “rapist” during a segment of “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.

Galloway falsely accused the incoming President as a “rapist” in relation to a jury finding the now-president-elect liable for sexually assaulting former Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll was awarded $83.3 million in damages in January, along with a $65 million in punitive damages and $18.3 million in compensatory damages.

Brzezinski immediately clarified Galloway’s false statements, highlighting the fact that Trump had not been found liable for rape.

“They are targeting the wealthy,” Galloway said.

“We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality. 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.” he said.

“Why? Because the majority of households are having the oxygen sucked out of the room such that a small number of individuals and a small number of companies can be worth more than nation states. Income inequality is out of control. Our tax policy has gone full oligarch.”

“Great conversation,” Brzezinski said following Galloway’s appearance.

“I want to make a comment though just about a word that was used in this interview.”

“Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found liable of sexual abuse, not rape.”

“But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse.”

ABC News host George Stephanopoulos was sued by Trump last year for his statements that two juries found the now-president-elect “liable for rape”

Stephanopoulos agreed to pay Trump $15 million by Dec. 24, 2024, as a “charitable contribution” towards a future “[p]residential foundation and museum.”

Meanwhile, both defendants were ordered to pay $1 million in attorney’s fees to Trump’s counsel.

The network was also ordered to add an editor’s note to a March 10, 2024 article stating:

“ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with [Republican South Carolina] Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024.”

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg also alleged without evidence that all of Trump’s cabinet picks have a “sexual misconduct allegation” during a November segment.
