CAROL COSTELLO (HOST): A word about sexual harassment on the job. Donald Trump said he hoped his daughter Ivanka would find another career or company if she were sexually harassed. Trump's son Eric piled on when he said his sister was strong and powerful and would never allow herself to be harassed. Well, as a strong and powerful woman who was sexually harassed in my twenties, I say that's not true, anyone can be harassed. I wish I could have left my job. But frankly, at the time I needed the money and I loved my job. It's also scary to report abuse. I feared being blackballed in my field. That's why I did not report it. Ivanka Trump did try to clarify her father's remarks.

IVANKA TRUMP: I think it's -- sexual harassment is inexcusable in any setting. I think harassment in general, regardless, sexual or otherwise, is totally inexcusable. If it transpires, it needs to be reported. And it needs to be dealt with on a company level.

(End clip)

COSTELLO: Thanks for trying, Ivanka, powerful voices are so important. And again, a shout out to Gretchen Carlson, you're one courageous lady.
