Nikki Haley Says 'We Should All Be Willing To Listen' To Trump Accusers

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., said on Sunday that women who have accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault "should be heard."
More than a dozen women came forward during the 2016 campaign with allegations of unwanted touching or kissing or other forms of sexual harassment.
Haley addressed the allegations on CBS's Face the Nation, after discussing North Korea's missile tests and the plan to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Haley told host John Dickerson that women who feel that they were harassed by Trump have "every right to speak up" and "we should all be willing to listen to them."
Asked in October by a reporter if the "official White House position" is that "all of those women are lying," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a briefing, "Yeah, we've been clear on that since the beginning."
Sunday's remarks by Haley, the former South Carolina governor whom Trump nominated for her current post, were a sharp deviation from that approach.
During the campaign, Trump called the allegations fabricated, false and "outright lies." More recently, he has described them as "fake news."
At the 5:15 mark in the video, Dickerson asks Haley about the recent developments in politics and the culture as a whole, with powerful men (including senior news managers at NPR) losing their jobs over sexual harassment allegations.
"What do you think of this cultural moment that's happening?" Dickerson asked.
"I'm incredibly proud of the women who have come forward, I'm proud of their strength, I'm proud of their courage," she said. "I think it will start to bring a conscience to the situation not just in politics but ... in Hollywood and every industry, and I think the time has come."
