Gov. Cuomo took pains to explain in his resignation speech that he simply didn't know that his behavior was unacceptable. So how far has the #MeToo movement really come?

On Today's Show:
Rebecca Traister, writer-at-large for New York Magazine and the author of, most recently, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger (Simon & Schuster, 2018), talks about the toxic workplace that Gov. Cuomo allegedly fostered, and how that intersected with the Me Too movement and was part of what led to his resignation.
