Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to Michelle Obama, became the leader of Time's Up. The hosts argue that Time's Up was created by Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood elites to co-opt and manage the grassroots "Me Too" movement. They highlight Oprah's Golden Globes speech as the moment the narrative shifted toward a more controlled, celebrity-led organization.
Tina Tchen appeared on CBS This Morning to discuss her new role at Time's Up and the success of its Legal Defense Fund, which raised $21 million in 100 days. The hosts question the transparency of the fund, noting it is housed within the National Women's Law Center and receives significant corporate donations, including $20 million from CBS.
Tina Tchen and Roberta Kaplan resigned from Time's Up after it was revealed they advised Governor Andrew Cuomo's team on how to discredit sexual harassment accusers. Tchen claimed she was "used as cover" by the Cuomo administration. The hosts argue this proves Time's Up was a front organization designed to protect powerful men rather than victims.
