Acting like a fangirl during a fawning interview with liberal Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff aired during Tuesday’s 9 a.m. ET hour, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle praised the prominent Hillary Clinton backer for using his position in business to push left-wing social justice issues and urged him to condemn the “void of trust” in the Trump administration.

Ruhle touted the sit-down with Benioff as her way of celebrating Equal Pay Day: “Today is Equal Pay Day, so to honor it, I sat down with Marc Benioff, a leader, the CEO of the cloud computing company Salesforce. But his company isn’t just about computers, it's making headlines by spending three million bucks in 2015, and again now, to bring salaries of all female employees up to the level of their male counterparts.”
