The hosts of Morning Joe called for a change in the way that men accused of sexual misconduct in the workplace are punished on their MSNBC show on Tuesday.

Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, who announced earlier this year that they are getting married after working together for a decade, said that there needs to be due process in these cases and more transparency in the workplace.

'Are we the judge and the jury and the cops? Are women the judge, the jury and the cops? Is that where we want to go? Because I don't see us getting hired, if that's the case,' said Brzezinski.

'So we need to figure out a better way to get rid of harassers, real harassers. We need to think of a better way to deal with people who need to be educated. The rules are changing, that's great. Let's be fair in this process.'

She later said in the program that the current environment is actually hurting women in the workplace, stating: 'I know men who say they won't hire women now, so that's great.'

New approach: Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough (above) called for changes in how men are punished for incidents of sexual misconduct

Brzezinski's comment about men not wanting to hire women did not sit well with panelist Sam Stein, who commented: 'That's stupid.'

That prompted Brzezinski to ask Stein: 'Well what would you do?'

Stein then explained: 'You need to have an atmosphere that's open to women coming forward...'

Scarborough then jumped in asking Stein how he would feel if an accusations from decades ago about him touching a woman ended his career.

Prior to that Scarborough had stated: 'Whatever the movement is, whatever the cause is, if you think it is bigger than due process, giving people an opportunity to be heard and making sure that people - I know there are some people that say, "well, you know what, if some people get destroyed, if their lives get destroyed, that's a small price."'

He also spoke of a reporter he knows who lost everything from an accusation and did not even have the chance to defend himself.

Scarborough did not name the individual, only stating: 'There is a reporter whose name I will not mention, a very good reporter who was called in, was not told what he was accused of by an anonymous person and he was immediately dismissed.'

He went on to say: 'Not only do you not get to face your accuser, in this case, you don't know what the charges are against you.'

Exchange: 'I know men who say they won't hire women now, so that's great,' said Brzezinski at one point, which prompted Sam Stein (above) to say that was 'stupid'

Snap back: Brzezinski fired back at the 'stupid' comment saying: 'Well, what would you do?'

Brzezisnki responded to that example by saying: 'I think the process itself is what we need to talk about before we talk about the men. The process needs to be, it's going to be complicated but I think women feel that they are maligned and mistreated through the process and therefore they are afraid to step forward.'

She continued: 'We need to look at the process. But right now any woman can say anything and a man's career is ruined. Now, a lot of women can say things that are true and their careers should be ruined.'

Brzeznski later noted: 'But the problem is any women can say anything and that's it, it's over. Is that how we are running businesses now?'

The talk also delved into the resignation of Senator Al Franken in the wake of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's surprise comment last month that Bill Clinton should have resigned from the presidency in the wake of his sex scandal.

'We all know the bitter truth surrounding what happened to Al, truth. I think we all know it. And it has less to do with due process and more to do with Alabama,' said Mike Barnicle, pointing out that Franken's decision let Democrats continue to attack Ray Moore in his special election.

And Scarborough noted it would all be much different if Hillary had won the election.

'What else was out there that changed other than Hillary Clinton losing and the Clintons for the first time in 25 years being out of power of some sort?' he asked

'Al Franken would be senator and Kirsten Gillibrand, who rode in the Clinton's wake for decades, would still be riding on that wake right now. Let's just move that to the side, because everybody knows that's true.'

Brzezinski also said that she wants to hear more from Gillibrand on her change of heart.

'She has to deal with her Clinton issue. She has to address the cameras and answer the question as to what was the motivation behind her change of opinion about the Clintons,' explained Brzezisnki.

'Because for me, for the ten years that I have been on this show, I have been extremely critical and concerned about the Clintons because of their abuse of women. I don't know how your position could change on this, I'd like to know about that process.'
