    Five days after the New York Times broke the news that Weinstein, the head of Miramax and a major Democratic donor, faced a series of allegations of inappropriate behavior toward women over a several-decade span, neither Bill or Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has said a single word about it.

    What's remarkable about that silence is that Weinstein isn't, really, denying the allegations. In a long statement released in response to the Times story -- in which he quoted Jay Z and said he would take a leave of absence to focus on fighting the NRA -- Weinstein acknowledged: "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it."

    Those three are all private citizens so why would they need to make any statement but they did anyway. Did Trump condemn Weinstein other than him saying that he was good friends with him?

    Hillary knew about Weinstein's acts years ago and remained silent until just recently! The only reason she did is becuase CNN was making a big deal about it.
    She has also refused to give back the money he donated to her.
    This is no surprise to anyone as her husband was involved in the same behavior.

    You want Weinstein to get money back?

    PS Trump admitted he knew about it as well

    WaPo: Could Clintons And Democrats Have Handled The Weinstein Scandal Any Worse?
    .
    [​IMG]

    One point has become clear in the Harvey Weinstein scandal — none of the millions of cash he poured into the Democratic Party went to crisis management training. After several days of silence over the horrendous allegations that emerged about one of their key donors and fundraisers, Democrats finally managed a response — but hardly one that demonstrated any sense of the scope and danger it presents to their party. As Politico notes, it took five days before party leaders could even bring themselves to publicly condemn Weinstein’s actions.

    Whoopie G swore up and down Cosby was innocent, but she knew the truth.

    Well, she laughs about children being gang raped, so I wouldn't build that statue of her just yet...

    ...though her *coming under sniper fire* that time WOULD be quite the monument to her character. :)

    It's just a problem of messaging; they didn't let people know how awesome Harvey and Hillary are.

    They'll get it right in 2018. :rolleyes:

    No they just liked his company apparently. At least HRC just wanted his money. Ivanka and Jared did it for free. He probably reminds them of Ivankas daddy

    Oh its a terrible scandal.

    Hilary and Obama taking "too long" to denounce her former friend and political donor for being a pig (already guilty apparently).

    Now just between us I sure do think he's guilty as sin but his partisanship has NOTHING to do with his perversions. It it did, then Der Twitler wouldn't be President now would he.

    But since you wanna make it political, I'll throw in a whataboutery - Donnie or Rex or somebody making a statement about the four dead green berets? THATS A POLITICAL SCANDAL.

    Trump doesn't condemn Charlottesville's mayhem within minutes = evil dictator.

    Clinton doesn't condemn her fundraising serial rapist pal for DAYS = I'm with her!

    Trump family has still not denounced Weinstein or Trump.

    Does that mean they support Weinstein and Epstein?
