You’ve been had, Mz Feminist of the 21st Century.
Totally had.
Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and the leaders of the day after inauguration Big Women’s March aren’t the champions of women, but the exploiters of them.“Weinstein's donations to Clinton over the years total more than $20,000 and span from her successful campaign for U.S. Senate in New York in 2000 to her unsuccessful presidential campaigns of 2007 and 2016. He also donated to her husband's presidential campaigns in the 1990s.”And it wasn’t just self-touted Champion of Women Hillary Clinton that Weinstein, maker or breaker of Hollywood careers, financed.
“He also hosted fundraisers benefiting Barack Obama's reelection campaign in 2012 and donated several times to his campaign in 2011 and 2012. Weinstein was considered a "bundler" for Obama's campaign, as he raised $679,275 for it. (Hollywood Reporter)
“Dunn was not paid by Weinstein for her help, according to one of the people familiar with the matter. But she did offer her PR advice, including in regards to a Sept. 23 Times story written by Megan Twohey. (Buzzfeed) “The story, about a controversy over Weinstein’s work with AIDS charity amfAR, was thought to be a precursor to the big investigation posted on Thursday. “Sources said that Lanny Davis, former special counsel to Bill Clinton, has been central to the PR effort for Weinstein, who is a major Democratic donor. “Dunn, for her part, is the managing director of SKDKnickerbocker, a Washington public affairs firm with deep ties to Democratic politics. She was communications director for Obama’s 2008 campaign and served briefly in his administration.”Nothing to see here, folks, only attempted damage control through high-flown PR.
“On Thursday afternoon, the New York Times published a major investigation into Weinstein that features on-the-record claims of sexual harassment, including from actor Ashley Judd.” (NY Times)And that’s got to be the best part of the story, Ashley Judd, who made claims of being sexually harassed by Weinstein, never mentioned it on the day of the Big Women’s March. Instead she portrayed newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump as pervert and monster, saying that Trump’s election victory was worse than being raped.
“It remains for me the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my lifetime,” Judd said of Trump’s successful election. “Raped as a child – bad. Re-raped by a political system that ordains a clown – really bad.” “Last month, at the Women’s March in Washington, DC, Judd bashed Trump by suggesting that he has sexual fantasies about his daughter, Ivanka Trump. “I am not as nasty as your own daughter being your favorite sex symbol, like your wet dreams infused with your own genes,” Judd said.”Meanwhile, Weinstein included what he will be doing when working with therapists during his leave of absence “to deal with this issue head on”, in a statement to the New York Times: “I've been trying to do this for 10 years and this is a wake-up call. I cannot be more remorseful about the people I hurt and I plan to do right by all of them. I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I've decided that I'm going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party. (Huffington Post, Oct. 5, 2017)
“I'm going to do it at the same place I had my Bar Mitzvah. I'm making a movie about our President, perhaps we can make it a joint retirement party.”In other words, Harvey Weinstein is throwing completely in with the hate-filled Donald Trump activists. Weinstein, who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to get Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama elected, is no longer working for them but with them.
