Harvey Weinstein Scandal: Nearly Arrested In ’15! Hillary, Obama Still Silent! Feels Betrayed By Brother

All the latest news in the mushrooming Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal. Refresh for updates…

Yes, Hillary—and the Democrats—Do Have a Harvey Weinstein Problem

For instance, as I wrote years ago, long before these latest allegations surfaced, Harvey Weinstein was one of the most prominent defenders of filmmaker Roman Polanski who admitted raping a young girl. Apparently, that wasn’t an important enough detail to matter to Weinstein because Polanski makes good films, so the mogul was a key force behind a petition supporting the director’s release after being taken into custody again in Switzerland in 2009.



Now I want you to take a moment and consider what the reaction would be from prominent progressives if any of the country’s leading conservative donors (The Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, take your pick) actively defended an admitted pedophile. I have a feeling the protests and think pieces would never end—at least not until candidates backed by said donors returned money from them.

Hollywood has slow reaction to Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal and Twitter is taking note

Remember when the Hollywood Access tape of Donald Trump boasting that he would “grab em by the p***y” made headlines and created a media storm that is still raging? At the time, Hollywood immediately took to Twitter to condemn the then presidential hopeful and posted criticism of sexist, sexually abusive behaviour.

Prior to his dismissal, Weinstein released a statement of his own, apologising for his behaviour but refused to acknowledge any of the claims against him. “I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s, when all the rules about behaviour and workplaces were different. That was the culture then,” he said via the NYT.

Harvey Weinstein and Hollywood Hypocrites to Shreds

No one knew about Harvey Weinstein? Give me a break

In the wake of Thursday’s exposé, multiple high-profile journalists reported their own attempts over decades to break the story. On The Cut, Rebecca Traister wrote that in 2000, while covering a pre-election party Weinstein was throwing, Weinstein called her a “c – – t” in response to a question he didn’t like, then threw another reporter down a flight of stairs and dragged him outside in a headlock. Such was Weinstein’s power, Traister wrote, that no other reporters covered the incident and no photos ever appeared.



It’s precisely this sliding scale of moral outrage — no behavior is that bad if it’s our guy doing it — that alienates middle America, red-state America, from Hollywood.

Harvey Weinstein Blames Vast Right Wing Conspiracy For His Sexual Harassment Scandal



Weinstein’s non-apology for his apparent years of taking advantage of Hollywood women — read RedState’s Brad Slager’s article for excellent commentary on this — and his throwing the blame for the mere exposure of his villainy says a lot about the man himself. He’s not sorry he did it, he’s sorry he got caught. He’s not angry with the leftist publication that exposed him, he’s angry with a right-wing boogieman.



How infected is Hollywood with this kind of mentality that the likes of Weinstein, or child molester Roman Polanski, can do what they do, and celebrities will come to their defense, like Whoopie Goldberg who proclaimed Polanski’s pedophilia wasn’t “rape, rape.”



Where is the advocacy videos with celebrities repeating the same phrase over and over again about how sexual assault is wrong?



This is what is happening in the throne room of pop-culture. These are the kind of people who “educate” the populace about politics and social issues long before any expert, or politician can get a word in.

I witnessed Harvey Weinstein’s sleaziness up close: ex-waitress

Harvey Weinstein was every bit the sleazy Hollywood caricature recent reports have made him out to be. When I was working as a waitress, I watched numerous times as a string of young women — some seemingly no older than 21 — entered the restaurant for long, flirty dinners with him, even though he was married with five children.



“When a girl arrived waiting for Harvey, we all knew what was in store for her. After a little small talk and a sip of champagne, there would be an ‘office tour’ — usually well past working hours, after which the girl would return looking worse for wear and barely able to finish the glass.”

Why was Hollywood silent for so long?

A Los Angeles-based source, who has met the Miramax mogul on a number of occasions, claims: "In Hollywood, everyone's always known about Weinstein. There was constant talk about him staying in various LA hotels and having women come to meet him there, conducting all his meetings from hotels instead of offices. To anyone who's ever lived or worked in Hollywood, this is the least surprising story ever."



Some time ago, she says, Weinstein was reputed to carry around with him a "box of tricks" containing various paraphernalia, chief among which was Viagra.

Harvey Weinstein and the Slow-Motion Theft of American Culture

If nothing else, Harvey Weinstein is forcing our cultural masters to face the dark, unseemly side of an industry that much of America has seen through for years. Weinstein’s bust won’t make much of a difference, but it might just make a little.

Obama admin deliberately put firearms into the hands of drug dealers who killed more people than died in Las Vegas

Left-wing Democrats and their hypocrite allies in Hollywood and the media have blamed Republicans, conservatives, the NRA, and the Trump administration for what happened in Las Vegas last weekend, with many actually blaming the noted and respected gun rights organization for putting the guns Stephen Paddock used to kill 58 people and wound 500-plus more in his hands.



According to Justice Department records the watchdog had newly obtained, in the three previous years a total of 94 Fast and Furious guns have been recovered by Mexican authorities in the capital of Mexico City, as well as in 12 Mexican states, “with the majority being seized in Sonora, Chihuahua and Sinaloa.” Of the weapons recovered, 12 were rifles and 12 were pistols, all of which were identified as guns trafficked south of the border by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which falls under the control of DoJ.
