Progressive liberal Democrats love to claim how they are all about women’s rights and stuff. Yet, have you heard one Democrat call how mega donor Harvey Weinstein for his alleged, decades long sexual harassment of women? Of course not. Hillary Clinton, who benefited from two mega fundraisers with Weinstein in 2016 has been absolutely silent on the matter. She has had no problem speaking out against guns (after Las Vegas), Trump (Puerto Rico) and so forth.

Liberals like to pretend sexual predators are never liberal themselves. Just ask Anthony Weiner about how wrong that is. The latest example involves Hollywood A-list producer Harvey Weinstein and allegations of nearly three decades of sexual harassment, according to The New York Times.
Weinstein has responded to the allegations by threatening to sue The Times for $50 million, and vowing to “channel” his anger at the NRA.
The millionaire Miramax producer gave $719,382 to Democrat candidates and PACs between 1991 and 2017 and only $2,400 to one Republican. $67,890 of the total was given after he was accused of groping a woman in March 2015. He also threw two fundraisers for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign — one in October, 2015 and a second in June, 2016. A complete list of Weinstein’s donations can be found at the end of this story.
A bombshell report by The New York Times on Oct. 5, 2017, revealed sexual harassment allegations from women including Ashley Judd against Weinstein spanning nearly 30 years. During that time, Weinstein reportedly reached settlements with at least eight women. In the initial Times article, a lawyer advising Weinstein said, “he denies many of the accusations as patently false.”
