Life comes at you pretty fast. When you are a liberal hypocrite like Lorne Michaels and the rest of the SNL “cast,” you show your true form by ignoring all of the sexual assault allegaitons on Harvey Weinstein. Why do they ignore it? Aside from the fact Weinstein has given Democrats three quarters of a million dollars since 1991, Lorne Michaels has another excuse. It’s because Harvey Weinstein is a New Yorker or something. Oh, you mean like Donald Trump?

Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels has seemingly admitted the show chose not to roast Harvey Weinstein because the embattled film heavyweight is from New York.
When Michaels was asked as he was leaving SNL’s after-party at 4am why the show avoided the Weinstein controversy, the producer smiled and responded: ‘It’s a New York thing.’
The show had earlier been criticized for not mentioning the sexual harassment allegations leveled against Weinstein this week.
But DailyMail.com has since learned that the cast did try out a Weinstein joke during dress rehearsal – it just never made it to air.
In October of 2016, the Access Hollywood tape of Trump telling Billy Bush you got to grab women by the pussy was like the end of the world for the media. It was like Armageddon! Don’t you remember how the media officially declared the Trump candidacy over once that tape came out? But when Harvey Weinstein allegedly jerked off and into a potted plant to a Fox News host, that’s just not mock-able for Saturday Night Live, or even report-able on the dinosaur media. Funny how hypocrisy comes at you so fast.
