Hillary Clinton On Harvey Weinstein: ‘How Could We Have Known?’

[QUOTE] “He raised money for me, for the Obamas, for Democrats in general. And that at the time was something that everybody thought made sense,” she declared. “And of course, if all of us had known what we know now, it would have affected our behavior.”

Do you know what your co-workers or acquaintances are doing behind closed doors? Of course not.

by Anonymousreply 1January 22, 2020 5:07 PM

She’s right. Nobody knew anything because the women did not come forward until Farrow’s article.

I am still surprised that only the ones who didn’t make it big were victimized by Weinstein.

It was an open secret for years.

How incredible none of them knew yet people were discussing it on the internet for at least a decade, with stories to boot.

People discuss everything and anything in the internet. Doesn’t mean Elvis is still alive.

To some people and not to others. Don't really think Hilary sat around gossiping about Weinstein's sex life.

It wasn’t just discussed on the Internet; it was a regular punchline on awards shows for a decade before Farrow’s article.

I’m surprised she didn’t talk about dragging a $100 bill through a Bel-Air trailer park. Everyone in show biz knew.

Why is she talking so much these days?

Hillary isn’t some sleazy, money-grubbing bitch with no moral character. If she says she didnt know, she meant that shit.

And she’s in politics. Different worlds.

There have been rumors about him forever, but those are rumors. You don't need to assume something is true without solid evidence. It's not like she had actress friends telling her, by the way, that guy Weinstein sexually harassed me. He hadn't been charged with any crimes or even openly accused when she was running for office.

She refused to recognize that her own husband was a predator.

The Clintons were chummy were quite a few questionable people. Harvey Weinstein. Donald Trump. Pamela Harriman. They'd rub up against anybody if they thought they would gain something from it.

Right around the time Hill became First Lady I was a lowly assistant editor in the NYC Indy Film world.

You knew because you worked around the film industry.

To Hillary, Harvey was an acquaintance who raised money for Dems; not her bestie.

She really is a poor thinker. The DNC tried to help her, but she shot herself in the foot. And her we go again. Also, she is a terrible judge of character.

I don't work in the film industry, and I don't even have friends in the industry -- like the Clintons did back in the 90s -- and even I knew.

She knew. It was just business as usual. Now that it's inconvenient behavior, she's claiming she didn't know.

Of course Hillary tries to bring the Obamas into it.

People in the industry were more in the know because they heard rumors and stories from multiple sources. People in politics may not have even heard of any rumors let alone have been able to validate them.

"Wealthy and powerful people know one another. you can't accuse them all of being complicit."

Oh, come on. Weinstein and Trump were always repugnant asshole sleazebags. Harriman was a legendary, greedy, self-centered, rich whore. EVERYBODY knew that, including Bill and Hillary Clinton. They just chose to overlook it, because their scummy friends had wealth and power. That's what the Clintons have always been about: wealth and power.

by Anonymousreply 46January 28, 2020 12:30 AM

Clinton also hung around Epstein. Post-Conviction. Didn't stop him. (I have no idea if Clinton took part in Epstein's criminal enterprise as a client.)

I knew about Weinstein and the closest I came to Hollywood was Movieline magazine and the rumors about Charlize Theron on Datalounge. I didn't know the specifics about violent rape, but I knew about the coercive rape. It was a topic of discussion.

Poor thing is so physically repulsive. Not one redeeming feature: short, fat, lazy eye, balding, scraggly homeless beard. And now virtually disabled.

And like most Quasimodo's, his only desire was to fuck beautiful women. And to do that he had to lure and attack.

Can we end it once and for all with the "She Knew! " bullshit, directed primarily at Streep and Clinton?

First off, rumors are just that, rumors. They probably heard that he was a philanderer but that's not their responsibility to inform the world. And even if they had heard rumors of more, It's not Hilary Clinton or Meryl Streep's job to play fucking babysitter to ADULT women. Half of this "She Knew! " idiocy is just people working out their mommy issues. . If Meryl Streep held a press conference years ago announcing that Weinstein was coercing wannabe actresses half of these women would have turned on her for ruining "their big chance ".

r19 I'm not 100% convinced that the Obama's knew or knew the extend of the issue. I have a very hard time believe that Barack and Michelle knew about this, yet let their daughter Malia intern there. That internship is basically useless these days now that Weinstein has been destroyed. I can believe a lot, but I'm not sure the Obamas would do that. Then again, Malia had secrete service with her and W wouldn't dare upset the apple cart with the President's daughter so who knows.

I supported Hillary in both her campaigns as I felt she was the best candidate we had. But she's part of a very corrupted political system. Money blinded her as it blinded many in Weinstens circle. It was known for decades what a monster he was.
