This new article has an older tidbit I seemed to have missed. Right from the beginning he tried to change the narrative. So far the allegations are so vast and so disgusting it hasn't worked yet, but I've been predicting all along at some point the Liberal Media narrative will shift blaming "toxic masculinity" and by extension republicans. They'll try to make Democrats and Hollywood the victim, they are just waiting for the right moment.
“I am going to need a place to channel my anger so I’ve decided I’m going to give the NRA my full attention.” - H.W.
Quick questions:
Why did Weinstein contribute generously to the endowment of a faculty chair at Rutgers University in the name of Gloria Steinem?
And why, earlier this year, did he attend the “Women’s March” – (though only in a gray beanie, not the full-on pink vagina hat) – at the Sundance Film Festival?
Was it
a) because Weinstein is an arch feminist who has always cared passionately about women’s rights and believes that if only we educate the world with more gender studies classes and encourage more girls to fight the oppressive male hegemony by dying their hair blue and putting on weight then sexism will be abolished for ever?
b) because when you’re a wolf the sheep tend to panic less when you pick them off, one by one, if you’re wearing a nice, white woollen outfit and going “baaa baaa” really loudly?
But why single out Weinstein? They’re all at it. Ben Affleck. Roy Price. Oliver Stone. Liberals all.

Harvey Weinstein Donated $10,000 to Bill Clinton’s Legal Fund During Monica Lewinsky Scandal
The story by reporter Peter Baker detailed Hollywood’s response to Clinton’s trial.
“Hollywood was quick to come to the president’s aid,” Baker wrote. “Among the 62 donors giving the maximum $10,000 were performers and directors such as Tom Hanks, Barbra Streisand, Michael Douglas, Ron Howard, Norman Lear, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw-Spielberg as well as studio executives Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Harvey Weinstein and Bud Yorkin.”

Me agreeing with John Oliver? Credit where credit is due. At least he is not treating the subject with kid gloves or being an apologist.
I don't know if I'd put Mel Gibson in that lineup at the end, but otherwise spot on. Mel did have some ugly verbal outburst but AFAIK never raped anyone or even sexually harassed.

Reese Witherspoon Claims Director Sexually Assaulted Her at 16
She divulged, “I have my own experiences that have come back to me very vividly and I find it really hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to communicate a lot of the feelings that I’ve been having about anxiety, honestly, the guilt for not speaking up earlier.”
Witherspoon, who debuted on the silver screen at 15, continued, “[I feel] true disgust at the director who assaulted me when I was 16 years old and anger at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment.”
The Academy Award-winning actress went on to claim that the incident was just one of a number of times she had been sexually abused throughout her career.
“I wish that I could tell you that was an isolated incident in my career, but sadly it wasn’t,” she said. “I’ve had multiple experiences of harassment and sexual assault and I don’t speak about them very often.
Most of them still not naming names, staying complicit.

Multiple Women Allege Abuse by VICE ‘Male Feminist’ Contributor
The alleged perpetrator was later revealed to be Michael Hafford, who has also written for Refinery 29, Playboy, and Rolling Stone.
Following numerous allegations of abuse, Hafford set his Twitter account to private, and blocked one of the accounts alleging abuse.
In a post on Twitter, writer Deirdre Coyle also claimed Hafford “physically forced me to do cocaine during sex,” while another account added, “This is the same guy who choked me at the foot of his stairs until I passed out and then repeatedly punched me in the face.”
Still no peep from this crowd.

Molly Ringwald Describes How Hollywood Sexual Predators Preyed on Her at 13
Ringwald also reveals how when she “was thirteen, a fifty-year-old crew member told me that he would teach me to dance, and then proceeded to push against me with an erection. When I was fourteen, a married film director stuck his tongue in my mouth on set.”
“When I was fourteen, a married film director stuck his tongue in my mouth on set. At a time when I was trying to figure out what it meant to become a sexually viable young woman, at every turn some older guy tried to help speed up the process,” Ringwald, now 49, wrote. “And all this went on despite my having very protective parents who did their best to shield me. I shudder to think of what would have happened had I not had them.
Ringwald’s connection to Weinstein was fleeting, saying that she was “warned about the producer, but I had never heard of him and had no reason to fear him.” She had little actual interactions with the disgraced producer while filming the Weinstein-backed 1990 movie Strike It Rich. Ringwald said she was “lucky” that she was never “cajoled into a taxi, nor did I have to turn down giving or getting a massage.”

Olympic Gold Medal Gymnast McKayla Maroney Says USA Gymnastics Doctor Molested Her
Maroney says that the assaults began when she was a 13-year-old attending a gymnast training camp. The famed gymnast said she was molested for up to seven years.
“It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was ‘treated,'” Maroney wrote in a long Twitter post. “It happened in London before my team and I won the gold medal, and it happened before I won my Silver.”
Maroney claims that Dr. Larry Nassar once slipped her a sleeping pill so that he could molest her in a hotel room in Japan.
“I thought I was going to die that night,” she wrote of the 2011 incident in Tokyo.
Dr. Nassar is now a registered sex offender after he pleaded guilty to child porn possession in July of 2017.
Still mostly in my head, JoBBo?

Laura Dern Reveals Being Sexually Assaulted in Hollywood at Age 14
“And it was my mom who said, ‘No, no, no, Laura — that was sexual assault. That was harassment. That was assault. No, you were 14 then,'” the Jurassic Park star said.
The Big Little Lies actress applauded the industry-wide commission to tackle sexual harassment and “predators” that Lucasfilm president and Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy suggested amid the swirling Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal.
Dern also praised the women who spoke out at the Elle event about the abuse they’ve endured in Hollywood and beyond.
“There was no one there who didn’t say they’d had the experience,” Dern said. “Here is an abuse of power here and something is not OK.”
Jessica Chastain blasted Hollywood’s hypocrisy as the Elle event, saying “This is an industry rife with racism, sexism and homophobia.”
“Oh we’re very quick to point the finger at others and address the issue with social action and fundraising,” she said. “Yet there is a clear disconnect between how we practice what we preach in our industry.”

And now you have the frauds coming out of the woodwork looking for their 5 minutes of fame.
93 year old man in wheelchair forced to apologize for touching a woman's back 4 years ago
I get that the hot, new trending topic is sexual harassment and sexual assault, brought into oh-so ugly focus by the Harvey Weinstein case, but there comes a point where you have to step back and recognize that some may be crying “Wolf!” just to be included.
The latest to hop on the #metoo train is a 34-year old actress, by the name of Heather Lind.
If you don’t know who she is, she stars on an AMC series called “Turn: Washington’s Spies.”
That’s all I know about her, myself.
That, and that she’s completely ridiculous.

Ya'll are getting to see what us Conservatives have been saying for decades. The Hollywood Left and American Libertards who have claimed to be the moral authority are the exact opposite. They are a filthy disgusting bunch of rapists and pedos who will provide cover to their own to the end.

There is a lot of crossover between this thread and the "Riddle Me This.." thread. I guess this goes here better despite the obvious #pizzagate connection. Notice the headline only says sexual harassment.
Kevin Spacey Slammed After Coming Out in Statement Apologizing for Alleged Sexual Harassment
Kevin Spacey is being criticized for “hiding under the rainbow” after he came out in the same statement in which he apologized for alleged unwanted sexual advances towardsactor Anthony Rapp when Rapp was just 14.
Comedian Cameron Esposito added, “Just wanna be really f–ing clear that being gay has nothing to do w/ going after underage folks.”
Being gay? No. Being in Hollywood or high ranking Democrat? Yes. Also the same usual suspects feigning ignorance while patting themselves on the back? They all knew and did nothing. They ALL knew. Once again, Family Guy predicted this just as it has predicted many other such things. Watch more guys come forward.

More on this here and why it should probably be in the "Riddle Me This" thread:
Why Americans Distrust Big Media: INCREDIBLE Spin on New Kevin Spacey Pedophilia Accusations
And yet, much of Big Media portrayed the Real Story as being . . . Spacey’s admission that he is gay. No, seriously. One media organization after another ran headlines with variants of the theme: “Kevin Spacey Says He Is Gay.” Some of them changed their headlines after the fact, and others may still, so I will use screenshots to prove my point.
Umm, #pizzagate anyone?
