Courtesy of Newsweek:Weird, Hillary has been really quiet about Harvey Weinstein. You would think she would be all Over this. #WhatHappened?— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 7, 2017
The 39-year-old also liked posts about how the film industry had covered up Weinstein's advances toward women, how close Weinstein was with several high-profile Democrats and how Weinstein planned to sue the Times for not giving him enough time to respond to the allegations.
Trump Jr. then seized upon another part of Weinstein's statement, where the executive wrote that he "came of age in the '60s and '70s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different." CNN journalist Jake Tapper wrote that "it's weird how many dad[s] grew up in the same exact era and never sexually harassed anyone," and Trump Jr. liked it.
Wait, what?
President Trump has been accused of harassment by several women—and, depending on how you interpret the 2005 tape, may have even admitted to it. In that conversation, recorded as the tycoon spoke with Access Hollywood host Billy Bush, Trump bragged about a lady and said he'd "moved on her like a bitch." He added that he was attracted to beautiful women, and when he wants to seduce them, he "just starts kissing."
It should be pointed out that yesterday, during the time that Junior was posting all of this, it was the first year anniversary of the release of the Access Hollywood pussy grabbing tape.
That's why the video was played on a loop for 12 hours yesterday just outside the White House.
This kind of deflection reminds me of when Trump invited all of those Bill Clinton accusers to the debate in order to rattle Hillary.
However that failed and she mopped the floor with him that night.
This right here is yet another epic fail on the part of the Trumps.
Harvey Weinsein is indeed a terrible person, and he deserves everything that seems to be coming his way right now.
However I think Nate Silver summed it up nicely.
Hillary Clinton is NOT responsible for Weinstein's actions. And it is really not her responsibility to publicly condemn him.Hard to think of any difference between Weinstein & Trump other than one of them was his PARTY's NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) October 7, 2017
I mean it's not as if he were her father, who she was attempting to provide cover for or anything.
Right?
