Disgraced
liberal Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is pulling a Hillary Clinton,
branding NYT’s alleged sexual harassment report a “right-wing conspiracy.”
Daily
Mail UK reports:
Harvey Weinstein believes the
allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour against him are part of a
right-wing ‘conspiracy’ to take him down, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The Hollywood mogul thinks that
shadowy right wing forces are ‘out to get me’ and that he is being targeted for
his liberal views.
In an echo of his close friend Hillary Clinton‘s notorious claim that ‘a vast right-wing
conspiracy’ was out to get her and her husband, the Democratic supporter is
making the claim to those around him – despite his admission

Weinstein believes a team of lawyers
linked to conservative groups have been digging up dirt on him and that other
prominent Democrat supporters will be attacked next.

Back in 2014, Weinstein defended
Clinton against her handling of Benghazi, calling it “complete bullshit.”
THR wrote:
Weinstein, who has become close to
the Obamas, also defended Hillary Clinton, saying it is “complete bullshit” for
some conservatives to blame her for the Benghazi embassy attack. (At the same
time, he added he is on friendly terms with Fox News chief Roger Ailes.)
Mr. Weinstein has
also donated at least $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, reports the
Washington Times.
As The Hollywood Reporter says, the
news puts the Clintons and Obamas in a “tough spot.”
THR writes:
Weinstein was a strong supporter of
Hillary Clinton’s recent presidential run, and donated to her political
campaigns about 10 times between 1999 and 2016, according to a review of campaign finance records.
Weinstein’s donations to Clinton over
the years total more than $20,000, and span from her successful campaign for
U.S. Senate in New York in 2000 to her unsuccessful presidential campaigns of
2007 and 2016. He also donated to her husband’s presidential campaigns in the
1990’s.
More broadly, Weinstein has donated generously to Democratic political candidates,
national party campaign committees and state Democratic Party operations over
the last few decades. Last year, he also gave $10,000 to a political action
committee associated with the advocacy group Human Rights Campaign.
In a shocking report set to rock
Hollywood, the New York Times released devastating details of sexual harassment
accusations against liberal Hollywood producer and mega Democrat donor Harvey
Weinstein. According to the report, Weinstein has settled a whopping eight
times over such allegations.
New
York Times reports:
Two decades ago, the Hollywood
producer Harvey Weinstein invited Ashley Judd to the Peninsula Beverly Hills
hotel for what the young actress expected to be a business breakfast meeting.
Instead, he had her sent up to his room, where he appeared in a bathrobe and
asked if he could give her a massage or she could watch him shower, she
recalled in an interview.
In 2014, Mr. Weinstein invited Emily
Nestor, who had worked just one day as a temporary employee, to the same hotel
and made another offer: If she accepted his sexual advances, he would boost her
career, according to accounts she provided to colleagues who sent them to
Weinstein Company executives. The following year, once again at the Peninsula,
a female assistant said Mr. Weinstein badgered her into giving him a massage
while he was naked, leaving her “crying and very distraught,” wrote a
colleague, Lauren O’Connor, in a searing memo asserting sexual harassment and
other misconduct by their boss.
An investigation by The New York
Times found previously undisclosed allegations against Mr. Weinstein stretching
over nearly three decades, documented through interviews with current and
former employees and film industry workers, as well as legal records, emails
and internal documents from the businesses he has run, Miramax and the
Weinstein Company.
During that time, after being
confronted with allegations including sexual harassment and unwanted physical
contact, Mr. Weinstein has reached at least eight settlements with women,
according to two company officials speaking on the condition of anonymity.
Weinstein responded to the
devastating report says, ““I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in
the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I’m
trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go.”
“I am a 28 year old woman trying to
make a living and a career. Harvey Weinstein is a 64 year old, world famous man
and this is his company. The
balance of power is me: 0, Harvey Weinstein: 10. — From Lauren
O’Connor‘s memo”
O’Connor was a female assistance at
the Weinstein Company.
