Carr: On Harvey Weinstein, Dems’ silence isn’t golden
What a difference a year makes — remember when the “Access Hollywood” tapes came out last October?
The Social Justice Warriors of Hollywood, the Democrats and the alt-left media collectively went crazy. Donald Trump was the absolute worst person in the world, for talking about sexual harassment.
But now, 365 days later, a vulgar, obese Hollywood mogul named Harvey Weinstein is outed by The New York Times (of all outlets!) as a serial sexual predator, with at least eight settlements under his 55-inch belt for harassment.
And the reaction among the Beautiful People in both Hollywood and D.C. is ... crickets.
As one of Weinstein’s victims, actress Rose McGowan, tweeted out Friday: “Ladies of Hollywood, your silence is deafening.”
At least some of the national Democrats have started trying to divest themselves of his filthy lucre but most of the Beltway bandits are loath to say boo about their fellow traveler Harvey the Hut, and I can explain their reluctance to put the blast on him in two words: professional courtesy.
I mean, if you pull this putz’s political contributions at the FEC website, you will find the names of almost every ethically challenged Democrat of the last 30 years. Just for starters, Weinstein gave dough to three Kennedys — Ted, Joe II and Patches — who are known for, respectively, drowning, crippling and assaulting women.
Ted took part in a famous “waitress sandwich” back in the 1980s in D.C. with another senator, Chris Dodd of Connecticut. Weinstein gave Dodd cash, too. Birds of a feather and all that ...
Weinstein had a rather unusual M.O. with women, according to the story in the Times. He would call a young starlet like Ashley Judd, invite her up to his hotel suite and then ask her if she wanted to watch him take a shower.
What an amazing life/career opportunity! To see Weinstein’s ultra-buff, 300-pound body, rolls upon rolls of flab and fat, all soaped up. What woman could ever resist such a come-on from Blubber Boy?
“How do I get out of the room as fast as possible,” Judd told the Times she was thinking, “without alienating Harvey Weinstein?”
If you’re like most people, you know his name vaguely. You may have seen him waddling up to collect an Oscar for some movie you didn’t see and had no desire to ever watch on Netflix. But for a time, he had more money than God, and he handed it out, in gobs, to the worst of the worst in American politics.
He visited the White House 13 times during the Obama regime. Michelle said of him: “He is a wonderful human being, a good friend and just a powerhouse.”
Here is his take on the USA, still preserved on YouTube: “This country is embarrassing.”
Embarrassing indeed. This is the same guy who paid $100,000 to Rose McGowan after what the Times calls an “episode” in his hotel suite. Check her tweets for a less vague description of what t***spired during the “episode.” Talk about embarrassing.
No wonder he was such good pals with the Clintons, especially Bill.
“I’m gonna tell you,” he once bragged, “the president and I saw so many movies together. I’m not kidding by the way. We saw so many movies together.”
No one thinks you’re kidding, Harvey. The only question is, exactly what genre of films did you and Clinton enjoy together?
On Thursday night, hours after the story broke, the lock-step lefty late-night comics gave their dear pal’s plight a total pass. Expect an even more complete news blackout on the Weinstein scandal this morning on the alt-left network chat shows.
Jake Tapper of CNN and George Stephanopoulos of ABC have each been on the payrolls of either the Clintons or their in-laws. As for Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,” his career as a “journalist” began on the payroll of ex-Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, who falsely claimed to have flown combat missions in Vietnam.
Are you shocked to learn that Harvey gave old “Blood ’n’ Guts” Harkin tons of cash?
So expect Harkin’s coatholder to give Harvey a good leaving alone on NBC. And of course, Harkin wasn’t the only stolen-valor Democrat senator Weinstein took care of. He has also contributed generously to Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, who falsely claimed to have served in Vietnam.
According to the Times, one of Weinstein’s victims was a young woman who said he “badgered her into giving him a massage while he was naked, leaving her ‘crying and very distraught.’ ”
He liked to get massages in hotel rooms from unwilling women! No wonder Weinstein bonded with Al Gore and gave him $5,000.
But then, Weinstein took care of every Democrat politician ... as long as they were bent.
John Kerry, John Edwards, Harry Reid, Robert “the Torch” Toricelli, Rahm Emanuel, Al Franken, Sheldon Whitehouse, and of course, Elizabeth Warren.
If you want to clear a room in Hollywood or Georgetown right now, just yell, “Harvey Weinstein!” It’s like cockroaches scattering in a darkened kitchen when you turn on the lights.
The Mafia had a word for it. Omerta. Silence.

Carr: NBC ‘News’ won’t tune in to the Dems’ sex scandals
What did NBC News know, and when did it know it?
After Harvey Weinstein and Ben Affleck, no one’s looking worse in this Hollywood sex scandal than NBC “News.”
They had the Weinstein story, cold, and first, but they spiked it, to protect their fellow traveler, the gross 300-pound Democrat schlockmeister.
I know, you are “saddened and angry,” as Ben Affleck would put it, by this news.
After all, this is the same very ethical network that has employed, or continues to employ, such extinguished “journalists” as Brian Williams, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Low IQ Mika, Comrade Chris Matthews, F. Chuck Todd, Chelsea Clinton and Joe “Deliverance” Scarborough, as well as the noted fiction writer Mike Barnicle.
When the news breaks, they fix it. If it’s news to you, it’s news to them. The Peacock Network has gone chicken.
NBC News has always had a soft spot for millionaire Democrats accused of rape. Almost 20 years ago, they had the first on-camera interview with Juanita Broaddrick, who credibly accused Bill Clinton of raping her, but that story was spiked on orders of … Brian Williams.
We already knew that Saturday Night Live’s producer Lorne Michaels last weekend gave a pass to his dear friend Weinstein. That’s how corrupt the entertainment side of NBC is. But now it turns out that Ronan Farrow begged NBC “News” to run his expose, which has since been printed by The New Yorker.
NBC is the same outfit that for 11 years sat on Donald Trump’s conversations with Billy Bush, until he became a Republican, after which they used it to try to destroy his candidacy.
As bad as the Times story about Weinstein was, Farrow’s magazine piece was worse. Farrow had NYPD audio of Weinstein admitting to sexually assaulting a 21-year-old Italian model. And he had video of actress Rose McGowan accusing Harvey of raping her.
Imagine that — a big-time Democratic donor to such moral titans as Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Edwards, three members of the Kennedy family and Eliot Spitzer — accused of sexually abusing a woman.
But NBC adamantly refused to run the piece because … well, reread the above paragraph.
In fact, the Huffington Post reported, NBC ordered Ronan Farrow, who was then under contract, to stop reporting the story.
“NBC tried to put a stop to the interview with the woman accusing Weinstein of rape,” the website said. “The network insisted he not use an NBC News crew for the interview, and neither was he to mention his NBC News affiliation.”
Here’s one ex-Weinstein employee, Tina Brown, describing how Harvey always kept corrupt alt-left “journalists” from outing him: “It was startling — and professionally mortifying — to discover how many hacks … were on the Miramax payroll with a ‘consultancy’ or a ‘development deal’ (one even at The New York Times).”
Anyone at NBC News, Tina?

The Democrats issued a statement today: "Unlike the Republicans who run sexual predators for President; the Democrats will not be running Weinstein in the next P**********l e******n."

The Democrats prefer to take their money & run sub par candidates........Neither Obama nor HRC has returned any of the donations Weinstein made to them.
HRC says she will , at some point, donate it to a charity.... What a laugh, it will likely be her own...

Clearly there are no women in your life. If you had some then you'd know they want this scumbag charged and hung by his balls. Then they'll go after his enablers....see Ben Affleck/Matt Damon, etc. A snarky remark like your will put you on the list too but that's par for the course for you Mr. Sensitivity, eh?

No but the Democrats DID run Billy Bob Clinton for President. His exploits are known by the world and the Liberals hold him up as a revered member of society even though he has undoubtedly raped some women and groped many more. The supposedly woman kind Hillary of course put down every woman who ever said Bill groped/raped them. Way to go Dems.

Hillary said she will, as always, donate 10% of her money to charity. What she didn't say was that the Weinstein money would probably just be added to her donation so that only 10% of that money too would be donated to charity. Of course the charity is probably the Clinton purse.

Frank TURDLICKER forgot to remind us of Bill 'THE RAPIST' Clinton and his 2 bit t*****rous whore of a wife. Frank has more and bigger calluses on his knees and lips which qualifies to run
as a NYC serer cleaner. Perfectly fitting.
