Dem's reponse to Weinstein should be one word

[Miigwech]

Trump

[fishwax]

1. my response is: fuck that creep

[Miigwech]

2. Amen to that

[RelativelyJones]

3. Yep

[demmiblue]

10. +1

[ansible]

4. Weinstein's sexual assaults are far, far worse than Trump

This guy has been doing it for decades with many Hollywood actresses. Even worse is that the Hollywood establishment covered it up even though it was an open secret.

[coolsandy]

7. Better wait until ALL the info about 45 comes out to make a comparison.

There are allegations against 45 that were stopped in their tracks before he was nominated and elected.

[Demsrule86]

17. No they are not...Trump is a rapist...read Ivana's book...I am convinced he did rape that 13 year

old too. Trump is a monster who made sexual comments about his own underage daughter.

[icymist]

5. What's that? Camaraderie?

Fuck that. Let them sink.

[Demsrule86]

6. Democrats have no reason to respond to Weinstein.

[oberliner]

9. This is INSANE

We have EVERY reason to respond to Weinstein.

Our party is committed to standing up for women's rights for crying out loud!

[wasupaloopa]

11. Dems are not the only ones standing up for women's rights. We are not some holier

than thou group.

Don't paint us as the righteous ones and everyone else is not. This Weintein thing is shedding more light on the treatment of women but we don't need to claim that action as ours.

We don't own all that is good in the country.

[Demsrule86]

15. No we don't. We don't own Weinstein... a big who cares. He was a sexual harasser

who got caught...the idea that this has anything to do with us as Democrats is silly and just and attempt by the elected sexual harassment and champion 'pussy' grabber to change the subject. We should not allow Trump to call the tune...silly.

[Demsrule86]

18. No, it makes it look like somehow we are respsponsible...a general condemnation and that is

it..while you are at it remind the country what Trump has done. we need to legislate women's right...all the talk in the world won't stop this. Weinstein has nothing to do with us...so lets not give the GOP ammunition...I wish just once that some would think about the political repercussions instead of an ideology that we have no way to advance without winning! This is like someone I worked with who was always 'sorry'...if it rained, if a report was late etc...and everything was deemed her fault and she lost her job. We have nothing to discuss or apologize for.

[oberliner]

8. Could not disagree more strongly

We should take this opportunity to start a conversation about the fact that this awful behavior is still endemic in America and that more work needs to be done to stop it.

We should do everything we can to encourage those who have faced their own Harvey Weinstein (or Trump) to feel that they can stand up and that they will be supported for doing so.

We should be encouraging everyone who knows about a Harvey Weinstein (or Trump) to take that person to task and not let them get away with their behavior any more.

This problem is a massive one and if we don't take strong steps towards ending this culture of abuse and unaccountability then it will continue forever.

[Demsrule86]

16. Why? All these conversations going exactly nowhere. I want a conversation on how we can win the

next election...and stop Trump. Better yet, let's just do it.

[Demsrule86]

19. Waste of time...and the truth is they can not stand up and will not be supported.

Our only hope to end this is to win elections and change the law.

[Vinca]

12. I'm puzzled. I went to the FEC search engine and put Weinstein's name in and nothing came up.

Has someone removed it because there are also Republican donations?

[WinkyDink]

14. Maybe the donor is a corporate name.

[WinkyDink]

13. Nothing. This is giving credence to the Republican politicizing.
