BRZEZINSKI: [i] gotta ask you about Harvey Weinstein. Not about him, but everything we're reading, and the stuff that is backed up, and for sure, it seems so pervasive, it seems so supported. Is this how the industry operates?
REINER: No.
BRZEZINSKI: Are you sure?
REINER: Here's the thing – Harvey Weinstein's disgusting, let’s just say that. But Fox News had that, Clarence Thomas – I think what we’re doing now, is it’s lifted this thing and put it front and center in a big way.
... Women have a hard time. They are either not believed, they say "they asked for it," or they're punished. And how can they go up against the world that they're in when they vote for a person who actually admitted to sexually harassing women, who becomes President of the United States? How do you fight that? We elected this man who actually said he abused women.
Given the number of allegations of misconduct with Weinstein--what other industry has had the same kind of predatory behavior?
Surely there must be a way to measure if this is unusual to the entertainment industry or you also find it with other businesses?
I would assume that it is unusual due to the small size of the business and the concentration of ownership.
The question should be why Weinstein was protected by other executives. Loyalty? Indifference? Culpability?
Comparing Weinstein to Bill Clinton would have been far more accurate. I don't think Reiner would have went there, though. And what about Bill and Obama's friend Jeffrey Epstein? He makes Harvey Weinstein look like Fred Rogers.
I think Trump is the best comparison. How many people are actually on record saying that they just "grab her by the *****" because they are rich/famous? That's Trump, baby!
