Something in the neighborhood of $1.8 million was raised at Harvey Weinstein’s star-packed fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in New York City Monday night, sources tell Deadline. The event for 50 or so Clinton supporters at Weinstein’s Manhattan home drew some major Hollywood names, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Candice Bergen, Bethenny Frankel and designers Vera Wang and Tory Burch.

On the other side - this has been around as an open secret for decades...
Then we learned that Weinstein’s defenders included lawyer Lisa Bloom, former special counsel to Bill Clinton Lanny Davis, and former Obama White House communications director Anita Dunn, while Weinstein lashed out against the NRA (!) in a personal statement.
We should now be at the point where intrepid journalists track down Democrat politicians and ask if they’ll return their donations from Hollywood, and where those celebrities distance themselves from Weinstein with blistering statements of their own.
Instead, we seem to be getting a big yawn from people who knew all of this all along but … didn’t care?
The various statements are at the link.
Um, what did you expect from the Roman Polanski crowd?
Also, this is the same group of people that attacked Monica Lewinsky.
Now let's be honest, I laugh at the idea that the repubs are any sort of "moral majority" but there is rampant hypocrisy (again both parties) on various issues and this is one of them.

To them, it's not hypocrisy... because they have no standards. His behavior is only a problem when the light of revelation shines - they see the outraged public, and they have to head for the tall grass.
You can only be hypocritical if you have standards (in their view). That's why they make a big deal of all of the moral stuff when the right does it - because they know standards exist on the right, and they can use those standards as leverage against certain politicians. But they really don't care.
This is an Alinsky tactic by the way... use their standards against them.
While The Weinstein Co. co-founder publicly championed women’s rights, his accusers say that he was a hypocrite, secretly propositioning them for massages, kisses and more. One month after Weinstein distributed “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about rapes on university campuses, he allegedly groped a college-aged woman in his office. Weinstein, 65, has a well-documented, on-the-record history of unflattering behavior, even against women (like in 2002, when he publicly berated director Julie Taymor at a screening of her film, “Frieda”). But because of the influence he wielded with stars and their cinematic vehicles, it took nearly three decades for a comprehensive investigation.
IndieWire mapped out where the producer’s career milestones and purported misdeeds with women intersect. We will update this as needed.
I'm sure the Hollywood libs will be the first to say that there shouldn't be a rush to judgment. Hypocrites.

Hollywood liberals and why haven't they come out to bash Weinstein like they bashed the President!
