CNNs Wolf Blitzer spoke with RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel this afternoon, and they touched upon McDaniel publicly calling out Democrats over Harvey Weinsteins donations:
Blitzer asked McDaniel this afternoon, Should Republican candidates also return donations from people guilty of sexual harassment?
McDaniel said if the GOP had a donor at the level of Harvey Weinstein who gave so much money, she would agree candidates should give it back, but she added, I dont know of anybody whos had that background. And she again called on the DNC to give away all the money Weinstein gave to them.
Blitzer then noted the infamous comments from President Trump on the Access Hollywood tape, which led to McDaniel immediately saying, Its not even comparable. She continued:
To even make that comparison is disrespectful to the President. He didnt have eight settlements, he didnt have women coming forward saying whatI mean, Harvey Weinstein admits that he did that. This isnt even comparable.
