Jimmy Kimmel on Weinstein: "I'm not defending Hillary Clinton. . . "

http://www.newsweek.com/jimmy-kimmel-roasts-donald-trump-and-harvey-weinstein-hillary-clinton-took-681373

I’m not defending Hillary Clinton. Her campaign did take money from what turned out to be a high-profile man who has been accused of sexual harassment multiple times. But not just one of them, by the way—she took money from two of them: Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump.”

Kimmel flashed images of Clinton posing with both Weinstein and Trump, who did indeed donate to her presidential campaign in 2008.

It's so that the idiot racist fuckheads who voted for self-professed rapist Trump can't complain about Clinton for taking money from a sexual predator.

Weinstein had settled with NDAs. On the other hand Trump supporters went out and voted for a guy who bragged about committing sexual assault.

so it is bad if you are supported by a bad guy?

Would that not include KKK and other racists, who voted for the Orange Toxin? The Rs should be shamed for that then.
