Hurricane Harvey (Weinstein)

Yeah, you’re right, Republicans. Hillary knew all about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual escapades. The woman who has focused her life’s work and political career on the empowerment and protection of women and girls knew she was “paling around” with a sexual predator, but persisted regardless – obviously secure in the knowledge that if the Republicans got hold of such information, they would simply ignore it in the same way they ignored Benghazi and her emails.

The “everyone knew about Harvey Weinstein” meme is a rather staggering claim, considering that if everyone DID know, that “everyone” would have included GOP operatives. But amazingly enough, not a single person – Republican and/or out-and-out Hillary haters – used that “widespread information” to undermine HRC’s 2016 campaign. That strikes me as rather odd – in fact, it strikes me as ludicrous, laughable, and totally implausible.

HRC’s alleged knowledge of Weinstein’s true nature would have been a political bombshell – and yet we are supposed to believe that “everyone knew”, including the GOP, and remained silent.

Of course, what “everyone knows” is that people like Weinstein regularly flaunt their sexual predalictions when moving in political circles. They NEVER hide their true nature; they NEVER maintain a façade in order to be accepted into “polite society”. They NEVER fail to inform the politicians they donate to of the fact that they’re rapists. Ergo, surely Hillary must have known Weinstein’s history; surely he told her that he was fund-raising for her campaign in hopes of meeting some young, vulnerable women he could prey on – and she simply chose to ignore it.

Hillary had to have known about Weinstein – because “everyone” knew. Just like everyone outside of the pharmaceutical industry, the banking industry, the legal industry, and the stock broker industry KNOW what goes on with individuals within industries in which they don’t work, and have no connection to. There has NEVER been a situation where “everyone didn’t know” the things that only industry insiders know.

If you believe that Hillary knew about Weinstein – who epitomizes everything she has publicly fought against – and continued to accept his donations and his support, you have to be Trump-grade stupid.

If you believe that Hillary was aware of Weinstein’s behaviour and decided to ignore it – fully knowing it could destroy her political career – you are Trump-grade stupid.

If you believe that “everyone knew” about Weinstein and the GOP didn’t use that “everyone knows” knowledge to their advantage, you are Trump-grade stupid.

If you believe that the Obamas knew Weinstein’s history and sent their daughter to intern for his company anyway, you are Trump-grade stupid.

And the only thing that “everyone knows” is that Trump-grade stupid is as stupid as anyone gets.
