‘My pain is everyday’: After Weinstein’s fall, Trump accusers wonder: Why not him?
MSN / Washington Post ^ | October 21, 2017

Posted on 10/21/2017 5:50:55 PM PDT by SMGFan

Almost a year after New Yorker Jessica Leeds and other women stepped forward with harrowing accounts of being sexually assaulted by a powerful man, another scandal with similar elements exploded.

Only this time, the punishment was swift and devastating. “It is hard to reconcile that Harvey Weinstein could be brought down with this, and [President] Trump just continues to be the Teflon Don,” said Leeds, who claims she was groped 30 years ago on a plane by the man whose presence she cannot escape now that he sits in the Oval Office. In Florida, Melinda McGillivray, was having much the same reaction.

The liar on the plane was totally discredited by eye witness. She was annoying Trump and said she wanted to marry him.

It’s called real sexual harassment vs claims of harassment that were false accusations. Many were proven to be just that to..

Many women, inspired by a #MeToo campaign, have taken to social media to tell their own stories, and calls to the National Sexual Assault Hotline have risen sharply.

I'm friends with one of Trump's "accusers"... in fact she was the New York Times lead "accuser" in their hit piece:

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/15/us/politics/donald-trump-women.html

She was absolutely livid when that came out... they wrote the exact opposite of what she said in the interview. She went on Fox and others in the following days to try and set the record straight, but to no avail... the MSM prefers to cling to their lies.

I always had the feeling that these all of a sudden victims were fabricated to torpedo his election chances, not because he actually did anything ... which was confirmed in my mind when they magically disappeared after he was elected.

It's time for everyone to grow up. If you have a criminal complaint, call the cops; if you have civil claim, call a lawyer. At this point, the women who may have legitimate gripes against Harvey Weinstein are being undermined by every wannabe who responds to dopey Alyssa Milano’s hashtag “Me Too” campaign. In the real world, there is a process for lodging complaints. There seem to be a few people, such as Rose McGowan, who really were burned by following the process, and I say, “Have at it”, since she'll have to deal with the fall-out from violating the agreement she signed; with regard to many of the Johnny-come-latelys: being hit on isn't the same as being raped. Grow up!

Trump leered in their general direction and made a sexist comment during a private conversation that was captured on a live microphone... The horror, the horror.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is accused of masturbating in front of Paula Jones, sexual assault on many other woman and rape by Kathleen Willey... Add to that, he engaged in sexual relations with a 20 year old intern in the oval office and the press ignored and continues to ignore it to this day. If any figure past or present reminds one of Harvey Weinstein and his pathetic behaviour, it’s Bill Clinton. But does the mainstream press every refer to him when they talk about Harvey??? The hypocrisy of the mainstream press is astounding.

” “It is hard to reconcile that Harvey Weinstein could be brought down with this, and [President] Trump just continues to be the Teflon Don,”

It is hard to reconcile that Hitler could be brought down, but America’s Nazi propaganda cult at the Washington Post continues on.

There's plenty of people in prison who feel the same about Hillary.
