Current and former aides to Hillary Clinton ganged up on Anthony Bourdain on Twitter after Bourdain criticized Clinton for her delayed response to the sexual harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
Clinton received criticism for initially staying silent after the New York Times reported last week that several women have accused Weinstein, the powerful Hollywood producer and Democratic mega-donor, of sexual harassment, assault, and even rape. The New Yorker subsequently published a story detailing how Italian actress Ambra Battilana Gutierrez staged a sting operation with the police, during which she secretly recorded Weinstein admitting he groped her and that he does so to other women often.
Weinstein has donated thousands of dollars to Clinton throughout her political career. He maxed out donations ($5,400) to Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign and gave more than $30,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between Clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and more than 30 state Democratic parties.
The Hollywood mogul has also given at least $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Five days after the initial Times story broke, amid growing criticism, Clinton released a statement condemning Weinstein.
"I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein," Clinton said in the statement. "The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior."
Clinton then conducted an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, clips of which aired Wednesday night, in which the former presidential candidate said she would re-donate the money she received from Weinstein, but did not specify where it would go.
Bourdain, host of CNN's "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown," criticized Clinton for her tepid response on Wednesday night.

Yeah, besides, he's probably sexually intimidated more than a few young boys himself.
In the world that these lefties want, Bourdain would have been taken to the basement of Lubyanka prison and shot, but they just don’t get it.
The people they worship and donated lots of money to are turning on them, uh oh.
Liberal scumbag 1 attacks liberal scumbag 2.
Liberal scumbag 2’s liberal scumbag sycophants attack liberal scumbag 1.
MAGA
Clinton’s don’t take a dump without a focus group.
Anthony Bourdain doesn't seem like the kind of guy to back down from a good fight. I will wager it will get nasty and that Queen Hillary will once again, end up looking like a confused-out-of-touch fool.
It is time that she just retired from public life.
