"The behavior is inexcusable, but the abuse of power familiar," she said. "The intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes."

Meanwhile, backstage at the 2016 Democrat convention.

Broad statement for me to say, all. I can see why some hate each other. I think that mostly stems from one always kicking butt on the other in court. To me, it seems like its all a big game to see who can outwit who.

I don't dislike lawyers, my business partner is one. When you need one, you need one that hates to lose.

This scandal has provided so much POLIMERICK material

God! If he abused Meryl Streep, then he must be crazy!

We're talking about a guy who made women watch HIM taking a shower!

It wasn't about how hot an actress was or wasn't. It's about wielding power. Weinstein enjoyed humiliating people, men and women alike, and then forcing them to come groveling back to him on their hands and knees because in his own words, "I’m the f**king sheriff of this f**king lawless piece-of-s**t town!"

If he abused Streep or Dench it's because he could and they still had to thank him profusely and call him "God" from the podium when they accepted awards.

Am I the only one who never heard of guy taking women watch him shower. Is this something i missed in my 70 years.

[Slyfox]

Hey! Kathy Griffin has got someone else to blather about.

Thanks Harvey.

Crazy Ashley went along with this perv and said nothing. Her “career” was much more important. What a hypocritical POS.

[TBP]

BS, Meryl.

[Pirate Ragnar]

...and we need to hear from Meryl Streep...why?

[Blue Highway]

She seems ok here will Bill Clinton grabbing her by the wrists in a forceful manner. She has the look on her face like she would be a willing participant in his sexual advances.

The caption would be “Oh, take me,Mr.President!”

Streep is indeed an airhead. Her education has no bearing on it, just like John F. Kerry’s education doesn’t make him any lesser a boob. Formal educations do not isolate the party from being an “airhead.” Harry Truman, not highly educated, could never be called an “airhead.”

Streep lets herself be ruled by her emotions, not her brain.

“Not Everybody Knew”

She is an even better actress than Hollywood thinks if she can say something like that and neither laugh or throw up.

[utahagen]

I realize that Trump didn’t, in fact, mock that reporter for being disabled. However, I do think Streep thinks that he did. My point is that the only reason Streep cared about that is because she loathes Trump on account of his politics. And even if Trump DID mock that reporter — again, I do not think he did — that paled in comparison to what Polanski did, and Streep cheered for Polanski.

[MisterArtery]

I’m 74 and married the second time for 5 years. I was single 32 years between marriages. I’m short, bald and plain. I’m glad to say that during all those single years, with an active dating life, I never had a date with any woman as ugly as Meryl Streep.

[hecticskeptic]

Maybe... However, someone who would cheer for Polanski and turn a blind eye to what Weinstein and BJ Clinton did for decades can very easily promote a lie about Trump. In fact, it's a ‘small lie’ compared to the ‘big lies’ that were all part of her libtard existence.
