Live TV The deafening silence of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on Harvey Weinstein
CNN ^ | October 10, 2017 | Chris Cillizza

On Tuesday morning, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, the Democratic party's 2016 vice presidential nominee, sat down for an interview on CNN's "New Day." Asked about the allegations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein, the deposed Hollywood mogul, Kaine said: "Any leader should condemn this. These allegations are low-life behavior."

By that definition, the last two Democratic presidents as well as the party's 2016 nominee are not leaders.

Five days after the New York Times broke the news that Weinstein, the head of Miramax and a major Democratic donor, faced a series of allegations of inappropriate behavior toward women over a several-decade span, neither Bill or Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has said a single word about the incidents.

What's remarkable about that silence is that Weinstein isn't, really, denying the allegations. In a long statement released in response to the Times story -- in which he quoted Jay Z and said he would take a leave of absence to focus on fighting the NRA -- Weinstein acknowledged: "I appreciate the way I've behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it

“These allegations are low-life behavior.”

“By that definition, the last two Democratic presidents as well as the party’s 2016 nominee are”....low-lifers.

Look at this carefully scripted leftist response trying to co-opt “snowflake”:

I read elsewhere that a woman had to see him in his hotel room, and he was wearing a bathrobe. In his hotel room. He didn’t flash her, touch her, say anything offensive, but he was in his hotel room in his bathrobe!!!!
I daresay had he been wearing a three piece suit and overcoat she would have cried because he was dressed oddly. I do not think today’s snowflakes could be much more feeble. Good job she did not meet him on the beach while he was wearing swimming trunks!
