Harvey Weinstein Hosts Hollywood Stars for Hillary Clinton Fundraiser [JUNE 2016]
Free Beacon ^ | June 20, 2016 | Brett Schur

Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein will be hosting a star-studded fundraiser for Hillary Clinton on Monday night in New York City.

The Democratic donor, who owns the Hamptons house next door to the $50,000-a-week vacation home the Clintons rented last summer, has already maxed out to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and contributed up to $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation.

His latest favor for his Hamptons pal will be hosting the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, and climate change hero Leonardo DiCaprio at his Manhattan home for a fundraiser benefitting the Hillary Victory Fund, according to the New York Post.

This is the second fundraiser Weinstein has held for Clinton this election. In October, Weinstein co-hosted a fundraiser with fashion designer Anna Wintour where attendees could get a picture with Clinton in exchange for a $2,700 donation.

Weinstein invited controversy last year after he was accused by a woman of groping her in his New York City office. The woman, a 22-year-old Italian model, said that Weinstein asked if her breasts were real and then grabbed them. He continued to touch her breasts even after being told to stop, said the model.

The model immediately called the police and provided investigators with a recording of Weinstein acknowledging that the incident did in fact happen. The district attorney’s office, however, said that the "available evidence" did not warrant a criminal charge.

The New York Times wrote that the groping allegations "cast a shadow over his image as a socially liberal business executive with ties to prominent Democratic politicians such as President Obama, former President Bill Clinton, and Hillary Rodham Clinton."

Weinstein, also one of the biggest fundraisers for President Obama, was criticized when his company attempted to auction off an internship for $50,000.

2016 article that included serious "groping" allegation regarding Harvey Weinstein.

Of course, the ultra-liberal Manhattan DA, Cy Vance, Jr. refused to prosecute despite a clear-cut case.

It seems that “grab ‘em by the t##s” is one of Harvey Weinstein’s mottos!

What would Hillary do without her sexual predators.

She really does find them, doesn’t she? Perhaps it’s that they are such a high proportion of power-seeking Demoncrap males (ok, some Republicans too).

I guess Ashley Judd will sit this one out. Oh wait, she is very busy attacking Trump.

The ENTIRE Left establishment is terrified of this case because it could expose the very corrupt connections between the Clintons and the entertainment industry. A lot of high-profile people in the entertainment industry could end up going to jail--and not for short stints, either.

“Hillary Victory Fund”

How’s that working for all those “high-minded” philanthropists that came out of the woodwork and claimed “I’m with her”?

Some investments just blow up all at once. The Clinton Family Foundation is beginning to resemble the high-flying days of Enron and Jeff Skilling.

Those two make a good pair. Hillary is a crook and Harvey makes a good poster boy for being obnoxious.

They knew. They knew all along. Clinton, 0bama, chuck Nancy, Ashley Judd, everyone knew he was a serial sexual assaulted. They kept their mouths shut, they took his money, they sang his praises, and he kept using his power to assault more young women.

They are more responsible for promoting a real rape culture than every drunken frat boys on all the college campuses.

Cy Vance should be hammered about his refusal to pursue the charges against Harvey Weinstein.

This quote is from a September 11, 2017 Deadline Hollywood article. It doesn't give the name of the producer who made the statement, but because of the description of this producer, I'm thinking it was Weinstein. The story has to do with her book release:

“You think it is a coincidence that she’s not coming to town?” a producer who was a repeat contributor to Clinton’s big bucks campaign told Deadline. “Come on, she knows she is toxic here right now,” the deep-pocketed Democrat added with a degree of bitterness about Clinton’s multi-city book tour that kicks off September 18 in Washington D.C. “They took everyone’s donations, made a lot of promises, and then left everyone holding the bag when she lost.”

My take at the last sentence of the quote was that Hollywood, and this particular Producer, had shelled out a lot of money to her, and now they wouldn't be getting any favors because she lost.

The original article thread was posted on FR, but here's the link to the actual article if anyone is interested:

No, that wouldn’t be Harvey Weinstein speaking as the anonymous “producer” — he is totally NYC based not LA based. He would not speak of Hillary not coming “here” in reference to LA, generally, because “here” for him is NYC.

Thanks for that great point. I guess you can tell how little I know of the movie making business. The only time I go to the theater to see a movie is when I visit my youngest son in Indiana once a year.

Thx, no worries! I only follow the movie world intermittently, I’d say I know more about it than the average person but far less about it than people who follow it all closely. Ofc, in recent years I have paid far less attention to it than 25 years ago.

Nowadays I only go for in-theater movie experiences around 2-3 times per year, and that may soon dwindle to zero, given the Hollyweird output.

The left wants Hillary to get off the stage. She won’t, so now they are going to throw her donors under the bus in hopes of getting her dirty too! Ha! Ha!
