Mmmmmm.....that’s an odd Biden pick.

Ex-Sen Chris Dodd spent many years in Hollywood heading The Motion Picture Association of America until he retired recently.

Dodd was there during the years when Harvey Weinstein (now in jail) was raping and molesting young women.

What did Dodd know about Weinstein?
What did Dodd do about Weinstein?
What did Dodd do about protecting young women from Weinstein?
What did the MPA do about protecting young women?

WIKI-—The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is an American trade association representing the five major film studios of the United States, as well as the video streaming service Netflix. Founded in 1922 as the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) and known as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) from 1945 until September 2019, its original goal was to ensure the viability of the American film industry. In addition, the MPAA established guidelines for film content which resulted in the creation of the Production Code in 1930. This code, also known as the Hays Code, was replaced by a voluntary film rating system in 1968, which is managed by the Classification and Rating Administration (CARA).

More recently, the MPA has advocated for the motion picture and television industry, with the goals of promoting effective copyright protection, reducing piracy, and expanding market access. It has long worked to curb copyright infringement, including recent attempts to limit the sharing of copyrighted works via peer-to-peer file-sharing networks and by streaming from pirate sites. Former United States Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin is the chairman and CEO-—replacing ex-Sen Chris Dodd.
