Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton broke her silence Tuesday on sexual harassment allegations against former film studio executive Harvey Weinstein, who has donated to Clinton's past campaigns.
"I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein," Clinton said in a 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."
The New York Times published an investigative report last week on Weinstein, a major Democratic donor, alleging the Hollywood film mogul paid off sexual harassment accusers for decades. The Weinstein Company’s board subsequently fired Weinstein after the allegations against him grew.
Weinstein told the Times last week: “I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I’m trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go.”
On Tuesday, The New Yorker published further accounts of sexual assault and harassment by the film executive, including three women who said Weinstein raped them.
Until Tuesday, Clinton remained silent on the topic, even as conservatives — including Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. — criticized the former first lady for failing to criticize Weinstein.
"Weird, Hillary has been really quiet about Harvey Weinstein. You would think she would be all Over this. #WhatHappened?" Trump tweeted.
Weinstein donated heavily to Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and the party's senatorial and House campaign committees, according to nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics data and reported by the Associated Press.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, other prominent Democrats, and the DNC said they will redirect past Weinstein donations to charities.
The president, for his part, told reporters on Saturday that he was "not surprised" about the allegations.
“I’ve known Harvey Weinstein for a long time. I’m not at all surprised to see it," President Donald Trump said outside the White House.
BUT — Is she going to give his money back???

Looks like she got the results from the focus group.
She and Weinstein were next door neighbors in the Hamptons.
She knew about it. She was involved.
Hell’s Bell’s, she probably baked cookies for them whilst Bubba and Harrrrrrvvvv swapped stories about their conquests and how easy it was to get away with it........damn perverts!!!
One has to wonder from where all the payoff's came? Weinstein's personal piggy-bank, or his 'company'? I think the company cut old Harv loose when they realized that they were footing the bill, and so are complicit.
Hillary is back with her focus group-approved answers.
Believe me, it was way more than baking cookies.....
Have you seen the photos of her with Harvey?
And he gave her campaign $15million.....

Absolutely right. These people will say anything to get the result they want. It’s all propaganda.
