...(But so is Trump)

• Lorne Michaels was filmed leaving SNL's after-party in New York at about 4am
• When he was asked why the show avoided the Weinstein controversy, he smiled and responded: 'It's a New York thing'
• An audience member has since revealed the cast did try out a Weinstein joke during a dress rehearsal but it was cut before it went to air
• The joke apparently got a big reaction from the audience
• SNL regularly pokes fun of President Donald Trump who hails from New York

If SNL was still about comedy rather than Democrat party propaganda, no doubt that Weinstein skids would write themselves!

Instead the people get more leftist lies from the neo-Soviet elite!

Weinstein will likely be able to pin the crapola back on Lorne a Doon.

A theory within ‘pedogate’ is that they won’t turn on each other for fear of being exposed themselves.

I thought Columbus Day and Donald Trump were New York things too.

[rbg81]

Gee Trump is from NYC too. Don’t recall him getting any kind of pass.

[MountainWalker]

It’s a new york Jewish liberal thing. That’s why dirtbags like him and John Stuart Liebowitz changed their last names - to avoid trashing their heritage with their leftist douchebaggery.

Next time somebody comments on Trump’s “boorish behavior” .... point to the Harvey Winestein story.

Winestein’s behavior goes far beyond boorish. The man used his successful Hollyood status to prey on women, to manipulate and demean them. He performed outrageous disgusting acts on his person in their presence.

Looking at this slovenly, disturbed individual, his sexual aggression no doubt stemmed from his inability to find companionship and sexual satisfaction on his looks and personality, alone (of which he has neither).

He is a disgrace to the honor and dignity of the Jews and to the humanity inherent in Jewish tradition.

Actor Daniel Day Lewis said it best: He told Harvey to his face, “the only thing that works for you is filmmaking.......you’re a total disaster as a person.”

Democrats who sucked up to this monster to get his support and his money, should be publicly shamed as often as possible.

[jjotto]

Does he really mean, ‘It’s a New York Jew thing’? Or is it because anything joked about Weinstein would be equally applicable to Lorne’s own proclivities?

[dfwgator]

Isn’t Lorne Canadian?

[bert]

Comcast is an American enemy. Worse than Al Qeada

[Ted Grant]

Trump’s from the city you know...

[gaijin]

I believe Lorne Michaels’ real name is Lorne lippowitz.

Lorne lippowitz flows so well I can understand why he changed it to something not nearly as catchy.

[cba123]

I think this (really) plays to middle America.

Everyone so get it, that Trump is from NYC also.

And SNL is completely on a bash-Trump kick since he was elected.

Yet Weinstein, get a pass. Very creepy. Very, very leftist.

Obviously so.

[babble-on]

One wonders whether Lorne Michaels has any skeletons on his casting couch, too, perhaps?

[kearnyirish2]

Years ago people I know watched SNL; I don’t think any of them do anymore. It is a weekly Dem commercial for younger people...

[drpix]

I checked: You're right about his birth name (Lipowitz) and he was born in Israel on a "kibbutz" (Jewish socialist farm) but then lived in Canada from infancy till coming to US at 24.

Wasn't America lucky?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I can’t believe Weinstein’s accused of sexually harassing women, I always thought he liked boys.

[cincinnati65]

You know, sometimes when I hear stories like this, and the Dolphins assistant that used cocaine, I think there’s this entire celebrity sub-culture of drug-using, sex with who (or what) you want any time you want degenerates running around out of control. I think they’re firmly entrenched in Washington, as well as the entertainment and sports arenas. All swept under the rug in the ultimate “don’t ask, don’t tell”. They just act like it’s so “normal”, that I’m convinced it’s the ‘norm’.

[captmar-vell]

It’s obvious that Lorne Michaels is guilty of the same thing,

The fact that pervert Weinstein is an Obama creature DNC enabler is just SNL buying more than the basic cable subscription,

The real story for me is why did the NYTs even report on it? And why now?

There is more is going on here,

[MayflowerMadam]

“Gee Trump is from NYC too.”

And Trump has done a thousand times more for NYC than that perv Weinstein.
