The multiplying tentacles of the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal have touched a former president, a former presidential candidate and now a former presidential adviser.

Steve Bannon, the former Trump White House strategist and current head of Breitbart News, is the latest politico touched by the scandal. Bannon, whose website has hammered Democrats for accepting Weinstein’s political donations, himself profited off a relationship with the movie mogul, in an ill-fated joint venture more than a decade ago.

The AP has been tasked with finding ANYTHING to tie a Conservative to the Weinstein scandal.

Ill-fated joint venture is not “profit”.

Try and think back to all the movies you’ve seen and how many times you saw the Weinstein name on one. EVERYBODY has worked with him!

If we’re trashing everyone associated with Weinstein, that leaves the Democrat party a ghost-town.

Remember, NBC refused to carry the story.

Now Bannon is the bad guy?

LMAO

Leave Bannon alone.. I am waaay past gossip and childish behavior such as digging up anytbing they can from a lifetime ago. We didn’t used to see all the picky picky tattletale world that goes on today. It just shows they havent grown up .. and probably never will.

` Several months ago President Trump launched a focused Justice Department effort to investigate and pursue pedophile rings, child porn purveyors and sex trafficking operations.

The media tried to stay away from this story because it would play favorably with the moral middle class. But it could very well be that Harvey Weinstein and others who have been arrested or are currently embroiled in sex scandals since Trump’s election victory could be the result of information gathered through this effort.

It is also quite possible that DJT is quietly fighting back against the Hollywood elite that is so viciously attacking him and his family. He’s a fighter and he’s fighting for all of us.

Knowing that both Trump and Bannon have had careers in show biz and know plenty of people there, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that they are behind the Harvey Weinstein scandal. I think there is more to come and I also think plenty of folks in Hollywood aren't sleeping so well tonight.

I’ve “profited from” relationships with people I found repulsive, too. Business is business. If it isn’t illegal, immoral or unethical.....I’m in.

“Leave Bannon alone”

Tell that to the AP.

I hesitated posting this. But, I decided to show what the AP and the all of the other lefty media outlets are going to stoop to.

Did anyone profit from Solyndra? You betcha the CEO and executives did.

Was Solyndra ill-fated? To say the least it was.

A lot of people in Hollywood had partnerships with Weinstein, but that’s OK.
