Vox Reporter: Mark Halperin ‘Was the Harvey Weinstein of Media’
Breitbart ^ | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/27/2017 4:16:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Vox reporter Liz Plank said on Thursday that Mark Halperin, the disgraced former prominent Morning Joe panelist who has been accused of sexually harassing and assaulting multiple women while he was the political director at ABC News, “was the Harvey Weinstein of media.”

“I’m receiving texts today from women in media who are older, younger, new to media. And a very sort-of-junior reporter told me that one of the first things she was told when she started working on the campaign trail was she was warned about Mark Halperin,” Plank said during a CNN appearance. “So, in a way, he was the Harvey Weinstein of media.”

Plank added that she hoped “there will be more women who have the courage to come forward about their stories.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t think that he is an exception,” she continued. “That’s very worrying because you look at someone like Mark Halperin, someone like Harvey Weinstein, these are men who are at the top of their industries. And who are in control of the stories that we tell and the the narratives that we choose to talk about.”

Five women told CNN, in a story published Wednesday evening, that Halperin sexually harassed or assaulted them while he was the political director at ABC.

“The first meeting I ever had with him was in his office and he just came up from behind — I was sitting in a chair from across his desk — and he came up behind me and [while he was clothed] he pressed his body on mine, his penis, on my shoulder,” one woman told CNN.

Hey, this just what Liberals do.

After all, in a world of moral relativism, this isn't actually wrong, is it?

I was surprised to find out yesterday that Mark Halperin is a sexual harasser. This guy is a total hypocrite.

And during this time, both hollywood and MSM FEIGNED and FAKED outrage over Trump’s Access Hollywood tape.

Hollywood/MSM lecture everyone about ‘morality’ and ‘equality’ yet they can act like or put up with their own Harvey Weinsteins.

Didn't Paul Anka have a hit by that name?

I’m pleased that President Trump’s successful battle against the sleazy MSM is empowering these women to come forward to expose the scumbags who dominate it...MAGA!

Haven’t these girls ever heard of “drop dead” “eff off” or running? No, some of them are calculating what it will gain them and how to act so as not to pi88 off someone who could help them. That’s folked up.

Great author, but the sheer overwhelming schadenfreude I am experiencing this morning as this sanctimonious lefty is taken down is indecent.

Sigh...if only it could be this way every time.

We are witnessing the simultaneous collapse of two key Democratic narratives- The GOP War on Women and the Trump-Russia Collusion. It’s delicious.

And on two fronts, Hollywood and the MSM. Note both of these are self-inflicted. Trump and the right did not do anything to precipitate this. This is truly delicious.

Halperin: Hey baby, what does THAT feel like?

Female: Like a man’s penis, except much smaller.

This is the same guy who stated that Trump’s election was like WW2 and 9/11 on the ‘Circus’.
