"Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein," Mr. Obama said in the statement. "Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture -- including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect -- so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future."

The Obamas' 19-year-old daughter, Malia, interned for Weinstein's company. Weinstein raised millions for Democrats and hosted fundraisers Obama attended while he was president.

 

 

Disgusted about the reports? Sounds like they did not like them reaching the light.

 

Should they not be disgusted about what he has done?

Couldn't say. All we know is Trump is as much a sexual predator as Weinstein.

He is?  Is there proof, or a stained dress?

There is proof of many inappropriate instances and sexual misconduct, lawsuits and women who have come forward, google is your friend. The hypocrisy is sickening when the grab them by the p.... words out of his own mouth are totally ignored. Anyone pointing fingers to sexual misconduct done by others and excusing Trump and his many sexual escapades can't be taken seriously and lost credibility.

Lawsuits?  Google is my friend, and Google tells me that twice a woman tried to file a suit against Trump for conduct over 20 years ago, and twice it was shot down and never went to court.  

 

But hey, as long as someone stands up during his rise to the presidency and makes the claim, after letting it go for 20 years, it must be true, eh?

Harth settled out of court. It was not 'shot down'.

It was not just 'someone' it was a string of women.
Since you see no problem with his own words on the video about groping women's genitals, that he can get away with it because he is powerful and wealthy,
I have nothing further to talk to you about. You have to live with your double standard. I am not here to convince you of reality and truth if lies are easier to digest
for you go for it, I wouldn't want to destroy your blind faith in fairy land eh ?

It would have taken less words and less effort to admit you were wrong and that you have nothing else to say.

 

No, it was not settled out of court.  She dropped the charges.  

 

I see no problem with his own words, because they were taken out of context, and used to try and smear his campaign.  I have heard women use similarlanguage about hot guys they’d like to “know better”.  I have heard men use similar language about girls they’d like to “know more about”.  (Family friendly and all that). It’s human nature to talk like than in certain situations.  99.9% of the time, it’s silly braggadacio.

 

I don’t have a double standard.  I am who I am, and quite proud of it.  But when you make up stories on a public forum, expect to be called out about it.  It’s not about you, personally, because I like and agree with a lot of what you post.  But when you say there is “proof”... well, perhaps our legal system uses a different definition, because I cannot find where he was ever tried for rape.  If he was, and found guilty, then I would be all for a private cell with no window for life.  Or a much simpler fate, but I have gotten into trouble for staying that view on here before, so I shall leave it there.

The hollywood child molesters need to be exposed while we are at it.

In April 1997, Jill Harth Houraney filed a $125,000,000 lawsuit against Trump for sexual harassment in 1993, claiming he "'groped' her under her dress and told her he wanted to make her his 'sex slave'". Harth voluntarily withdrew the suit when her husband settled a parallel case.

OK, her husband filed a suit in a parallel case and he settled, so she dropped the charges, she herself did not settle neither was your claim of "shot down" correct.

"Know better"  and  "know more about"  is a far cry from "grabbing genitals of whoever he wants because he is famous and wealthy" according to his own words.
It is more than braggadacio, it is disgusting.

Then we have the rape allegations, once the case was dropped due to technicalities with an address and later she didn't show up because of threats to her life.
I am not saying he raped her, I am saying he had several women step forward to claim sexual misconduct. He is not squeaky clean AS HE HIMSELF IS HEARD CLEARLY
ON THE VIDEO CLIP and for which you are making excuses.
