Good lord, the official statement from Harvey Weinstein is just awful. "Yeah, I sexually harassed eight women, but I'm *trying*." pic.twitter.com/UIyjXeXo3R

Lucky for him, he’s got a legal heavyweight in his corner: None other than the illustrious Lisa Bloom:
Lisa Bloom, a lawyer advising Mr. Weinstein, said in a statement that “he denies many of the accusations as patently false.” In comments to The Times earlier this week, Mr. Weinstein said that many claims in [former Weinstein employee Lauren] O’Connor’s memo were “off base” and that they parted on good terms.
Ms. Bloom, who has been advising Mr. Weinstein over the last year on gender and power dynamics, called him “an old dinosaur learning new ways.” She said she had “explained to him that due to the power difference between a major studio head like him and most others in the industry, whatever his motives, some of his words and behaviors can be perceived as inappropriate, even intimidating.”
In other words, according to Bloom, the litany of allegations against Weinstein are just a big misunderstanding. He’s an old man! He doesn’t know any better!

It’s nice that Lisa’s willing to give him the benefit of the doubt like that. Others weren’t as fortunate as Weinstein.
Lisa Bloom, who went after Donald Trump, is defending Harvey Weinstein.

Lisa Bloom is the lawyer who repped clients against Cosby and basically took O'Reilly down. So it's nice to see she has standards. pic.twitter.com/Dlci7PgRkX

No kidding.

Sure looks that way, doesn’t it?
Meanwhile, where’s the uproar from the Left? In the wake of the Las Vegas shooting, liberals and Dems were calling on Republican politicians to return donations from the NRA. So, by the same token, shouldn’t Democratic politicians return all the money they’ve gotten from Harvey Weinstein over the years? Lord knows there’s been plenty of it.
Harvey Weinstein is also a major Democratic donor. From last cycle: pic.twitter.com/MoprHxvLT9

This is highly problematic.

So this where firefighters leap into action and ask Schumer & Dems if they will be returning their donations right? https://t.co/E4JiHvxaM0

Pretty incredible the way Harvey Weinstein, a MAJOR Democratic donor, talks about sexually assaulting women. pic.twitter.com/xurZU4ZUHJ

Lisa Bloom and Democrats should be taking to the streets in their pu**y hats over this.
Weinstein is a sexual predator.
But he's also a big ol' Democrat so "feminist" lawyers like Lisa Bloom defend him.https://t.co/XpRGOwu0zB

Lisa Bloom wouldn't let a conservative / Republican get away with this shit.
But Weinstein is a Democrat so she let's it slide. https://t.co/7aBJ50QwFs

We will soon see how much slack being a Democrat mega-donor and Hollywood big wig gets you from the press.
— RBe (@RBPundit) October 5, 2017
Stay tuned, folks!
Should be interesting to which Hollywood stars who rightly criticized Bill O'Reilly + Fox suddenly go silent on Harvey Weinstein.
