What do the Hollywood award shows have in store in the future following all the news about Harvey Weinstein (if anything)?

Lecture me about feminism at the next Oscars. I dare them to do it.

Ha! But wait, ABC News chief political analyst Matthew Dowd is joining singer John Legend in presenting the “but Trump” quasi-defense of Weinstein:

Ummmm, shouldn't you be more worried about the sexual predator at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave?

— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 7, 2017

Nice attempted pivot. But some schooling was in order:

Is the pain of the women harassed by Weinstein less than those harassed by Trump? Why would I be less worried about them? Why are you?

Lauren Sivan didn’t get physically blocked & jerked off in front of by your preferred political target, so I should move along, I guess?

Ouch! But Dowd was undaunted in making Weinstein all about Trump:

Weinstein has stepped down, what are you doing about Trump?

— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) October 7, 2017

Weinstein is taking leave to devote all his energy to battling the NRA, which is another attempted distraction altogether — a distraction Dowd seems happy to help with:

I am not. I have spoken out against it all. But isn't it a bigger problem of who is in WH rather than who dems got money from?

Now he went and did it…

To those women, no, so forgive me if I don’t shut my lil lady mouth about it bc you think my months of denunciation of Trump aren’t enough
