NOW somebody’s gone and done it:
Interesting to see how this observation from @Bourdain is triggering Hillary’s minions today. He puts his finger… 1/ https://t.co/Hfi8zL4gZv

It’s true, Anthony Bourdain tinkered around in the Twitter kitchen until he discovered the recipe for major Dem backlash:
And I have to say, Hillary's interview with Fareed Zakaria was shameful in its deflection and its disingenuousness.
— Anthony Bourdain (@Bourdain) October 11, 2017
know what Hillary Clinton is NOT? She's not stupid. Or unsophisticated about the world. The Weinstein stories had been out there for years
— Anthony Bourdain (@Bourdain) October 11, 2017
Mindless Hillary hate aside, this was a terrible response to questions about a "friend" who's been tormenting women for decades.

I have met Hillary Clinton. I liked her. I admired much about her. This interview was a real disappointment.
— Anthony Bourdain (@Bourdain) October 11, 2017
And a little later:
Secretary Clinton was one of the most intelligent, well prepared, well briefed politicians ever. So, yes. I'd hoped for a better response

Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon responded with an eloquent defense of the 2016 Dem nominee. Just kidding:
Go eat a scorpion or something.https://t.co/jlKBC2TDmI

That’s “the jerk store called…” of culinary comebacks.
Clinton adviser Adam Parkhomenko also slammed Bourdain:
On Hillary Clinton’s wedding anniversary, @Bourdain had nothing better to do than attack her. Sad. https://t.co/LbeQzL8V7s
— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) October 12, 2017
Hillary’s spokesman Nick Merrill weighed in:
Seriously @Bourdain, get a grip. She did an honest interview, condemned HW, is returning contributions. I’m tossing all my @LuckyPeach mags. https://t.co/YcShUYfX4t
— Nick Merrill (@NickMerrill) October 12, 2017
And they weren’t the only Clinton supporters/defenders not happy with Bourdain’s comments about Hillary and Harvey Weinstein:
seems to me like the woman sec. state who hadn't heard them is a lot less complicit than the male TV chef who had! https://t.co/9QkC3vUzbs

You misspelled “I apologize for contributing to the ridiculous narrative that turns the focus to Hillary Clinton, who is in no way responsible for Harvey Weinstein’s disgusting behavior.”

Know what Hillary Clinton is also NOT? Responsible for this.

His timeline is disgusting. “I respect her, but…” about 30 times. This is not about Hillary. https://t.co/qU1MbExXUZ

Stick to the salad, kid. This is a crap look. https://t.co/AJjFMVHRuz

You know what else Hillary is not? She's not a gossip. Ppl who don't gossip seldom get told gossip–what Weinstein's crimes were til now. https://t.co/grXkAFOEOy
— Hillary Persists and so do we (@HRCpersists) October 12, 2017
No. You don’t get time. Stop feeding into rape culture by putting this onto women. You are part of the problem.

Apparently it was up to Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton alone to do something about Harvey Weinstein.
