It all started with Ron Howard’s health insurance concern/question:
I have friends whose rates have gone up & I have a dr friend who says many were covered who weren't before. Will #Trump truly improve it? https://t.co/alsvuyzqrd

The director was asked to weigh in on Harvey Weinstein:
Where is your anti #HarveyWeinstein tweet, I don't see it anywhere. All of you Hollywood elites can't wait to bash trump meanwhile a known predator is one of you and you all keep your mouths shut because he can get your movies made. Appalling!! #HollywoodHypocrites pic.twitter.com/ZD4jV6Mb7I

We’ve seen the “but Trump” approach taken by some in Hollywood when it comes to Weinstein, but since Howard was asked, he tried to point out the differences:
Weinstein's a private citizen finally facing the consequences of his actions. #Trump works 4 & must be held accountable 2 us as he reps USA https://t.co/a0WCWAlsUJ

HMM. Bill Clinton unavailable for comment:
“Sexual predator” lol. Only without the accusers. Only 1 recent sitting President was a sexual predator, elected in ‘92.

But of course, according to Hillary (and apparently the Hollywood Left), Bill’s misdeeds are “in the past.”
But Hollywood never holds accountable Dem leaders, which is why people see the outrage as one-sided. Harvey is hypocrisy exposed.

Doesn't change the fact that many in Hollywood looked the other way and remained silent. Only now coming out when it's safe to do so.

Still waiting for Woody Allen and Roman Polanski’s reckoning…

Not very long ago Polanski, Allen and Weinstein were getting applause in Hollywood.
