This is a must read tweetstorm from author and former music journalist Thomas Wictor on how everyone in Hollywood knew about Harvey Weinstein, yet tolerated it. It’s 39-tweets long, but well worth it:
(1) Harvey Weinstein.
I knew about him in 1993.
Everybody did. pic.twitter.com/v9bKGIRedl

(2) I spent ten years in Hollywood, working as a music journalist.
Published two books about it.https://t.co/nmiYE7SeUZ

(3) And this one.https://t.co/ineIekDGCq

(4) Things were very different in 1992-2002.
Back then, PRINT was king.

(5) I worked for prestigious music publications. This was my best piece ever. pic.twitter.com/fUecDzxWKV

(6) Two geniuses–Jim Roberts and Karl Coryat–let me write for them because I was GOOD.
They fulfilled my dream.

(7) The way Hollywood worked back then was that celebrities hired independent publicists.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(8) The publicists represented multiple clients. I was invited to more parties than I can count, as a way to butter me up.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(9) Publicists represented established stars and up-and-comers.
So I had entrée into Hollywood's A-list.

(10) I also guides, a married couple who worked in Hollywood and got off on the total depravity.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(11) This couple was nice to me, and they helped advance my career, so I put up with the endless talk of what people did.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(12) I knew about Weinstein as early as 1993.
So did everybody else.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
Now here comes the part where he goes after Hollywood leftists who went after Trump:
(13) All these leftist actresses expressing shock are LYING.
The ones who attack Trump are fully aware of Weinstein's history.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(14) See, most actresses will do anything to make it big. Weinstein had all access to as many pussy hats as he wanted.
But THAT'S no fun!
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(15) It's only fun when you cause people to suffer.
And EVERYBODY gave Harvey a free pass.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(16) Look at the date of THIS.https://t.co/BI1Ai6qKaM
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(17) Remember how Jennifer Lawrence said nature itself is angry at Donald Trump?
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(18) Who's your pal, Jen?
Look at her face. pic.twitter.com/dF5pwgJ1jX
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(19) All that matters to leftists is that the correct words be spoken.
Saying the right things gives you freedom to be a monster.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(20) Lisa Bloom is the perfect exemplar of the leftist ethos.https://t.co/mfBEn7nN6w
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(21) That article shows how utterly compromised ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(22) In Hollywood, youth is a commodity. Males and females are fed to the pigs.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(23) What makes it so preposterous is that Hollywood isn't even making good product anymore, and actors are miserable.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(24) The only people thriving are pig-men who sate their appetites.
And ALL THE WOMEN KNOW.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(25) I have dirt on hundreds of people. They're racists, hypocrites, druggies, and sexual deviants.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
And this is a terrifying thought:
(26) But none of these people are criminals. So I won't reveal their names.
But as bad as you think Hollywood is, it's much worse.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(27) The operative word is "compromised."
People sell their souls. And what happens?
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(28) In "Scarface," Al Pacino tells you what happens. pic.twitter.com/x8bWgxbPS1
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(29) You become a pig. On all levels.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(30) An Iraqi Shia cleric said one of the most profound things I've ever heard.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(31) He was asked if he wanted booze and nightclubs banned in Iraq.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(32) "No," he said. "If you have no opportunity to sin, then you can't call yourself a moral person."
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(34) But Hollywood rationalizes its sins and CRIMES by puking out leftist talking points.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(35) And the young men and women–and the children–are fed to the pigs.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(36) Al Pacino plays Satan in "The Devil's Advocate." pic.twitter.com/B1xlAbvRCs
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(37) "Vanity is DEFINITELY my favorite sin," he says.
It's because vanity leads to all the OTHER sins and crimes.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(38) Every one of these leftist actresses who hate Trump?
They're ALL covering up for the pig-men.
— Thomas Wictor (@ThomasWictor) October 10, 2017
(39) Electoral extermination is the only thing that these people will understand.
In 2018 and 2020, remember the pig-men.
