Disgraced journo Mark Halperin has a book deal, with the help of over 75 prominent Democrats who shared their thoughts on the best way to beat Donald Trump in 2020:

This would be the same Mark Halperin that was fired over allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault:
sure, Mark Halperin stands accused of sexually assaulting several female colleagues, but he's writing about how to "get" Trump. So, here's a new book deal and some hot quote collaboration from 75 Democratic strategists. https://t.co/NtmIINg7cH

So, did Donna Brazile, David Axelrod and the rest of the Dems on this list ask him he really did pleasure himself in front of an ABC News employee?
“The new accusations from the four women include that Halperin masturbated in front of an ABC News employee in his office and that he violently threw another woman against a restaurant window“ https://t.co/Kaie9uZzmJ https://t.co/eNY2AgDCaw

One of Halperin’s alleged victims is speaking out:
Statement sent to me just now by Dianna Goldberg May, who has alleged that Halperin harassed her when they worked at @abcnews:
“When is Mark Halperin going to get it? And when are the people and organizations who enable him going to get it? Rehabilitating Mark's career…More

And LOL:
From the same editor who wanted to publish OJ Simpson’s “If I Did It.” https://t.co/kEWBM1v7BS

The best thing about all of this is how it, once and for all, exposes Dems on the hypocrisy of the #MeToo movement:
So, what has Mark Halperin done to help the same women whose careers he messed with before being outed? Anything? Or is he just working on his comeback… https://t.co/SWOC4w5QrO

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few days because journos are pretty pissed at the 75 Dems:
How many women are working hard in the journalism industry and getting their book pitches rejected (I never want to write a book, but I get others do) while you can be a repeat sexual harassment offender and average political pundit and get one? How does that work?

2. Perhaps the Democratic strategists who felt it was a good idea to speak to Mark Halperin want to hire him as a consultant. Her certainly does not deserve a media platform.
What a disgraceful situation

sickening. I looked at that list closely and made note.

Great, a list of 75 people who should not be trusted with the future of the Democratic Party.

We all know who Mark Halperin is now but it's disturbing that so many prominent Democrats have decided to help rehabilitate his career
It's gross pic.twitter.com/ml23LRXt5s

Reminder: This is exactly what they’re trying to do right now with Al Franken:
First they started to rehabilitate Al Franken's image, now Halperin is making a comeback. How long till Harvey Weinstein is making movies and donating to Democrats again? If you're liberal you will get a pass. https://t.co/h7j38TajjB

And we’ll be watching MSNBC to see if they call Halperin out:
I don't want to hear any more Me Too from MSNBC if they aren't coming down hard on this. https://t.co/al5TiHLGMH
