If this was a passive aggressive way for Michael Ian Black to defend Democrats for taking money from ‘liberal kingmaker’ and all-around perv Harvey Weinstein it was an EPIC fail.
If you take legal political contributions from a person who later turns out to be a scumbag, why are you obliged to return it?

Oh we dunno. Could be that your party supposedly champions women and empowers their voices and politicians promising these things taking money from a known serial sexual abuser is not a good look, even for Democrats?
Just spitballin’.
Do charities do the same? If you accepted legally obtained money in good faith, isn’t your responsibility done once the transaction is made?
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) October 12, 2017
Politicians aren’t charities, Michael. Maybe this explains what’s wrong with Hollywood, they think donating to politicians is like donating to charity.
Oh boy.
Won’t someone please just think of the houseplants?!
Presumably you are putting money from a bad person to good use. Not a partisan question; I’m asking about politicians from both parties.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) October 12, 2017
Both parties, sure.
And presumably? You mean like fighting for legislation that makes abortion unlimitless? That sort of good use?
Why are you even doing this?

Because he’s trolling?
Because I have some $$$ I may have to return and it’s already spent on some non-refundable stuff.

*eye roll*
Maybe it is assumed that money equals influence in these cases?

Bingo.
Good question. I think it feels like dirty money so they want to rid themselves of it & make it clear they're not associated with the donor.

She gets it.
Michael doesn’t get it, but we all knew that already.
