As Twitchy told you, former Obama NatSec spokesman Tommy Vietor accidentally busted Democrats for their staggering hypocrisy by pointing out that Harvey Weinstein “has been a well-known scumbag for a long time.”
Looks like Favreau and Vietor need to huddle up, cause they're telling different tales about who knew what when. https://t.co/BnVtP11pll

Vietor’s admission makes this from pal and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau extra-problematic:
Does Trump's behavior excuse Weinstein's?
And, if Dems rightly condemned Trump, then they also should condemn Weinstein. https://t.co/JCKZSJBV3e

Which Democrat has defended Weinstein? This is exactly the kind of bullshit narrative YOU create that makes people crazy
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) October 6, 2017
Don't spin it Jon it's not about defending him, they need to condemn him and return his cash.

Harvey Weinstein is a monstrous piece of shit if these allegations are true. I don't know a single Democrat who would disagree with that.
— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) October 6, 2017
What about all the Democrats who got their pictures taken with him? All the Democrats who haven’t returned all the rapey money he gave to them?
Really brave to return a donation from a well-known scumbag after he gets caught. *slow clap* https://t.co/7tGKNu4fPz

I had zero idea until I heard about reporters working on the story a few months ago, and I live in LA.

Yeah, but Tommy said you guys all knew, so … this looks bad, Jon. No matter how you try to spin it.
So, are you condemning him, or no? Simple yes or no will do.
The "well..I didn't DEFEND him" bullshit is also what drives people crazy.

That's why this tweet is such bullshit. Which Democrat defended him? All of them for thirty years. https://t.co/YtIiLWaJUE

"Why aren't Dems condemning Weinstein?:
Jon: We haven't defended him! We should get points for that.
No Jon
Fuck you Jon https://t.co/3e7cCXHbRc— PoliMath (@politicalmath) October 6, 2017
LOL, y'all knew and pocketed his money. At least have the grace to be embarrassed about it. https://t.co/BAiYiO196v
