Harvey Weinstein has made 185 significant individual donations to a variety of Democratic candidate and liberal-aligned organizations dating back to the early 1990s.
Hey Hillary… what happened?
“There is a toxic environment for women at this company,”
Money, power, connections, media… sex offender.
Harvey Weinstein, whose films have helped define American culture, apologized for behavior that he said “has caused a lot of pain.”
