Remember all the outrage that Democrats had over now-President Donald Trump when that Access Hollywood tape came out?

“I can’t believe that I am saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” Michelle Obama said. “And I have to tell you that I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted.”

Now that we know that Harvey Weinstein’s patterns of sexual abuse were so obvious to everyone who knew him, it puts her shock in a different light, doesn’t it?  Especially since 19 year old Malia Obama was an intern this year at the Weinstein Company’s New York City office.  It should be said that Weinstein gave a lot of money to Barack Obama’s campaign. In November 2013, Michelle thanked Weinstein. “This is possible because of Harvey,” she said. “He is a wonderful human being, a good friend and just a powerhouse,”

Also, Hillary Clinton — you remember her?  The female Democratic candidate for President last year who has blamed misogyny for her loss?  — has said nary a word on Weinstein:

As Instapundit wrote, “The only Girl Power that Hillary has ever been interested in is her own, but how to interpret Obama’s reticence, given his status as our most vociferous former President?”

With all the hysteria over Donald Trump’s Access Hollywood tape, you’d think these paragons of women’s rights would speak out and denounce their sugar daddy.  I won’t hold my breath.
