Weinstein is a convicted rapist. What goes through your mind . Thats what he is. A rapist. But first the neat line five. Numbe good evening. Thank you for joining us. Trailing in the polls and throwing jabs on the debate stage, the democratic president ial candidates hoping to take up front runner status. Now the primary in South Carolina. Trying to win over black voters. South carolina, spanish moss sw swings low. Were here on the ground days before South Carolinas primary, riding through the state by bus, meeting voters on the picket lines and pews and challenging the candidates. Because you are mayor of south bend, indiana you dont get people of color. That process of earning trust can take time. Reporter this saturdays primary, the last before super tuesday is a test for these hopefuls. Hello, hello, hello. Reporter the first time america will see how they connect with black voters. Africanamericans make up twothirds of the electorate here. Theyre essential. Reporter at tonights debate, the fight for the democratic nomination couldnt be more fiery. Im not over time. You spoke over time and im going to talk. Reporter tonight, Bernie Sanders is the front runner taking in incoming. I think would make a better president than bernie. I do not think this is the best person to lead the ticket. Vladimir putin thinks donald trump should be president of the united states, and thats why russia is helping you get elected. Im hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight. I wonder why. Reporter for some people, tonights debate was a reminder, this process is not perfect. Im conscious of the fact that theres seven peopwhite pe on this stage. When this process started more than a year ago, 20 candidates, diverse, africanamerican, women, latino. This party has got to reevaluate the time, the calendar, because if South Carolina had gone first, every one of those people would still be in the race. Says a lot that at this point weve got more billionaires on the stage than we have people of color on the stage. Reporter Cliff Albright is the cosfoufounders of black vo matter. Going on bus tours all across the south. Now theyre here in South Carolina. Were kicking off our tour here in charleston, ready to hit communities, to help people get prepared for the upcoming primaries. Reporter we travel with them to low country. Towns like bluffton. A local group is hosting a strategy session. People lost their lives to vote. Im not here to geoff you any answers to your problems. Because you already have them. I know black folk arent a monolith. Its important to create those relationships ms. Reporter the next day theyre up the coast, hosting an event. Cliff says their campaign is about empowerment and encouraging voters to look critically at the candidates. Were basing our preference on who we think white folks would vote for. Were fearful of what could happen if we pick the wrong person and were not able to beat donald trump. Reporter hes critical of Mike Bloomberg, joe biden and Pete Buttigieg who he says demonstrate they truly care about communities of color. If you dont have a track record on these issues we cant take you reporter on sunday morning at the First Baptist church on james island, Pete Buttigieg is here trying to connect with an audience he has struggled with. It is especially humbling, in the middle of black History Month to think about what it means to stand before africanamerican voters and ask them for their vote. Reporter as mayor of south bend, indiana, buttigieg has been criticized for his handling of a Police Shooting involving a black man and for policies that demolished housing in largely africanamerican neighborhoods. His support from voters here is in single digits. But janiesha harts mind might be changes. I definitely loved what he had to say. Hes the opposite of what we have in washington now. I think he got my vote today. Reporter buttigieg was the churchs guest today. But he hosted his own event. But look closely at the audience. Ive been a professional journalist longer than youve been alive. Ive never been to a political event at a black church where the majority of the audience was white. How do you explain that . At the last event we were at reporter in this church. I thought you were talking about the church we were at yesterday. Reporter no, this one here. I dont know the full makeup of the crowd, but we taking every opportunity to reach everybody we can. Reporter but it was, because it fits the narrative that heres a candidate who fair or unfair seems to have a problem attracting minority voters. Again, im going to welcome anybody whos ready to hear our message and we will continue reaching out to everybody who has so much at stake. Reporter Billionaire Tom Steyer has been pouring over 20 million into tv and social media a ads targeted at south carolinians. Some polls show him in third place. Youre a white billionaire from new york, educated in part in california. What makes you the person to represent a diverse state, a diverse nation . I have been working for racial, economic and social justice for decades. I started a Nonprofit Community bank over a billion dollars. I started it 1 5 years ago. Reporter at the black voters matter block party, styers name was in the air. I like tom steyer. Climate control would be his first option, first big thing to do, you know . Support thousands of jobs, thousands of green jobs, so i kind of like him right now, you know . Reporter the front runner heading into saturdays primary, Bernie Sanders, still dealing with the fallout of his 60 minutes interview. When fidel castro came into office, he had a massive literacy program. Reporter buttigieg slamming him for it tonight. Im not looking forward to a scenario when it comes to donald trump with his social order of the 1950s and Bernie Sanders with his strategy for the 1960s. When i heard that i shivered. That reinforced the fear that south carolinians have about the socalled democratic socialism. Reporter the potential problem that someone like Bernie Sanders might present if a democratic socialist is at the top of the ticket it makes business hard for you in South Carolina. It does throughout the south. The fact of the matter is we have to understand that we have to make breakthroughs in the south if we are going to maintain our position as the Majority Party in the house of representatives. Reporter and a Campaign Event for Vice President joe biden. Hesitation about sanders, a voter whos leaning toward elizabeth warren. He can do no wrong, i feel like im in a mentality that got trump to office. Joe biden stands for a lot of right things. Reporter going into the primary season, political punditry predicted South Carolina would be bidens for the taking. I worked like the devil to earn the vote of the africanamerican community. Reporter Cliff Albright says otherwise. Just being in proximity to president obama for eight years hasnt changed some of his views on some of the policies that were problematic before 2008. And if you ask black folks we know that. Ask them what policy that theyre really excited about, and youll hear crickets. Because we know our support of him isnt about our interests but about our fears. Reporter four years ago, donald trump beat Hillary Clinton by nearly 15 . For now, it seems the only true front runner here is uncertainty. Well have South Carolina primary results saturday and next week be sure to tune in to complete super tuesday coverage, 8 00 p.

Guilty of rape and sexual assault. How did you feel when you woke up this morning . Because in many ways, as gloria says, this is a new dawn. I think im still processing. Im happy and relieved about the verdict. Im happy that the jury got it and grateful that i was heard and believed. Reporter were you worried at all that you might not be believed . Absolutely. I mean absolutely. Im terrified. Reporter the long wait for justice finally over for mimi hailey, who was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein 14 years ago. You said you started to cry. What were the tears for . Tension, relief, just release, a tension release, i think. And just a big, you know, exhale, really. Its a new day. A new dawn.

Reporter how do you feel about the other five women in the case and more broadly, people like the silence breakers . Its incredible. I admire and believe every single one of them. They are the ones who created the environment for me to feel safe enough to speak up in. Reporter more than 90 women have accused Harvey Weinstein, including rose mcgowan and ashley judd. I thought no meant no. Reporter yesterdays verdict a watershed moment for mimi, and they finally feel understood. If the jurors were sitting here, what would you say to them . I would just say thank you. Thank you for getting it. Reporter when you say getting it, what do you mean . For believing me, for listening to me, for hearing me many. Reporter Harvey Weinstein is now a convicted rapist and what goes through your mind . Thats what he is. So. Reporter what do you mean, thats what he is . Well, he is a rapist. According to his Defense Attorneys yesterday he said he was innocent. Hes no longer innocent as a matter of law. He is convicted of rape. He also is convicted of a criminal act. Reporter the verdict partially hinged on mimis story. She first met him in 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival and was hired for project runway in new york city. She was ambitious to be in the business and harvey was a powerhouse. She says that Harvey Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her. But she, like others, continued to keep in touch with harvey after that, despite this foul. Reporter the jury found him guilty of sexually assaulting mimi. And the other witnesses who testified in this case probably bolstered mimis story as well. Reporter weinstein was also convicted of third degree rape, involving a second woman, jessica mann. It was wonderful to hear the words guilty, and im very happy that hes had to face the consequences. Reporter mimi and two of the witnesses in this case were represented by famed womens rights attorney gloria allred. You keep calling this a legal reckoning. What message does this send to prosecutors . That a woman who has been raped or sexually assaulted will be believed by a jury. Weve been like stuck in this very outdated ideas about what, you know, who a rape victim is. And i think that were beginning to understand the reality, which is more often than not, people know their attacker, and it brings with it all kinds of complicated, you know, emotional confusion. This case could embolden prosecutors and victims to come forward more and take more chances in prosecuting cases that maybe ten years ago they couldnt win. Reporter the disgraced hollywood power broker was acquitted on the three other charges, including first degree rape and two counts of predatory sexual assault, avoiding a potential life sentence. This was about two cases, both of which had issues. And the fact that a prosecutors got convictions on both of them is a big win. Reporter tonight, weinstein remains in custody at Bellevue Hospital in new york city where hes being treated for heart het palpitations and high blood pressure. Upon his release he will be sent to rikers island. We will be asking for his release so he can be home during the pendency of his appeal, pc to a year. Reporter prosecutors say he used his significant power and influence to lure women in and scare them into silence. Women like wolf, who testified against weinstein in court. Weinstein is now a convicted rapist. Harriet said so bluntly and cleanly. Its landing. Its landing heavy right now. Reporter she was a 28yearold waitress and aspiring actress at a trendy new york restaurant when she first met the hollywood mogul. She testified that she felt manipulated into meeting him at his apartment where she says he held her down and raped her. What do you think Harvey Weinstein took from you that day . A pretty big chunk of me i think. Some sort of comfort in myself and strength in myself that was missing. And i say was, because im getting it back. Reporter what youre saying is, this is incredibly helpful for you. Im so glad i opened my mouth in the first place, because i thought i was fine, and now i know im not. It still moves me inside. Reporter for the women who made their voices heard, that silence is now broken. People are calling you a hero. Every Single Person i feel like who has spoken out is a hero.
