the examples you have unearthed of trump s hypocrisy, just a few. yeah. it seems like at every different step of this investigation there s a new trump hypocrisy angle. first it was when this investigation first starting, all those calls we found he made for lengthy jail sentences, first for clinton and then for people in his own administration who he alleged mishandled classified information. then when we saw this indictment, it was those past attacks that he made on clinton at the end of that 2016 campaign where he was saying basically that if somebody a president was under felony indictment, it would grind the government to a halt. he said it would create an unconstitutional crisis. then we see with these clips where he s talking about, you know, clinton wiping the server. we see that hypocrisy there. take a listen to this other comment on clinton from 2016. they even took a hammer to
least have portrayed themselves as arbiters of morality where a lot of liberals have, hey, man, we do want we want to do so they don t have the hypocrisy angle p. if it s ted kennedy in chap kwid dic, woody allen, what about bill clinton. there was a journalist who said, i won t repeat exactly what she said, but she basically suggested that she would do something to bill clinton as long as he kept abortion legal. so i do think that liberals and democrats were held to a different standard partially because of the hypocrisy issue but partial because the perception was they have the right idea. weinstein was playing on that in his earlier statement where he said, i m going to go away and focus my anger on the nra which just seems i mean but no one in the liberal world gave him an ounce of
brethe new york times is reporting gwyneth paltrow and angelina jolie saying he harassed them years ago. an explosive report in the new york magazine with more accusers and more legal questions. we re back now with the panel. matt, i think you had the floor. thank you. you mentioned the political angle earlier, and i didn t want to let that opportunity go to waste. i do think there s a political angle to this. i think that conservatives if this were a conservative, hillary would have obviously spoken off. part of it is the perceived hypocrisy. conservatives in the past have portrayed themselves as ar bitters of morality whereas a lot of liberals have said, hey, man, we do what we want to do. so they don t have the hypocrisy angle. but, look, i mean if it s ted kennedy and chappaquiddick,
senator chuck schumer, franken has also as you can see of these an amount of money. there are several places that have not returned campaign donations from harvey weinstein. you re going to get a look at those in just a second. $111,000 to governor cuomo, that the sec, and the dnc. lisa: typically you see this from a party, when a mega donor is tied to some sort of scandal, you typically have the opposing party paul lee back call on members of the opposite party. to give that back the money. this is standard operating procedure in washington, d.c. i was a part of the reason why hillary clinton took so long to say anything about this and mind you, also set it to a spokesperson instead of coming out herself indirectly saying it is because he is a mega donor and he has donated tens of thousands of dollars to her campaign. to chris s earlier point, i think the hypocrisy angle with her husband is part of the reason why she had such a difficult time enacting with
weinstein attacking hillary clinton, and you just had to sit there and who s the president again, madam chair? but there is a, there is an enormous hypocrisy angle to this story, and so when we kind of examine how we got president trump in the first place, we really can, i think, draw a straight line back to 1966 in the vietnam war. the collapse of trust in institutions. the massive hypocrisy, the massive, what about-ism. the rationalizations that take place on behavior that at one point universally people would look at and say, that s wrong. it s disgusting, and it doesn t matter who s committing it, but everything is politicized through the lens of the tribe, and you re seeing that play out. so i think the degree to which we have normal, decent people in
