Conway Slams Clinton Over Weinstein Response: 'A Hypocrite About Women's Empowerment'

by Ken Meyer | 11:20 am, October 11th, 2017

White House councilor Kellyanne Conway is still blasting Hillary Clinton over the latter’s belated denunciation of Harvey Weinstein over his sexual assault scandal.

Conway appeared on America’s Newsroom, where Bill Hemmer asked her to elaborate on yesterday’s tweet where she ripped Clinton for blaming the Las Vegas Shooting on the NRA faster than it took her to condemn Weinstein. Clinton has released a statement about how she is “shocked and appalled” by Weinstein’s actions, though Conway continued to slam her for taking as long as she did to offer a public statement.

“On this I felt like a woman who ran to be Commander-in-Chief and President of the United States – who talks about women’s empowerment – took an awfully long time to give support to those women who were coming forward and has still as far as we know kept the money…I’m happy and heartened and frankly proud of many Democrats across the aisle and a lot of people in the mainstream media who are very anti-Trump coming forward about this. [Clinton] ought to do that, too.”


Hemmer proceeded to ask if it would be “better” for Conway if Clinton gave back the money she received from Weinstein during the 2016 campaign. Conway responded by slamming Clinton for not trying to help sexual assault victims a year after the former secretary of state was bashing the president over his “grab ’em by the pussy” remarks.

Twitler still has not responded to the assassination of 4 service men in Niger. He has not posted about the wildfires in California.

Those are issues that any real President or WH would concern itself with.
Only a fucking moron and his staff would be concerned about a Hollywood producer.

I am going to be lectured about feminism and women's empowerment, by a soulless shill for the pussy grabber-in-chief.

She can frack right off.

Devils have no lungs or tongue, though they can show the latter, as well as teeth and lips, artificially made according to the condition of their body; therefore they cannot truly and properly speak.

Or talked about women being too unattractive enough for him to assault, or blood coming out, or calling women pigs etc.

and white face paint when she said it?

Despite some really bad advice to say nothing, both President Obama and Secretary Clinton came out strong on Weinstein. They were spot on.

She's done it before, obsessively calling producers to let her on their shows. They stopped booking her for awhile, but now she's baaaaack, like persistent black mold.
