Yesterday at lunch, a RW friend brought up Harvey Weinstein. This is the RW talking point of the week.

I made some dismissive comment about Weinstein being a terrible person. At least my friend did not comment about Hillary but instead talked about Hollywood values and complicity and the failure to expose his crimes earlier. I did not point out that Weinstein was no different from Ailes and O’Reilly but did make a very indirect allusion to Trump, at which point my friend backed off. He is a very devout Catholic so I did not want to mention the long-term issues in the Church, where priests who abused children were shunted off to other parishes and protected.
