It took a few days, but Hillary Clinton eventually released a statement on her pervy donor/fanboy, Harvey Weinstein.
“I was shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein,” Hillary said in a statement. “The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior.”
This is my favorite version:
Hey– a girl can dream.
Hillary also spoke about Weinstein during an interview on CNN and reiterated that she was “appalled” and “sick.”

“I was appalled. It was something that was just intolerable in every way,” she said. “And, you know, like so many people who’ve come forward and spoken out, this was a different side of a person who I and many others had known in the past.”
I really have my doubts. We know she doesn’t have a problem with that kind of inexcusable behavior. Her husband is the King of Pervs. She defended him. She called his accusers bimbos. It’s just reeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyy hard to take her seriously on this particular matter.
ANYWHO.
A sexually harassing freak made significant contributions to her campaign. That looks bad. So here’s her plan: She’s going to consider the money she personally donates to charity as Weinstein’s dirty dollars.
“There’s no one to give it back to. What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they’re going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that,” Hillary said. “I give 10 percent of my income to charity every year, this will be part of that. There’s no doubt about it.”
But it’s not so simple. What is she going to do? Consider political donations as personal income? I don’t think you can do that…
Chicago tax attorney Robert McKenzie said it could raise problems if Clinton classified the political donations as personal income.
‘I don’t see how she could justify that as being part of her income. I don’t see how she can take that out of her personal return,’ said McKenzie.
Judge Andrew Napolitano appeared on “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning and hit back against Hillary’s claim that there’s “no one to give it back to.”
“If she’s talking about cash he ‘bundled,’ where he had a party and people came to the party and they each gave the max and handed the checks to her, there’s a paper trail of all of that,” Napolitano said. “If he gave money to the Democratic National Committee … there’s a paper trail on that. So there certainly is a person or entity to which the money can be given back.”
He makes a good point. She’s going to donate the money where? The Clinton Foundation? Right back into her own pockets, per usual?
