This doesn't prove that Democrat politicians are monsters, there are other ways to do that, but it does show the double standard that the #FakeNews media has.

While Trump also shows up in pictures with Weinstein the reality is that if the vast majority of politicians associated with Weinstein were Republicans the #FakeNews media would be in full 24/7 attack mode.

But now we only hear about how Democrat candidates returned the money Weinstein gave them--which means they got interest free loans that they could use during previous elections-- and how no one knew. Well actually everyone in Hollywood knew which means that lots of Democrat politicians knew.

That's probably because of the $894k of his own money and the $1.4M of bundled money he gave to candidates since 2000 it looks like only $5000 went to one Republican.  

Hence the #FakeNews media has to bury this story or make it about how Democrats were clueless about his crimes.

I'm all for not assuming that everyone knew but I'm also not for assuming that in all cases like this Democrats are completely innocent and Republicans are totally guilty which is how the #FakeNews media spins the "news".
