Will Republicans Return Donations From Their Harvey Weinstein, a Guy Named Trump?
RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel recently demanded that Democrats and Democratic organizations return any donations they had received from sexual predator Harvey Weinstein. During three-decades worth of sexual harassment allegations, Harvey Weinstein lined the pockets of Democrats to the tune of three-quarters of a million dollars, she thundered. If Democrats and the DNC truly stand up for women like they say they do, then returning this dirty money should be a no brainer.

Well now its time for the Republican organizations to follow RNC chairs directive and return the donations they received from Donald Trump, a man who like Weinstein has admitted to sexually assaulting women. In fact, McDaniels original statement can be applied precisely to Trump by simply swapping in the underlined words: During three-decades worth of sexual harassment allegations, Donald Trump lined the pockets of Republicans to the tune of nearly one million dollars. Adding, If Republicans and the RNC truly stand up for women like they say they do, then returning this dirty money should be a no brainer. (Trump has donated more than $950,000 to the GOP organizations and Republican candidates over the past 26 years.)
In Trumps case, 11 women came forward last year to publicly detail how Trump sexually assaulted them dating back to the late 1980s. (The BBC documents each incident in detail.) There was Jill Harth who told us that in 1993 when she was at the Mar-a-Lago resort, Trump pushed me up against the wall, and had his hands all over me and tried to get up my dress again... I had to physically say: What are you doing? Stop it.
A similar incident occurred in 2005 again at Mar-a-Lago when former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff explained how Trump pushed her against a wall and forced his tongue down her throat. Then theres the incident that instantly conjures up Weinsteins MO with women. Former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos shared in painstaking detail that in 2007 Trump invited her to the Beverly Hills Hotel for what was supposed to be a meeting to discuss a job. But there, as Zervos explained, Trump grabbed my shoulder and began kissing me again very aggressively and placed his hand on my breast.
