'There Is No Sex In America,' Russian State TV Declares, In Defense of Weinstein, Spacey and Others

'THERE IS NO SEX IN AMERICA,' RUSSIAN STATE TV DECLARES, IN DEFENSE OF WEINSTEIN, SPACEY AND OTHERS

BY DAMIEN SHARKOV ON 11/6/17 AT 12:11 PM

Russia’s top pro-Kremlin news anchor declared: “The sexual revolution is for the past” in his Sunday news review on the state-run Rossiya-1 channel, duirng a segment about the sexual harrassment and assault revelations currently sweeping Hollywood.

Dmitry Kiselyov, considered one of the Kremlin’s most influential mouthpieces, made the comments during his weekly program, adding that the latest round of celebrity sexual harassment allegations in the U.S. must mean that now “sex is revolting” to Americans.

“In America actresses and actors are coming forward one after another with allegations towards some of the brightest figures in Hollywood,” Kiselyov said, referring to allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein and actors Kevin Spacey and Dustin Hoffman.

Kiselyov also mentioned new allegations against directors James Toback and Brett Ratner and criticized the outpouring of sympathy towards victims of sexual harassment in Hollywood, arguing the West is too hasty in dealing with the accused. “When it comes to those to whom the finger is pointed, they are being dealt with extrajudicially and immediately," he said.
