Tucker Carlson: NBC Passed On Weinstein Scoop To Protect Hillary Clinton realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/10/…
Hillary Clinton has spent her entire life closely connected to men who abuse women. Maybe that’s why she feels the need to lecture you about feminism. It’s a kind of projection. She gets to feel virtuous, even as she does the very things she claims to hate.
So they knew. That’s beyond dispute now. Why didn’t they do anything to stop the abuse? Because people like Hillary Clinton helped Weinstein get away with it.
Here’s one example: In summer 2017, Ronan Farrow tried to schedule an interview with Hillary for a book he was writing about U.S. foreign policy. Hillary’s publicist, Nick Merrill, warned Farrow outright that a certain “big story” he was working on was a “concern for us.”
In other words, leave Harvey Weinstein alone. Weinstein had been a longtime fundraiser for the Clinton family. Hillary wanted to protect him, no matter how many women he was hurting.
A few months later, Weinstein returned Hillary’s favor. He sent an email to NBC executive Deborah Turness, pitching a docu-series about Hillary Clinton. Turness called the idea “absolutely stunning.” That’s not surprising. NBC news was in the tank for Weinstein too.
When Farrow began his investigation, he was still an NBC employee. But the company rejected his story, despite the fact he had it nailed. In the end, he took the piece elsewhere and won a Pulitzer Prize. Now, we know why NBC passed on the scoop of the decade.
According to Farrow, Weinstein dug up allegations against Today Show host Matt Lauer, and threatened to expose him if they didn’t quash the story. To protect their top talent, NBC let Weinstein get away with it. They’ve been lying about it ever since.
