Tonight she praises Creepy Joe. No excuse for not knowing his history.

Michelle Obama: I want to welcome you to the White House. Have you been having fun?

Oh, I can tell. I want to start by thanking Harvey Weinstein for organizing this amazing day. (Applause.) Harvey. This is possible because of Harvey. He is a wonderful human being, a good friend and just a powerhouse. And the fact that he and his team took the time to make this happen for all of you should say something not about me or about this place, but about you.

it was 2013, back then it was only people like her who knew of Weinstein's indiscretions & swept them under the rug,
how could she have known his vile behavior would eventually come out?
she must be forgiven for knowingly praising a sexual predator & rich, wealthy man

How could she have known what a creep he was?

[–] RogueDemonHunter (2684) 4 years ago

Everyone knew but the "elite" and Hollywood protected him.

[–] Jinx (3733) 4 years ago

How do you figure that she would know something like that?

[–] RogueDemonHunter (2684) 4 years ago

Oh come on, it's been an open secret for decades. You really expect me to believe she hadn't heard a single thing?

[–] Jinx (3733) 4 years ago

Why would she? She’s not in the movie business, never lived in California. . .

[–] RogueDemonHunter (2684) 4 years ago

I've never lived in California, nor am in the movie business and yet I knew so that's not really a very good argument. She was in a powerful position where she would have had people vet the people she was friends/associated with. I don't believe for one second she was unaware.

It’s a stretch and not a very good one. How on earth did ‘you’ know he was a serial rapist?

[–] RogueDemonHunter (2684) 4 years ago

If only there were numerous warnings about him. Oh wait...And this doesn't even cover all of them...

Everyone knew, including Trump, but the other side won't admit it when there is video footage and pictures and all that. Don't know how one could point to one and ignore the other. It's like saying my creep/paedophile is better than theirs.

Bubba was a much better liar. She needs work. Her lying is pathetically obvious.

If they told her to, Michelle would start clubbing baby seals if she thought it would advance her career.

[–] NorrinRad (5468) 4 years ago

Except she's not lying about not knowing the true nature of Weinstein.

You on the other hand are "Bearing False Witness" in this court of public opinion. You don't have a clue, no evidence, just innuendo and completely made up accusations.

There is nothing more pathetically obvious than your intent to attempt to make Michelle Obama into something that she is not.

Takes a scum to praise another scum to be successful at the expense of others.
