I’ve noticed that liberals often get a pass for their personal sins as long as they support the right causes. But usually they have enough class not to actually ask for a dispensation. Harvey Weinstein is actually that classless:

>
> An investigation by The New York Times found allegations stretching back to 1990 about Mr. Weinstein’s treatment of women in Hollywood.

“Hey, I’m doing an anti-Trump film, I’m fighting the NRA, I’m going to name some good cause after my mother or something!”
