0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>The Harvey Weinstein sex of Your scandal has mushroom. This week,

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred forty women in California politics published a letter

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>detailing the pervasive culture of sexual mistreatment in their line

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of work. Twenty six women from the legislature signed it.

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They say fear and shame prevented them from speaking up

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.959
<v Speaker 1>until now. Plus the men who harass them are their bosses,

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>their political contacts, and gatekeepers. Remaining quiet was crucial for

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>their careers. The Los Angeles Times asked California Assembly Speaker

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Rendon for common He said, it's widespread in politics,

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>in journalism, and academia, in entertainment. Way too many places,

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 1>he said, and it has to stop. Journalism, academia, entertainment.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>California politics looks like they have something in common. They're

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all run by liberals. Meanwhile, another ironic twist to the

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Harvey saga comes from a close friend of Bill and

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton, Linda Bloodworth Thomas and creator of Designing Women.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>She wrote a piece from the Hollywood Reporter Lessons from

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>witnessing four decades of harassment in Hollywood. She says she

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>warned top level Democrat operatives not to allow Harvey to

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>host political fundraisers. Her warning, she said, fell on deaf ears.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Yet she gives Bill Clinton a pass, though he taxed

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>her feminist conscience. She believes to this day that Clinton's

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>sexual misconduct was none of our business, but they didn't

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>listen to her. They hired Harvey anyway. How does that

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>make her feel? M
