DNC Only 'Donating' 10% Of Weinstein's Total Contributions, Giving It To Other Dems

The DNC pledged last Friday to donate the $30,000 Weinstein contributed during the 2016 election cycle but said nothing of the remaining $270,000 the alleged sexual predator contributed during his almost two decades as a high profile democratic political donor.

Republicans have criticized the DNC both for the size of the giveaway and for the political nature of the organizations the DNC chose to contribute to.

“The DNC’s response to the Harvey Weinstein matter is shockingly bad — even by Washington standards,” said Alexandra Smith, executive director for the Republican opposition firm America Rising told The Hill. “‘Donating’ a mere 10 percent of the entire Weinstein contribution to another left-leaning political action committee is a complete embarrassment.”

The $30,000 donation will be divided between EMILY’S List, a group that backs pro-choice female candidates, Emerge America, which aims to encourage female participation in electoral politics and Higher Heights, a similar organization that focuses on recruiting black women to run for office.
