The Harvey Weinstein phone call to Nancy Pelosi has been reported and referenced in a number of diaries today, but a quote I found very interesting which hasn't gotten much attention is this (from the CNN article):
But the three officials briefed on the call insisted Weinstein went further by suggesting that if Pelosi did not consider his proposal on the revote, he would help slow the flow of donations to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect House Democrats.
Slow the flow, catchy. Let's catch it. It's one thing to express your personal opinion in support of a candidate, it's quite another to extend that to an intentional plan to harm the Party, and the Country, by extending that to downticket races. It doesn't take wealth and an hyper-extended ego to play that game.
The Weinstein Company has a new movie coming out June 6th, The Promotion. I suggest we all do the "slow the flow" to the box office on that date, and give a call of our own to the Weinstein Company to tell them so.
Their number is: 646-862-3400
