On Fox News channel’s “The Five” on Tuesday, co-host Jesse Watters succinctly described the hypocrisy of the entire situation.
“Everything that Schneiderman accused Donald Trump of being — racist, sexually aggressive and a fraud — he is himself,” Watters said.
“So, richly ironic, and he was one of the loudest and most effective anti-Trump crusaders.”
“When you think about all of the lawsuits that he brought against the Trump Foundation, Trump University, legal action against DACA, against sanctuary city defunding, against the travel ban as well, census reform, health care reform, almost every Trump initiative he tried to fight,” Watters continued.
Watters noted that the Schneiderman story was broken by Ronan Farrow, joking that “if Farrow is doing a story about you, you’re in deep trouble.” Farrow is the same investigative reporter who broke the Harvey Weinstein scandal that opened up the deluge of allegations against the top Hollywood mogul and Democrat donor.
“To the point about these Democrats coming forward and trying to silence the victims — this happens in both parties where you can make a choice between your ideals and victims, or choosing the powerful and the money,” Watters continued.
“And a lot of the time in the past people have chose to side with the powerful and the money, and now people aren’t doing that anymore and I think that’s pretty refreshing.”
