Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have finally broken their silence on Harvey Weinstein, issuing a short statement late Tuesday night condemning the Hollywood mogul and major Democratic donor for his “disgusting” behavior.
Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein. Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture — including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect — so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future.
