Anthony Bourdain Slams Hillary Clinton For 'Shameful' Interview Over Weinstein
"I was just sick," Clinton told Fareed Zakaria. "I was shocked. I was appalled. And, you know, like so many people who've come forward and spoken out, this was a different side of a person who I and many others had known in the past." "I certainly didn't know... I don't know who did, but I can only speak for myself, and I think speak for many others who knew him primarily through politics,” she said. Clinton agreed she would donate the money she received from Weinstein to charity. "What other people are saying, what my former colleagues are saying, is they're going to donate it to charity, and of course I will do that," she said. "I have to say, Hillary's interview with Fareed Zakaria was shameful in its deflection and its disingenuousness," Bourdain criticized on social media. "Know what Hillary Clinton is NOT? She's not stupid. Or unsophisticated about the world. The Weinstein stories had been out there for years. Secretary Clinton was one of the most intelligent, well prepared, well briefed politicians ever. So, yes. I'd hoped for a better response." "Mindless Hillary hate aside, this was a terrible response to questions about a 'friend' who's been tormenting women for decades," he added. "I have met Hillary Clinton. I liked her. I admired much about her. This interview was a real disappointment." "Hillary is CLEARLY not responsible for anything Weinstein. That's screamingly obvious," he clarified. "Her response to questions though has been uninspiring." "I can assure you that the victims of Mr. Weinstein's three decades of predatory behavior are disappointed too. I'm sitting next to one." Bourdain is in a relationship with Asia Argento, who has come forward and said Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her.
Anthony Bourdain expressed disappointment toward former Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over her CNN interview on Wednesday.
