Claire McCaskill took campaign contributions from Harvey Weinstein's enabler

#MeToo isn’t just a political issue for Claire McCaskill. Weeks after Harvey Weinstein was exposed for his sexual deviancy last October, the Senate Democrat shared her story of sexual harassment. McCaskill told how, as a young state lawmaker, the speaker of the Missouri State House told her she would need to trade sexual favors for legislative help.

Four months after sharing her story on “Meet the Press,” McCaskill would accept campaign contributions from one of the men responsible for enabling Weinstein for decades. She cashed two checks worth $5,400, according to FEC disclosures. The contributions come from Bryan Lourd, a partner of CAA and a man the New York Times listed as part of “Weinstein’s Complicity Machine.”
