McAuliffe took $100K from billionaire with ties to Harvey Weinstein
Fox News
Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe took a six-figure donation from Paul Tudor Jones, a billionaire hedge fund owner who was a close ally of Harvey Weinstein's and a board member of the Hollywood convicted rapist’s production company.
Jones told Weinstein that he loved him in an email and said, "America loves a great comeback story" and the allegations "will go away sooner than you think," the New York Times revealed in 2017. Jones received a massive public condemnation after it was revealed he came to the defense of Weinstein amid his sexual assault allegations in 2017, including calls from Women United Now for him to be "kicked off" the board of the Everglades Foundation in April 2018. He is still listed as one of the "founding members" of the board on the group's website. "It's time to drain the Everglades Foundation swamp of men who enable other men to get away with sexual misconduct or engage in it themselves," the group's founder, Catrena Carter, said. "Paul Tudor Jones knowingly turned his head the other way and even went as far as to comfort Weinstein by telling him it would all be forgotten. Thankfully women are coming out to support one another in record numbers. Let's put our frustration into action and demand that The Everglades Foundation cut ties with Paul Tudor Jones immediately."More Related News
