HRC proxy Weinstein threatens Pelosi, Dems with nuclear winter if they don’t back FL/MI revote
Thursday, May 08, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Producer and HRC mainstay Harvey Weinstein is pushing a plan in which he would put together the dollars required to do primary re-votes in Florida and Michigan. He wants the blessing of key Democrats — with their kneecaps intact or otherwise. CNN describes two threats Weinstein reportedly levied in a call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday:
“[A] person familiar with the phone call said what might have upset Pelosi is that Weinstein also suggested that if Democratic leaders ‘did not fix’ the Florida and Michigan problem, powerful Democrats may abandon the eventual party nominee in favor of Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, in November.
“But the three officials briefed on the call insisted Weinstein went further by suggesting that if Pelosi did not consider his proposal on the revote, he would help slow the flow of donations to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect House Democrats.”
