What is really grinding my gears right now is conservatives are attempting to claim moral superiority after the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal broke out and blaming liberals for abuse running rampant in Hollywood. They seem to have forgotten they controlled Hollywood for a very long time. Abuse was running rampant back then. Examples of abused Old Hollywood celebrities include Judy Garland, Dorothy Dandridge, Tippi Hedren, and Patricia Doulgas. Patricia Doulgas was actually the first person to call out Hollywood for sexual assault. She was raped at an MGM exhibitors' convention in 1937. The crime was covered up by the studio. After that, conservatives continued to pretend abuse of celebrities wasn't happening while putting out family films and TV shows such as The Wizard of Oz, Leave It to Beaver, and The Andy Griffith Show. They have no right to claim their hands are clean when they are just as guilty of covering up abuse as liberals are. They are also known for covering up the Catholic Church sex abuse for centuries by simply sending abusive priests to other churches, so they wouldn't have to deal with them. What separates them from liberals is they preach family values and morality in public constantly while they practice neither behind closed doors. Abuse comes from both sides. It's not limited to one.
