The reaction since the Harvey Weinstein revelations has been something of a revolution in entertainment, in politics and in media. A Quinnipiac University poll published Tuesday found that fully 60 percent of American women voters say they’ve experienced sexual harassment, the vast majority in the workplace. Instead, the White House, and in particular presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway, are sending the opposite message about women and those who prey on them. As a practical matter, there’s little doubt Moore sexually exploited girls, yet the message from the White House is that such a man belongs in high office. That’s a green light to millions of men who harass and abuse women — and a caution to millions of women that they shouldn’t complain about it.
