  • Harvey Weinstein is back in court this week.

  • An appeals court overturned his 2020 conviction in New York,

  • saying he hadn't gotten a fair trial, and so his accusers must now testify again.

  • Weinstein has always had very good lawyers, but the court of public opinion was against him.

  • Until now, it seems.

  • After looking over this case,

  • I've concluded that Harvey Weinstein was wrongfully convicted and was basically just hung on the Me Too thing.

  • The commentator Candace Owens, who has previously defended Kanye and Andrew Tate.

  • Andrew Tate and his brother were actually a response to a misandrist culture, women that hated men.

  • Before Andrew Tate, there was Lena Dunham.

  • Has taken up Weinstein's cause, and it seems to be gaining her followers.

  • Coming up on Today Explained, when Candace met Harvey.

  • Megan Rapinoe here.
