Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California appeared on MSNBC Sunday and claimed that the Democrats should give the money disgraced filmmaker Harvey Weinstein donated to Democrats back to him.

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts asked, “What about the money? Are you supportive of the DNC giving back money?”

“They should give it back to him. First of all, they may not have known what was going on, but the fact is that they now know, Waters said.

“They know now, they ought to give him the money back and make sure that the word goes out that the Democratic Party does not welcome that kind of money coming into our campaigns and dealing with you know, our elections. It is not to be accepted by us,” Waters said.

“When we know better, we’re supposed to do better,” Roberts said, to which Waters added, “That’s right. I like that.”

Weinstein has donated money to Democratic candidates and groups for years, including the Clinton Foundation. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which received money from Weinstein, gave the previously donated money to a women’s group after a number of accusations of rape and sexual harassment emerged recently.
