FLASHBACK: Washington Free Beacon: Report: Upcoming Weiner Movie Censored Content Harmful to Hillary Clinton

By Jenna Lifts, Jan. 21, 2016, Washington Free Beacon

An upcoming documentary about former New York congressman Anthony Weiner may have been edited to exclude scenes that portray the Hillary Clinton campaign unfavorably, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Sundance-bound film was intended to follow Weiner, husband of Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin, during his 2013 run for New York mayor in an attempt to redeem his image after his first sexting scandal. However, when Weiner was caught in yet another sexting scandal during his campaign, the subject matter of the film changed.

Distributors who saw early cuts of the film claim that scenes unflattering to the Clinton campaign were cut out, including one where her team is seen pressuring “Abedin to immediately cut ties with Weiner, fearing the scandal will hurt the secretary of state’s bid for the White House.”

"It was an insult," the comic actor says.

Tommy Chong is in disbelief after he was disinvited by the Bernie Sanders campaign from introducing the presidential hopeful hours before a rally in East Los Angeles.

The iconic comic actor and outspoken marijuana advocate tells The Hollywood Reporter that the Sanders campaign was happy to have his endorsement months back, but when it came time for the two men to appear in public together, someone got "cold feet," he says.

"It's lip service to get the votes, but they don't want to endorse what I stand for and what I've stood for all my professional career," Chong said right after he was uninvited to the rally. "It was an insult."

In a email to THR, a Sanders spokesman said, "We appreciate his support but a scheduling issue came up."
