Among the many words wingnuts dont get, hypocrisy and irony are prime, so the aforesaid boys do performance art (quoted below) as demonstration.
My theorem: When malefactors (bribery, chicanery, turpitude, et al.) who had been calling themselves Democrats before are revealed as malefactors, they forfeit even the semblance of any Democratic identity, since right action is a major component of being Democratic.
So, back when the Philadelphia doctor was murdering pregnant women and fetuses under the guise of abortions, the wingnuts gloried in calling him an abortion doctor. No. He was a serial killer who used medical techniques and an abortion clinic as his m.o., having nothing to do with Pro Choice. Same thing when a previously labeled Democratic congresscritter was found to have bundles of cash in his freezer, or whatever other criminals: They FORFEIT the *using* the Democratic party label.
So, WEINSTEIN trafficked in fashionable cash donations, but his nefarious personal perversions have nothing to do with actually being a Democrat.
This is to burst that balloon of glee the wingnuts have been riding over WEINSTEIN while they continue to be totally silent over AILES, OLOOFAH, and above all TWITLER.

Brit Hume Seems to Believe Weinsteins Sexual Assault Allegations, But Not Trumps or Ailes
.... Its almost shocking to see someone so skeptical suddenly seem this receptive and this is where Humes intentions seem to shine through. The truth, as I see it, is that Hume doesnt seem to give a damn about sexual assault victims and their allegations unless believing them is positive for his career, his media allies, or his political views.
As others have noted, its difficult to find moral distinctions between the accusations made against Weinstein or Clinton and Trump or Ailes, other than the fact that Weinstein and Clinton are Democrats and Trump and Ailes are Republicans. And this ultimately explains exactly why Hume chose now and with Clinton to suddenly believe victims of sexual assault.

MSNBCs Chris Hayes Shows Damning Montage of Trumps Sexual Misconduct Allegations
.... The President of the United States, almost exactly one year ago the famous (sic) Access Hollywood was released, which we dont need to play because everyone remembers that tape, but what is not always remembered is what happened right after that tape was released. Woman after woman came forward, nearly a dozen in all, accusing Donald Trump of inappropriate behavior and sexual assault. ....
