Hillary Clinton: Bill's affair with Monica wasn't an abuse of power because 'she was an adult'

Bill had affairs. We get it. We know. Hillary did not have nice things to say about those women. Why would she? They slept with her husband. I wouldn’t have nice things to say either. I just heard the Ninja Warrior guy on Megan Kelly say this is victim blaming. No. They weren’t victims. They were sleeping with a married man. We know that Bill has no moral high ground to stand on after all that. WE KNOW! If given the chance, I wouldn’t have voted for him after that. The dems use him sparingly on the campaign trail because of that. Ever wonder why this successful two term president who also happens to be a phenomenal speaker is rarely utilized on the campaign trail? Even his wife’s? Obviously, an affair is a marrital issue. They seem to have worked it out. It’s over. Republicans need to get over it.

Trump, Kavanaugh, Moore, and countless other Rs are accused of SEXUAL ASSAULT! Not the same as consensual affairs. Trump blatantly admiited to assaulting married women and Rs don’t care! Yet, they simultaneously clutch their pearls over Clintons affairs decades ago! Yes, Trump also had consensual affairs. Nobody is shocked. His own wife said she’s not concerned about it. It’s the cover up that will eventually bring him down. Just like it was Clinton’s cover up that caused the Rs to impeach him but they could care less about Trumps.

The hypocrisy is unbelievable, and the more you guys bring up Bill’s affairs, the more your hypocrisy stands out.

I'm sure someone has likely pointed this out but going to do it as well since so many of you people that are stoning Kavanaugh for an allegation defend Clinton...Bill Clinton was also accused of sexual assault...coercion and the list goes on and on.

And Clinton was penalized for his misdeeds. Kavanaugh on the other hand, was rewarded with a SCOTS seat, despite is obvious lack of candor under oath.

I was proud of Hillary.

Ready to support her again.

We can break the glass ceiling- together.

ummmm.... by her statements, she is cementing the glass ceiling and preventing women for overcoming sexual harassment.

Good God you're blind, PP.

Interesting, not a whole lot of liberals are coming out of the woodwork to support her....

Same as Weinstein. It's as much about power as age of consent

I’m more upset by Paula Jones’ story because to her the advances were unwanted. Monica obsessed about him like a giddy school girl and sought out ways to see him.

The podcast Slow Burn (season 2) is about this and very interesting.

Last time there was a very good reason although , like a typical reason, none of them were her own fault.

She is going to run again because she knows there is a core of mainly women who support her and others will fall in line using the rationale that she would be better than Trump.

It'll be a cat fight between Hillary and Elizabeth that will hopefully drain the coffers!

The difference? One had facts, corroboration and quite a few individuals involved...the other did not.

As for lack of candor, down right bald faced lies and being rewarded in many ways including the presidency...Clinton would be in the running for head of the class right along side Trump.

A fine example of someone writing their own fictional narrative and creating their own reality out of said narrative.

One of the more interesting facts regarding the vote on both sides in 2016 was about how unpopular Clinton and Trump were even among those likely to vote for them. First time in modern history at those levels. Fact is that many who voted for both did so because in spite of their dislike for the one they voted for, they didn't like the other more. On top of that it could easily be shown that many voted an agenda and not the person.

I didn't follow that path and took another for the first time in decades of voting in national elections. I didn't cast a lesser off the two evils ballot since I saw both as too far past that point so I voted 3rd party.

+1

Clinton had multiple allegations from different women of outright sexual assault. And he wasn't a binge-drinking, underaged teenager like Kavanaugh. Clinton was a middle-aged man.
