Tim Kaine Once Said Cheating Politicians Should Resign—Including Bill Clinton

BWG said:

True that - especially in light of this.....

It is technically true that the Speakers of the House during Clinton's impeachment eventually had public sex scandals. Hastert was criminally charged and sentenced to prison, House Speaker-designate Livingston's bid to assume the role failed when his own infidelities were exposed, and Gingrich later admitted to extramarital affairs of his own.

Video Resurfaces - Proves Trump Is RIGHT About Bill Clinton's Rape Victims And Hillary! (WATCH)

Clearly enabling and covering for Slick Willy (Bubba).

And we have the birth of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" to lie to cover for Bill.

Poor Bill.

No.

All you have are unsubstantiated statements of a woman, a Trump supporter, with an axe to grind and a statement of Hillary's that cannot seriously be read as any kind of unseemly threat in context. The bit about Whitewater is not relevant to a discussion about whether Hillary enables Bill's misbehavior with women.

I gave you indisputable proof in the way of videos that Hillary runs cover for her husband's actions. If you choose to live with your head in the sand that is your choice but the public will have a different outlook.

Oh, and I am NOT a Trump supporter so you got that wrong too. Where did I mention Whitewater? Wrong three times in on post? You are getting rusty.

I didn't call you a Trump supporter - I called Juanita Brodderick a Trump supporter. Or rather she calls herself one in the article you referenced.

The "vast right wing conspiracy" started with Whitewater didn't it? It's referenced in the wiki article.

And once again the base allegation here is that Hillary Clinton - who did not cheat on her husband - is somehow tainted as a cheater because her husband did. That's nonsense.

Hillary did the famous 60 Minutes interview with Bill as he delivered a lawyerly denial of the 12-year allegation (he later admitted having sex with Flowers once). Hillary joined strategy sessions over what verbiage to use in the interview.

Hillary apparently didn’t spare a moment’s thought why her husband the governor would have wanted a private meeting with a 24-year-old state employee. She interviewed superlawyer Bob Bennett to handle the Jones sexual-harassment suit and insisted on a hardline defense. Bennett spread rumors of nude pictures of Jones and had another lawyer subpoena men to try to find evidence of Jones’s alleged promiscuity.

Hillary was even more instrumental to the defense in the Monica Lewinsky case, setting the tone of the White House response in her “vast right-wing conspiracy” appearance on Today.

Back then, Mr. Clinton’s aides, having watched Gary Hart’s presidential hopes unravel over his relationship with Donna Rice in the 1988 Democratic primary race, were determined to quash any accusations against Mr. Clinton early and aggressively, former campaign aides said. Mrs. Clinton had supported the effort to push back against the women’s stories.
Much of her involvement played out behind the scenes and was driven in part by her sense that right-wing forces were using the women and salacious stories to damage her husband’s political ambitions.

Her reflex was to protect him and his future, and early on, she turned to a longtime Clinton loyalist, Ms. Wright, to defend him against the allegations, according to multiple accounts at the time, documented in books and oral histories.
“We have to destroy her story,” Mrs. Clinton said in 1991 of Connie Hamzy, one of the first women to come forward during her husband’s first presidential campaign.

When Gennifer Flowers later surfaced, saying that she had had a long affair with Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton undertook an “aggressive, explicit direction of the campaign to discredit” Ms. Flowers, according to an exhaustive biography of Mrs. Clinton, “A Woman in Charge,” by Carl Bernstein.

Mrs. Clinton referred to Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern who had an affair with the 42nd president, as a “narcissistic loony toon,” according to one of her closest confidantes, Diane D. Blair, whose diaries were released to the University of Arkansas after her death in 2000.
