Left Turns on Hillary After ‘Tone-Deaf’ Comments on Lewinsky

This can happen when your vocation is to do no more than talk, talk, talk. TD

Legal Insurrection
Feminist support for Hillary is “feminism for entitled, privileged woman; other kinds of women were dispensable.”


"I may be in the minority, but I don’t want failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to shut up because the more she talks, the more people shed her.
"Hillary may have put the final nail in her coffin on Sunday when she said her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinsky was not an abuse of power or a reason to resign.
"Those comments shocked many, but now the left has turned on her. Publications like Think Progress, The Guardian, and Vanity Fair published scathing articles taking Hillary to town over her comments.
"Professor Jacobson wrote about Hillary’s comments, which she made during an interview with CBS:
Hillary Clinton says that her husband was right not to resign from the presidency in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she told CBS’ “Sunday Morning.” As first lady, she stood by his side as President Bill Clinton was impeached after lying about his affair with Lewinsky, a White House intern.
The former secretary of state said she disagrees with those who now say he should have stepped down.
“In retrospect, do you think Bill should’ve resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal?” correspondent Tony Dokoupil asked.
“Absolutely not,” Clinton said.
“It wasn’t an abuse of power?”
“No. No.”
"Let’s not forget that four other women [have] accused Bill of sexual assault while Juanita Broaddrick has accused him of raping her.
"ThinkProgress described Hillary’s comments as “tone deaf in any moment, but they feel particularly inappropriate in this one, with the #MeToo movement raging.”
"The article also mentioned the other instances that put Hillary at odds with the #MeToo movement like when she protected adviser Burns Strider who faced sexual harassment accusations during the 2008 campaign.
"Then there’s David Axelrod:" . . .
