Trump Defended Clinton During Lewinsky Scandal Against “Moralist” Hypocrites In Congress

Republican front-runner Donald Trump revived Bill Clinton’s past marital indiscretions this week, attacking Hillary Clinton on Twitter and on TV for playing the “women’s card” and saying her husband’s past affairs would be fair game.

Trump took a different tact in the late ’90s, when the scandal was at its peak, defending then-President Bill Clinton against the “moralists” and hypocrites in Congress and arguing that the scandal wouldn’t have been that bad if only Clinton had chosen to carry on an affair with a supermodel instead.

“I got a chuckle out of all the moralists in Congress and in the media who expressed public outrage at the president’s immoral behavior,” wrote Trump in The America We Deserve . “I happen to know that one U.S. senator leading the pack of attackers spent more than a few nights with his twenty-something girlfriend at a hotel I own. There’s also a conservative columnist, married, who was particularly rough on Clinton in this regard. He also brought his girlfriend to my resorts for the weekend. Their hypocrisy is amazing.”

Trump also wrote that Clinton should have refused to talk about his personal life.

“When confronted with the Lewinsky matter, Clinton should have stoutly refused to discuss his private life,” wrote Trump. “He should also have declined to answer, rather than perjure himself. If the Clinton affair proves anything it is that the American people don’t care about the private lives and personal of our political leaders so long as they are doing the job.”

Trump at one point compared himself directly to Bill Clinton, telling CNBC in 1998, “Can you imagine how controversial I’d be? You think about him with the women. How about me with the women? Can you imagine?”

In a 2000 interview with Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Trump even suggested people would have been more forgiving if Clinton had cheated on Hillary with a beautiful woman of sophistication.

“He handled the Monica situation disgracefully. It’s sad because he would go down as a great president if he had not had this scandal,” said Trump. “People would have been more forgiving if he’d had an affair with a really beautiful woman of sophistication. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were on a different level.

After hours of inquiries, a question from Rep. Martha Roby (R-AL) made Clinton erupt with laughter.
"Who else was at your home, were you alone?" Roby asked.
"I was alone, yes," Clinton replied.
"The whole night?" Roby asked.
"Well, yes, the whole night," Clinton said, bursting with laughter.
"Well, I don't know why that's funny," Roby said.
"I’m sorry, a little note of levity at 7:15, Clinton said.

Anti-gay rights GOP candidate was once a female impersonator.

Steve Wiles, a Republican state Senate candidate who supports North Carolina’s constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage, once worked as a female impersonator at a gay nightclub in Winston-Salem and was gay at the time, according to a co-owner of the nightclub and a former employee.

More GOP Lawmakers Arrested For Sexual Misconduct In Bathrooms Than Trans People

It is Republican lawmakers, and not transgender people, who are the real danger in public bathrooms.

Dead State, Gay Star News, and Friendly Atheist are all reporting that Republican politicians are more of a menace in public bathrooms than transgender people.

The reports are based on an earlier report issued by Dan Avery at News Now Next debunking the myth that transgender people using public bathrooms pose some sort of threat.

The multiple reports indicate that no transgender individual has ever been arrested for sexual misconduct in a public bathroom, while at least three Republican lawmakers have been arrested for sexual misconduct in a public bathroom.

Former U.S. Senator Larry Craig, Florida state Representative Bob Allen, and Mississippi Congressman Jon Hinson were all Republican lawmakers, and were all arrested for sexual misconduct in a public bathroom.

GOP cosponsor of anti-trans bathroom bill is a danger to ‘unsuspecting women’, probe finds.

A Republican state lawmaker in Tennessee who is pushing to strip transgender people of bathroom rights has been found to be a danger to “unsuspecting women.”

Last week, Tennessee House Speaker Beth Harwell exiled state Rep. Jeremy Durham from his offices at the War Memorial Building and limited his access to other areas after Attorney General Herbert Slatery issued a warning that the lawmaker’s behavior posed “a continuing risk to unsuspecting women who are employed by or interact with the legislature.”

Slatery’s office is leading an investigation into multiple sexual harassment complaints against Durham. Although the investigation is not complete, Slatery said that the warning was necessary because of information learned during interviews with 34 different women.

“With few exceptions, the women who related incidents felt they could not report Representative Durham’s behavior because nothing could be done and they did not want to lose their jobs or be considered ‘untrustworthy’ by employers, clients or legislators,” the letter said.

According to the report, women said that they “avoid or refuse to be alone with Representative Durham, a situation which has affected their ability to perform their jobs.”

That guy?

Sounds like a good hire by Trump.

I guess in liberaland, it's better to hire someone who is ignorant about finances as your campaign finance director.

Some of the other things that people have a higher opinion of than they do of the man-baby Drumpf.

A new Donald Drumpf attack video features footage of Hillary Clinton laughing amid shots of the burning compound in Benghazi.
The video also exploits the families of those killed in Benghazi for political gain.

Trump ad uses Benghazi victims' families to hit Clinton.

According to reporter Robert Costa, Drumpf has dozens of these types of deceptively edited videos ready to go.
This is how the Republican Party operates.

The video makes it look as if Hillary Clinton was laughing at what happened in Benghazi, or laughing at the family members of those killed.
What she was actually laughing at was a question asked by Congresswoman Martha Roby nine hours into her testifying at the House Benghazi hearings.
You can hear Congresswoman Roby saying, 'I don't know why that's funny' in the attack video.

I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton's but that doesn't negate the fact that this kind of deceptive editing is a bunch of garbage.
