Oh please. She was a 22 year old woman and he was a 49 year old man. Sure it was “legal” but was it right? Was it right to take advantage of a starry eyed girl? And in the White House while Clinton should have been conducting the nation’s business? Bill Clinton is a sexual predator and you know it. And the lengths to which democrats will go to in excusing this behavior is utterly delusional.

The House, you DO know they are part of Congress, DID Impeach. The dems in the Senate, the other part of Congress, who CONTROLLED the Senate, refused to even allow it to be brought up fr a vote.
You are welcome for the civics and History lesson!
You are the one in need of a history lesson. Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate after 1994 and during the impeachment affair. The Senate did indeed try Clinton for perjury and obstruction as provided in the Constitution. He was acquitted on the perjury charge by 55-45 and on the obstruction it was a 50-50 draw.

I believe that the Clinton impeachment was one of the darkest moments in the history of our democracy. It was a blatant partisan act which set the table for the rancor and divisiveness that is tearing us apart to this day.

Shows how little the Democrats controlling the Senate cared about the law. Perjury-while on trial for a sexual harassment clase, doesn't seem to matter to Dems when it's one of their own. The original harassment case came about when he had the Arkansas state police find a woman Clinton identified, had them bring her to his hotel room, then exposed himself and tried to make her perform oral sex on him. During that trial, he lied under oath about his other sexual...escapades.

For those that are too young to remember-he wasn't impeached for getting a BJ in the oval office from an intern that was his daughter's age. He was impeached for a crime-lying under oath. This is a level above "lying to the FBI"-that IIRC Flynn serving a sentence for.

Monica could not give consent and was not in a position to give consent in front of the most powerful person in the world.

actually if you wanted to be truthful , the fact was the Clintons were crooked, then and still

what was starrs original charter...to investigate whitewater and the SEXUAL ASSAULT charges brought by.... Paula Jones, that happened during whitewater

paula jones was a VICTIM of that molester/rapist clinton....before he became potus

clinton was impeached for lying under oath...not about monica, but about the previous sexual ASSAULT case

starr started and finished on the same path, the fact that the Clintons are criminal con artists and bill Clinton is a serial rapist




and lets not forget Gennifer Flowers ,,,who he had had a 12-year relationship with .... Bill Clinton PUBLICLY denied having a relationship with Flowers ......yet...In his presidential deposition in January 1998, while denying Kathleen Willey's sexual accusations against him, Bill Clinton admitted that he had a sexual encounter with Flowers.

99% of liberals say "clinton was impeached because of a blowjob by monica"

when in fact he was impeached based on a sexual harassment suit and his lying under oath and the lie had nothing to do with monica



but that doesn't change the fact that bill Clinton is a liberal hero, and yet a serial rapist... or are you saying Juanita Broaddrick | Kathleen Willey | Paula Jones | Sandra Allen James | Eileen Wellstone | Christy Zercher | Carolyn Moffet | Helen Dowdy | Becky Brown | Regina Blakely Hopper | Monica Lewinsky | Elizabeth Ward Gracen | Gennifer Flowers | Connie Hamzy | Dolly Kyle Browning | Sally Miller (Sally Perdue) | Lencola Sullivan .....are all 100% liars???..

Because Bill Clinton was in love with Monica Lewinsky, not Vladimir Putin.

Just because he’s a rapist, it doesn’t mean he raped Monica.

The real issue was that Monica could not give consent because of her position and his position. So the interaction was not consensual.

Yeah, they were so easy on Al Franken, Anthony Weiner and all the other "hollywood libruls" caught up in Me Too.


I don't defend inappropriate relations of any kind, but at least when Dems do it, they usually do it consentually, with someone of the opposite sex, and of legal age. R's are more apt to be found with young pages or in a bathroom stall in an airport. But keep projecting about double standards....
