Jesse Watters, guest-hosting "The O'Reilly Factor," asked Fox News contributor Leslie Marshall whether or not former President Bill Clinton has "abused" women but she was left speechless before she was able to give an answer.
"I think your silence says a lot," Watters said.
But Marshall shot back, "No. I wanted to be very clear because I wanted to think about Monica - although consensual, she was young. I wouldn't say abuse - taken advantage of? Yes. Abused? No."
Watters listed off the facts, "Two women have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Another woman sued Clinton for defamation because he allegedly smeared her after an affair, and, you know as you said, he did prey on a young intern while at work. And he did use state troopers while at office to arrange the relationships. And then we know that he used his political attack machine to go after whistleblowers of the women who accused him of doing the wrong thing. It looks like there is a track record of being very aggressive with women and then using political power to then cover it up and smear. Am I wrong," Watters asked.
Marshall took the opportunity to give Bill Clinton a pass saying,

Taking advantage of = Abuse. End of story.
I laughed out very loud when I saw this segment...Watters nailed her.
BJ Clinton settled the Paula Jones case for six figures (and was disbarred for five years because of how he handled it); Paula Jones wasn’t a girlfriend, but a victim of sexual harassment/flashing at the hands of Clinton.
Leftists try to focus the story on Monica (a consensual if disgusting “indiscretion”) to distract attention from the fact that Monica was subpoenaed AS PART OF PAULA JONES’ LAWSUIT. Paula Jones cast the Monica relationship in the spotlight - and she was an innocent victim of The Great Stain-Maker.
I was impressed with Watters, I always saw him as a lighyt weight-—He proved his chops that night and from his tone—he may well be a Trump supprter.
I like Watters. His style is very disarming.
I could only hope ditzy broads like Leslie Marshall could find themselves alone with a sexual pervert like Slick Willie.
Then she’d know without a doubt what “abused” means.
I would hope she would think about Juanita, Kathleen and Paula.
Women don’t fabricate these charges, because of the stress it causes them.
Except when there is a political damage.
Clinton had to pay Paula Jones $850,000 to settle out of court and if my memory serves, Trump at that time, said something like, "you don't pay 850 grand if you're innocent."
Yes, and Hillary is at least an accessory after the fact due to her part in smearing and sliming the women.
Well, it was between two consenting adults, but considering that Bubba was her boss...very, very bad. In the private sector, that is INSTANT, AUTOMATIC firing, doesn’t matter who you are. Then, the company itself has problems from the Feds on top of that.
Trump pre-emptively thwarts sexual smears that were certain to come his way from the Clinton camp.
Trump has had a lot of wives and girlfriends.
But no accusations of abuse like Clinton.
If Clintons want to use Trump’s tomcatting ways against him, Trump has a big one up on Clinton because tom-catting is not rape and sexual assault.
Game to Trump, opponent forfeits.
“I like Watters. His style is very disarming.”
He smiles when he punches.
Excerpt:
"But our rules for talking about sexual assault have changed since the 1990s, when these women were last in the news. Today, feminists have repeatedly and convincingly made the case that when women say they’ve been sexually assaulted, we should assume they’re telling the truth. Particularly when it comes to Broaddrick, it's not easy to square the arguments against believing her with the dominant progressive consensus on trusting victims. This is a tension that people on the right are eager to exploit."
Indeed.
Watters is a scream. I love that look he gives someone when he’s setting them up for a fall.

It’s only abuse if a white conservative male does it. Otherwise, it’s ok.
“Better put some ice on that, Leslie”
See # 4; that is the REAL story (and problem) for BJ Clinton. Don’t take the left’s bait by focusing on Monica; she was a pawn in a much bigger problem.
