Liberals are suddenly figuring out Bill Clinton is a rapist. They must really want to stop Judge Roy Moore.

Guy has gone to report the numerous allegations against Alabama Senate Republican candidate Roy Moore. In days since the allegations that he has been inappropriate with teenage girls, the GOP leadership on the Hill have rescinded their support and started packing sandbags. Now, we have a woman, a Trump voter, who alleges that Moore sexually assaulted her when she was 16. Now, we have this story about Roy Moore being banned from a mall because he was cruising for high school dates. It’s a mess. It’s thrown the Alabama Senate race into chaos, though it’s still dubious whether a Democrat could actually win here, given the electorate—even with the allegations lobbed at Moore. We'll see what happens. The special election isn't for about another month.
Yet, CNN’s Jake Tapper did note something that is different between now and then, especially when women came forward to accuse Bill Clinton of sexual abuse. Those women were raked over the coals by the press. In a segment with Amanda Carpenter and Van Jones, Tapper admits that Bill’s accusers were treated terribly by the press. Newsbusters clipped the exchange [emphasis mine]:
JAKE TAPPER: You know something? And maybe it's the southern accent that reminds me of this, but I think we are and we've seen — we’ve seen some of this in the press. There was a story in The Atlantic called “Bill Clinton: A Reckoning.” Chris Hayes said something the other day and other people have. But the accusers of Bill Clinton back in the '90s were never given the credence and treated with the same respect that these women are being treated and I think that there is something to be said about how society has evolved since then, but in addition, it's hard not to look back at that period and think, you know what? The media treated those women poorly. AMANDA CARPENTER: Yeah, without a doubt. You can't rewrite history, but what I am concerned about now is that I see a lot of Republicans, people like Ann Coulter on Twitter, going back and bringing up people like Senator Kennedy, Clinton, other people that did have previous acts of sexual misconduct almost as a way of saying, well, they did it. We can, too. Appeals to hypocrisy do not work for a party that has no moral core and we do have a problem now because we have elected a President who has his own accusers. So we're all going to go back through history and there is a lot of reckoning that needs to be done. I don't know where that's going to take us. It is risky because you may lose a Senate seat, but it is a problem for Republican voters because you keep putting these people up who are morally conflicted and now the choice is, well, you can vote for this pedophile or you can lose a seat and hand it to Democrats. The Republican Party has to do better. It has to do it with Republican leadership. I am happy to see Mitch McConnell step up and say he should be expelled. We needed more of that during the primary process. The article Tapper cites from The Atlantic, Bill Clinton: A Reckoning, argues that it was time for feminists to come clean and admit they totally stepped on a rake defending Slick Willy:
Juanita Broaddrick reported that when she was a volunteer on one of his gubernatorial campaigns, she had arranged to meet him in a hotel coffee shop. At the last minute, he had changed the location to her room in the hotel, where she says he very violently raped her. She said that she fought against Clinton throughout a rape that left her bloodied. At a different Arkansas hotel, he caught sight of a minor state employee named Paula Jones, and, Jones said, he sent a couple of state troopers to invite her to his suite, where he exposed his penis to her and told her to kiss it. Kathleen Willey said that she met him in the Oval Office for personal and professional advice and that he groped her, rubbed his erect penis on her, and pushed her hand to his crotch. It was a pattern of behavior; it included an alleged violent assault; the women involved had far more credible evidence than many of the most notorious accusations that have come to light in the past five weeks. But Clinton was not left to the swift and pitiless justice that today’s accused men have experienced. Rather, he was rescued by a surprising force: machine feminism. The movement had by then ossified into a partisan operation, and it was willing—eager—to let this friend of the sisterhood enjoy a little droit de seigneur. The notorious 1998 New York Times op-ed by Gloria Steinem must surely stand as one of the most regretted public actions of her life. It slut-shamed, victim-blamed, and age-shamed; it urged compassion for and gratitude to the man the women accused. Moreover (never write an op-ed in a hurry; you’ll accidentally say what you really believe), it characterized contemporary feminism as a weaponized auxiliary of the Democratic Party. […] The party was on the wrong side of history, and there are consequences for that. Yet expedience is not the only reason to make this public accounting. If it is possible for politics and moral behavior to coexist, then this grave wrong needs to be acknowledged. If Weinstein and Mark Halperin and Louis C. K. and all the rest can be held accountable, so can our former president and so can his party, which so many Americans so desperately need to rise again.
It’s actually an attack on Pres. Trump.
They must really want this Senate seat badly if they’re willing to throw Slick Willie under the bus.
Or they might look at it as an opportunity to get rid of the Clintons once and for all.
This isn’t about Bill Clinton or the news ignoring past accusations aganist him. This is about accepting the accusations against Trump and Moore at face value, without question. Instead of ignoring the accusations against Clinton then, the news is ignoring problems with the accusations against Trump and Moore now.
More recently was the newer claim of Leslie Millwee, a one-time journalist for Fort Smith’s KLMN-TV. She had already
written partially about a previous incident in her book.
The newer claim elaborates and describes something new.
I would think the present not the past sense of her new claim deserves the same treatment by the media as the coverage treatment ongoing in Alabama.
Gloria Steinem was not the only hag that saved BJ’ed Billy.......
His own wife....the ambitious Hillary..... put on a full court press defense. She was sacred silly her presidential ambitions were going down the drain.
She decked herself out with virginal pearls and went on CBS-TV ......cool as a cumcumber....saying a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy invented the BJ.
The Clintons...predictably....also had a poll taken. Told them to lie and deceive as long as possible.......which they did.
Until Billy confessed.
AMANDA CARPENTER: Yeah, without a doubt. You can’t rewrite history, but what I am concerned about now is that I see a lot of Republicans, people like Ann Coulter on Twitter, going back and bringing up people like Senator Kennedy, Clinton, other people that did have previous acts of sexual misconduct almost as a way of saying, well, they did it. We can, too.
Come on Amanda, all MSM does is change the narrative and rewrite history. Let’s not forget, the media not only ignored what Bill, Teddy, and others did, they readily attacked anyone who presented facts. Remember too the all out assault by Hillary blaming a VRWC for her and Bill’s troubles. No one is saying ‘we can too’. What is being said is key facts are ignored by the media then and now.
... AMANDA CARPENTER: Yeah, without a doubt. You can’t rewrite history...
Except when it comes to Liberals and Confederate Monuments and it’s flag.
How convenient.
Well put.
Both of those thoughts crossed my mind this morning watching this issue being covered on FNC.
Now that it doesn’t matter, Jake the Fake fakes a conscience.
Exactly. Can’t let him off like they did Clinton.
“It’s actually an attack on Pres. Trump.”
It’s a twofer. It’s also a convenient way to throw the Clintons under the bus.
L
And her right hand man in this was George Stephanopoulos. Who has never been confronted to explain his actions as a ranking member of the Bimbo Eruptions team.
Amanda Carpenter on CNN?
Did Ted Cruz approve?
Also, Juanita Broaderrick and the others endured almost 20 years of ridicule thanks to the Dem media propaganda machine, which was ALL in the tank for Bildo and his harpy wife.
Screw them.
Too little, too late.
Especially from FakeJake Tapper.
CNN needs to go the way of Montgomery Ward.
This right in the middle of their constant propaganda and fake news.
If they were serious about being even-handed and making amends for defending Clinton, they’d be calling out Joe Biden right now for being a sexual predator.
“Photo of famously friendly Biden goes viral”
https://www.today.com/news/photo-famously-friendly-biden-goes-viral-2D11758793
It’s just “friendly” when he puts his hands all over a woman?
But even worse is how it’s come out that he touches little girls.

And it’s all caught on videotape...it’s not one person’s word against another’s...yet the MSM sits on this truth and says nothing.
Herewith, for your edification, are the Certified Democrat Degenerates......the scum that vilify and destroy America's Judeo-Christian ethics and values in movies promoted as being "diverse, politically correct, and socially relevant."
HOLLYWOOD'S CERTIFIED DEMOCRAT DEGENERATES
FINACED BILL CLINTON'S LEWINSKY SEX MESS
According to FEC Info, an Internet Web site (www.tray.com) that tracks federal political contributions, 176 individual donors actually contributed $10,000 or more to the lewinsky-era Clinton Legal Expense Trust fund through Dec 1999. Another 21 donors gave $10,000 in the first six months of 2000.
Thanks to Hollyood's generosity, a total of more than $2.2 million was raised in six months, which was notably more than was collected in funding during the previous four years of his presidency—combined.
Hollywood producers and stars made up the bulk of the most generous givers. They included:
<><> Universal Studios tycoon Lew Wasserman and his wife, Edith, who have given $60,000;
<><>DreamWorks trio Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, $20,000 each;
<><> producer Ron Burkle and his wife, Janet, $40,000;
<><> producers Peg and Bud Yorkin, $30,000;
<><> TV producer Norman Lear, $20,000.
Entertainment celebrities and executives giving $10,000 included:
<><> singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand;
<><> actors Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks;
<><> director Ron Howard; producer Gail Zappa;
<><>Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson.
When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein. corporate statements?
<><> Did Harvey's company list these payments as "business expenses?"
The biggie is the tax element.
<><> Did donors deduct it as a “business expense”,
<><> was it included in assets, payments listed on organization balance sheets as a "liability?"
<><> Did Clinton document it as "income"?
<><> Were the donors given a tax-free certificate from the Clinton Foundation?
============================================
According to liberals, Clinton's rapes, and all of his other sexual assaults and sexual harassment cases, were not crimes; they were all "rewards" to him, well-deserved for being an alpha male that won the presidency for democrats and who advanced and protected the democrat agenda.
Excellent point.......”so, George, speak up.”
