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,

"After a masterful CBS 60 Minutes joint interview..."
The accusations against Bill Clinton were dismissed by the media and then by the public in the 90s. The common perception of most people (not FReepers) is that ole Bill just loved to get him some women, mmmmmmm... mmmmmm...... mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
In a way, he is seen as the Democrat Party’s very own Hugh Hefner. They see nothing wrong with it. They even like him more because of it, consensual or not!
Hillary was just doing the obligatory Tammy Wynette. The public doesn’t care.
Hillary trying to play the woman card will appeal to the women who already support her no matter what Trump says. The rest will not care about the woman card no matter what Hillary says.
I, for one, don’t care. There are so many more important things this election than replaying the 1990’s news cycle.
The policies of Secretary of State Clinton have engulfed the entire world in terrorist turmoil, mass murder and geo-political instability. Play your woman card on that.
Rofl!
He should have said that!
Exactly right, that is the nut of it all and the twisted witch should be held to task for it, all of it.
Has Bill Clinton traveled outside of the US for the purpose of having sex with underage girls?
It still IS! People still think Anita Hill was some kind of Saint and they disbelieve Juanita Broadderick. Are you kidding me? One woman gets hit on and hears some slightly off color jokes?????? Oh, play me a violin!!!!!!!!
The other woman is called to meet the Attorney General and has no reason to believe there is anything untoward, he says we need a quieter place to discuss her senior living homes, and he ATTACKS her out of the blue, raping her through her torn clothing, biting her lip through, and libs are that hypocritical?!?!
GO JESSE!
Watters would make a FUN press spokesman for President Trump!
I did as well...
I have to admit she recovered pretty good...
Got her libtard talking points lined up and responded...
I think Watters was also sort of taken aback by her silence, he did let her off the hook...
“I wouldn’t say abuse - taken advantage of? Yes. Abused? No.”
So ... it’s not abuse-abuse, see also “rape-rape.”
Hellry not only was in charge of Bimbo Eruptions, she personally threatened women to keep their mouths shut.
Pure satanic evil.
The Progressive approach to Bill Clinton was, and is, straight out of the “Great Man” principle. Namely that the personal foibles of “Great Men” need to be overlooked, excused and even enabled due to their contributions to history and the cause.
The person who summed this up best was that twit reporter who offered to strap on the “Presidential kneepads” and give Bill head for keeping abortion legal. Providing sexual favors being an appropriate “payment” for being able to effect abortion rights.
The same thing was true with the Kennedys. I remember going to college in the late 80’s in DC and observing attractive, Liberal female classmates being warned by other Liberals that the LAST place they should intern was in Teddy’s Senate office. Stuff about his “hot tub and cocaine” parties at his McLean mansion and a US Capitol “hideaway” straight out of Caligula. But nothing formal was ever done about any of it. It was all acceptable because the Liberal Lion of the Senate, the staunch defender of women’s causes, had ... needs ... that had tone served.
Maybe he’s waiting for the real run down to the elections to hit the Clintoons. Best not to show all of your hand in the beginning of the game.
Like Bill Cosby, BJ Clinton likes puddin. Puddin his weiner where it doesn’t belong’’
“Bob Packwood forced a kiss in in elevator. For these crime, we were LECTURED ad nauseum about sexual harassment from NOW, the Democrats, and other leftists. Unwanted sexual advances, or even jokes, from men in positions of power were WRONG, and don’t even try to make excuses for them.”
Your Packwood summary is what I recall as well . . . with the addition of (1) it happened before the BJ Clinton Blue Dress affair became public; (2) Paula Jones’ accusations were already public; (3) Packwood was forced to give up his seat in the Senate (4) No prominent elected Republican pointed out this disparate treatment of the accused perpetrator of female harassment and abuse as another reason for Clinton to resign.
I also recall many people were not excited about Al Gore, seen as (a dunce, a Forest Gump) not one they wanted as President and were willing to overlook Clintons’ lies, crimes (e.g. perjury) and abuse of women - excusing it all as it’s his “personal life / consenting adults” rationalization being made public by Starr the out of control, political vendetta prosecutor.
I understand there were several trips. Yes, can’t wait for this ace in the hole to be played. First, though, it must be made fresh again in everyone’s minds what a predator and pervert Slick Willy is, then when the trips to orgy island come up, nobody will be so stupid to think he wasn’t romping around with underage girls.
Monica was at least 19 years old when this Clinton thing got started. She looked and acted like what she was: a full grown woman who knew what she was doing. So this was not abuse. Clinton did abuse and forever taint his position of office though.
