Not to excuse such - nor denials of such if true or false accusations - but while the Left can even excuse adulterers ("In Defense of Adulterers," The New Yorker, December 18 & 25, 2017) while seeking to lynch conservatives for what happened in the distant paste (which does not establish present character, though denial valid accusations do), yet its treatment of its own (past and present) and the inquisitorial zeal Left engages when waging war against conservatives manifests a double standard. (Try to find much of anything negative in Lyndon B. Johnson - Wikipedia) Not that we cannot engage in the same to some degree.
We could have a National Holiday for a man of God that was married and screwed anything wearing a skirt, hired prostitutes to beat, and enjoyed watching his entourage screw whores he’d hired. With him as their moral standard, it is no wonder the unwed mother rate in one demographic is so high.
Oh it certainly didn’t start there.
Eisenhower was banging his British personal secretary during the war.
Buchanan and Lincoln were both clearly gay.
Warren Harding was nailing everything in a skirt.
Do we even need to discuss JFK?
LBJ was another like Harding who had a veritable harem of ho’s while in the White House.
Then there was Clinton.....
I believe it was Grover Cleaveland who had an affair before running for president.
“Ma, Ma, Where’s My Pa?” Gone to the White House Ha, Ha, Ha!
Alison Dagnes, a political science professor at Shippensburg University and editor of Sex Scandals in American Politics, “…is doubtful that the Stormy Daniels legal challenge will end up impacting Trump or his fans’ opinion of him in a major way.”
Historic Presidential AffairsThe list includes an historian, too, Doris Kearns Goodwin, who boffed LBJ while writing his "psychobiography". Maybe it "liberated" her, too (to write poor corrupted, and plagiarized history). From this article, Kearns Goodwin on her other admired philanderer, FDR:
The couple considered a divorce, but stayed together in order to protect their social standing and FDR’s career. Even though the episode had deeply hurt Eleanor, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin writes in No Ordinary Time that it ultimately made her “free to define a new and different partnership with her husband, free to seek new avenues of fulfillment.”I guess Goodwin would know.
Bonus round: Hillary’s went down on more women than I have.
Bill Clinton
Sally Hemmings had a child, most likely by Thomas Jeffersons brother or father. The DNA tests were not conclusive re President Jefferson.
Horsefeathers. The press defended The Hero of the Bay of Pigs because he was their ideal of the picture perfect president, young, urbane, sophisticated, sufficiently liberal. The fact he was an incompetent twit who constantly betrayed Jackie was never a factor in the MSM's portrayal of the absolutely wonderful Jack. Same with his drug addiction and his chronic back problems.
