Trump raises Chappaquiddick in anti-Clinton tirade
thehill.com ^ | 10/10/16 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 10/10/2016 3:42:22 PM PDT by cotton1706

Donald Trump savaged Hillary Clinton as an enabler of former President Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual crimes and raised former Sen. Edward Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick scandal to argue that the media is seeking to cover up the Clinton family’s misdeeds.

Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday, Trump called Bill Clinton a “predator” and accused Hillary Clinton of making it “possible for him to take advantage of even more women.”

“Bill Clinton was the worst abuser of women ever to sit in the Oval Office,” Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, said. “He was a predator. Hillary Clinton systematically attacked and discredited the victims of Bill Clinton’s sexual harassment and assault.” “For decades, Hillary Clinton has been deeply familiar with her husband’s predatory behavior and instead of trying to stop it, she made it possible for him to take advantage of even more women,” Trump continued. “She put even more women in harms way. Then she says she loves women. … She’s a total hypocrite.”

“The hypocrites in the media don’t want to talk about what Hillary Clinton has done to these victims,” Trump said. “They don’t want to talk about what their political heroes have done to other women. People like Kennedy, Chappaquiddick — we remember that.”

“Driving his car into a pond,” Trump continued. “Instead of calling the police, possibly saving her life, in fact almost definitely being able to save her life, he went home and went to sleep, did not report the incident to the police for 12 hours, yet he was hailed a hero.”

I love it. This is exactly what he should be doing. It’s about time people put the truth out there. Teddy Kennedy avoided jail, or at least indictment and a trial, because he was connected. Anyone without that type of get out of jail free card would have at the very least gone to trial for manslaughter or gross negligence. He, however, went on to run for the Presidency in the primaries, and then went on to be one of the longest running Senators in US history (over 46 years in the Senate). I am willing to forgive anyone, and can forgive Teddy for whatever he’s done (that’s between him and God), but for people aligned on that side of the aisle to act ‘holier than thou’ is reprehensible.

They should have never gotten into a pissing match with a skunk. They thought Trump was Mitt Romney or John Boner.

They knew. This gambit was executed to counter the leak of the GS spech. It's a play that opens hrc to exposure, but keeps issues out. She's trying to depress Trump votes. Risking some of her own.

The last time I checked, Ted Kennedy was way down in this year’s presidential election tracking polls.

Yes, but he's a big RAT hero, GOD even. Trump tearing him and the press down at the same time.

When Hillary brought up the Russians trying to influence elections, Trump should have brought up democrat Ted Kennedy’s letter where he tries to get Soviets to influence one.

They know Trump will counterpunch. They do not know to what extent and style.

This election is about the survival of America as we once knew it.

Why the United States is in this mess is do largely in part to pieces of sh!t like Ted Kennedy. He needs to be exhumed from Arlington Cemetery and his rotting corpse dumped somewhere in the Mexican desert where it belongs. Matter of fact, the whole Dead Kennedy clan should get the same treatment.

Trump forgot to include the words "sober up".

Yes, Uncle Teddy was all for offshore drilling....

But not offshore windmills as I recall.

Youtube view of the serial rapist, when Trump exposed Bubba as a serial rapist!

Look at Bill Clinton’s face after Donald Trump called him out for treating women worse than any other politician in American history during his Town Hall Presidential Debate against Hillary Clinton. Trump brought Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Kathy Shelton as his guests, shortly after they gave a joint press conference about Bill and Hillary’s treatment of them. Media analyst Mark Dice has the story. © 2016 by M

I would say he's sober now but with all that formaldehyde, he's still pickled.

Did you see the comments on that youtube video? Classic!

One person said he was talking to a Clinton supporter who told him “Bill Clinton isn’t running for president” to which he replied “you are right, he was already elected president by people like you; twice. So obviously you are ok with a rapist for president right?”

Well played sir, well played.

Yet Trumps comments from over a decade ago make him unfit to hold office. I remember Ted running for the presidency a couple of times. Walking away from that bridge wasn’t a permanent stain on his character. It didn’t eliminate him outright for holding the office.

You are right. Teds not running, but there’s a common thread.

I wonder if Trump is doubling down on the Dem rapists stories because Gloria All-red is now coming forward with women who are claiming to have been assalulted by him.

Nah. They would have done a floater by now, or in the primaries, like they did with Herman Cain. No dead bodies around Trump, but also no evidence of big lawsuit payouts (e.g. Roger Ailes style). He's no (old school) boy scout, but they aren't on the ballot this year.

Hopefully for Bill, there are no ashtrays on the plane.

Hate to contrary the next President, but JFK was probably worse - though not sure if he ever raped any of them like Billy Jeff did. Didn't JFK say he had to have sex with a strange woman every night or he went ape?
