#EndorseThis: Hillary Dares To Challenge Trump And GOP On #MeToo


October 9, 2018 12:25 pm

Hillary Clinton doesn’t have much patience for critics who say that decades-old allegations against her husband by Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick should now be “investigated” — or who compare those accusations to the dozens of similar charges lodged against Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh.

In a new interview with CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour, the former Secretary of State notes crisply that those charges were examined at great length (and a cost of millions) by independent counsel Kenneth Starr — who turned up insufficient evidence to pursue anything beyond Bill’s consensual liaison with Monica Lewinsky.

As Hillary says, “there’s a very significant difference” between now and then — namely, “the intense, long-lasting, partisan investigation that was conducted in the 90s.”

So she adds, “If the Republicans, starting with President Trump on down, want [to make] a comparison, then they should welcome such an investigation themselves.”

Oh snap.

Is there a tally somewhere?
How many health care clinics could be funded with all the money GOP has wasted on fruitless investigations of Hillary over the years?

Your tax dollars at work -- promoting fascists.

If all of us who voted for Hillary were to contribute $5 toward investigating McCONnell, I bet we could put him and many of his cronies behind bars.

and when it came time to repeat her charges, under oath, against Bill Clinton, she refused?
