| Sen. Gillebrand (NY Daily News) |
Senator Kirsten Gillebrand (D-NY), a staunch long-time supporter of both Clintons, now says
President Clinton should have resigned 20 years ago during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The comment drew immediate fire from Philippe Reines, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton, who was first lady at the time of the affair. “Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons’ endorsements, money, and seat. Hypocrite,” he wrote on Twitter. “Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck.”
After decades of silence, Democrats are finding it advantageous to denounce sex-abuse and sex-crimes committed by members of their own party (during this period there's been no such reticence about pillorying Republicans), though it means throwing the
Big He and She under the bus.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.--Groucho Marx
