Slick Willy C. decided talking about Al Franken’s sexual harassment allegations and the #metoo movement was a good move for him.
Um… No, Bill. Sit this one out, you moron.
As you can imagine… it was beyond screwed up.
Wow, I missed Bill Clinton weighing in on Franken, citing SNL colleagues defending him and questioning some allegationshttps://t.co/vzhLbmlqUQ pic.twitter.com/bi2pxMf5MF

Wow.
“Norms have changed in what you could do to someone against their will.”
I’m sorry, but wtf?
Sure… people have gotten A LOT more sensitive to anything that may be considered flirtatious or whatnot…
BUT WHAT IN THE FRESH HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
WHEN HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN ABLE TO DO THINGS TO PEOPLE AGAINST THEIR WILL?
Oh… I suppose if you’re a RAPIST who got away with it, you WERE able to do that. GOOD FOR YOU, BILL.
“Norms have changed about what you can do to someone against their will” is a hell of a sentiment https://t.co/wjOwGsxiTo

Absolutely repulsive.

Taken out of context – he meant having a power position with a subordinate – hence their consensual relationship that they had

Really? Did he?
How does this even excuse anything?
You can do things to your SUBORDINATES “against their will?”
The context is when he was the AG, Gov and president, his view was that when you’re the boss, you can do whatever you want to someone. Don’t whitewash it. His actions back up his words.

100%
Have you heard of Juanita Broaddrick, Sassan?
Am I to take from that sentence that there WAS a time when it was OK to do something to someone against their will? pic.twitter.com/8hcXzbONqh

Yup.
If you’re a Clinton.
