2. In her case, it WAS the intern's fault

She was put up by RW operatives to initiate a relationship with President Clinton, who I’m betting wouldn’t have done anything if she hadn’t hiked her skirt to show her thong.

9. Whaa? She wasn't put up by anyone

She was a silly, bedazzled young woman who flirted with a man who should have known better.

The RW used her after she confided in the wrong woman (Linda Tripp)

5. It's what republicans do. They point their fingers

at everyone but themselves. Regardless of whatever you might have heard, personal responsibility is NOT a republican trait!

8. It wasn't an intern - Sean Riley is Johnson's chief of staff - Riley had just worked for Trump in WH

Johnson's chief of staff Sean Riley texted Pence aide Chris Hodgson: Johnson "needs to hand something to VPOTUS please advise."

"What is it?" Hodgson texted back.

Riley texted in reply: "Alternate slates of electors for MI and WI because archivist didn't receive them."

Hodgson responded: "Do not give that to him."

From February 2020 to January 2021, Riley was special assistant to former president Donald Trump, working in the White House Office of Legislative Affairs.

Sean Riley worked under Ron Johnson as a legislative assistant (2015), legislative counsel (2015-2017), legislative director (2017-2018), and chief counsel (2018-2020).
