87. This is a tired distraction. Clinton was and still popular after that little impeachment

ditty and we all know that was supposedly about lying under oath, but we just had a Supreme Court Justice confirmed who lied under oath, so why do only demand purity of Democrats.

Everything about him in regards to that is old news, so why keep bringing it up when there is an accused sexual assaulter in the White House and no one bothers holding him accountable in any fashion compared to how Bill C was treated, and that was decades before "MeToo."

Women like Bill Clinton just fine. He remains a very popular ex-President, so why borrow trouble and keep up this false narrative.
