(9,989 posts)He was the one cheating on a spouse, not her. He was the one who held ALL the power in this equation. (Literally the most powerful person in the world). She was a 22-year-old intern who had her mistake thrust into the spotlight in the most horrific and degrading way possible, and of course the Republicans used every opportunity to degrade and demean her and Bill both - but especially her because women always get the shit end of the stick in these matters, especially if they have no power of their own.
Frankly I admire her courage for getting through that and growing up as strong as she did. I follow her on Twitter, and she is clever, funny, and 100% on board with Democratic ideals.
She has the right to tell her side of the story and have it be seen, and maybe by a more sympathetic audience than she had in the 90s. And if she gets paid, so what? Get it, girl.
