...especially this:

Shit - if being cheated on makes a woman unworthy of leadership in ANY field, in any profession - I wonder what the 'real agenda' is here?

Is it slut shaming Monica?
Or painting Hillary Clinton as a weak woman that got punked?

I expect we will see this sort of thing - either implied or overtly stated - from the RW should Hillary decide to run. Sadly, I fear we may see some of it here, as well.
