What if Ken Starr was right?
In the longstanding liberal narrative about Bill Clinton and his scandals, the one pushed by Clinton courtiers and ratified in media coverage of his post-presidency, our 42nd president was only guilty of being a horndog, his affairs were nobody’s business but his family’s, and oral sex with Monica Lewinsky was a small thing that should never have put his presidency in peril.
That narrative could not survive the current wave of outrage over male sexual misconduct.

It's about time! It took liberals long enough!
I am sure Bill will be devastated that you won't be voting for him 20 years ago.
I am proud of you for not reading the article. The NYT must be a rightwing rag.
You do realize a lot of Trump voters rationalized voting for him in spite of the allegations because a lot of Democrats did the same with Bill Clinton, don't you?
You do realize that we knew about Bill's issues AFTER he was elected and we knew about trumps BEFORE he was elected, right?
Nope, we knew about them during the 1992 election, or did you forget about Gennifer Flowers?
Then you admit not knowing what millions of other people knew before Bill was elected?
The Dems are already making excuses for Franken and sweeping it under the rug. Anything they have to say about Clinton will soon be forgotten. Business as usual with them.
If Clinton had resigned or had been removed, al gore wins in 2000 and someone like Donald trump would have never been nominated.
once it's acceptable to have a perjuror and admitted sexual harasser/accused rapist as president, there's no shutting that barn door.
What if Ken Starr was right? Alright. Right about what? Indiscreet sex or just cheating sex?
What's the difference?
Don't know. Do you?
"What if Ken Starr was right?" LOL.
You mean the guy who was fired from his most recent position because he failed to take any action against rapes and other sexual assaults on the Baylor U campus?
Prior to that the most prominent position Starr held was as the lawyer who illegally colluded with the attorneys of Paula Jones in order to set up a political opponent. Starr should have been disbarred for what he did in that case.
I see you didn't read the article.
