He asked the former first lady, former senator, former secretary of state and former 2016 presidential campaign losing candidate if she believed her husband's affair with then-22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky was an abuse of power.
"Absolutely not," she said without cracking a smile. She even said that Bill was right not to resign amid the scandal the led to his impeachment on perjury and obstruction charges.
"It wasn't an abuse of power?" Dokoupil asked incredulously because when a 49-year-old U.S. president gets an Oval Office BJ by a young, impressionable intern, it is abuse of his office, no matter what Hillary says.
But Clinton responded, "No. No." She said that it wasn't an abuse of power because Lewinsky "was an adult" at the time of the BJ in the Oval Office.
Clinton then skirted over the issue by talking about Trump.
"But let me ask you this: Where's the investigation of the current incumbent, against whom numerous allegations have been made, and which he dismisses, denies, and ridicules?" she said, hoping Dokoupil forgot the original topic. "So, there was an investigation [of Bill], and it, as I believe, came out in the right place."
Came out in the right place? Is she kidding? Monica Lewinsky was just one of many who the #MeToo movement failed to prosecute. Let's never forget Bill's alleged rape victim, Juanita Broadderick. She actually has some corroboration to her allegation.
Clinton's comments came swiftly after she rejected comparisons between Bill's actions and the uncorroborated allegations leveled at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. In fact, she called the swearing-in ceremony at the White House "a political rally," at a Comedy News Network (CNN) last week.
Hillary, however, is a political joke. I hope she runs again in 2020.
