This MSNBC host's Freudian slip could become a Donald Trump talking point any day now:
What is funny is the Media spent the 1990's overlooking Bill Clinton's infidelities (as well as his rape of Juanita Broaddrick), but now the audience is different. We will see how the Millenials react to this news, because this is stuff they didn't know. The progressive public schools don't teach what happened in the 1990's, and the progressive Media won't talk about it...unless Trump brings it up.
Remember, young people aren't invested in the culture wars. So when they see a sexual predator like Bill Clinton, they will call the spade a spade, even if they agree with his politics.
If you don't believe me, consider the 1960's. The baby boomer generation agreed with Lyndon Johnson when it came to civil rights, but they had no problem turning on him over the Vietnam War.
Young people have the incredible ability to parse people's actions, picking out both the good and bad (as they define it) and calling them to account for such actions. So even though feminists of the 1990's conveniently overlooked Clinton's callous treatment of women, young people today have nothing invested in Bill Clinton's political success or failure.
The Left has spent the educational career of these young people clearly defining sexual abuse for them. This is a good thing, especially now that it will come back to roost on the Left's head, and expose the hypocrisy of the Left on the issue of Bill Clinton.
