When Bill Clinton reflexively pointed out to the Today Show that he left the White House $16 million in debt, implying that he suffered appropriately for his treatment of Monica Lewinsky, he was criticized by progressives as profoundly Not Getting It. But 20 years after the end of Clinton’s presidency—amid a wave of…
Some might say that calling out Democrats on immigration is not productive at this moment, when the Trump administration is falsely claiming that they are responsible for the laws that permit families being torn apart. (In fact, the family separation policy was implemented entirely by the Trump administration.)
If you were to hastily design an algorithm to mimic what a politically powerful 71-year-old man credibly accused of serial sexual assault might have to say about rape culture and the resignation of former Senator Al Franken, it would probably sound a lot like what Bill Clinton has come up with lately.
Over the past few decades, “welfare” has become a dirty word in America.
Earlier this week, former president Bill Clinton demonstrated a predictable inability to take responsibility and show true remorse over the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and further showed a complete misunderstanding of what the #MeToo movement means. In an interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin, Clinton got extremely defensive…
Bill Clinton, an accused predator, is one of the last people you’d ever expect to have meaningful thoughts about the #MeToo era. But in an interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin that aired Monday morning, Clinton proved to exceed even the lowest of possible expectations.
A certain kind of person might be waiting for the Clintons—Hillary in particular—to burst back onto the political scene to help the Democrats win across the country in November’s midterms. But for a host of reasons, the Clintons have been largely absent, with a Monday report from The New York Times further suggesting…
It is tempting to think that the relationship between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky two decades ago might be viewed differently in the context of the #MeToo discussion. Clinton’s freedom to carry on with life despite the workplace “affair” would appear to be a product of our culture’s more sexist past. Surely a…
A new Gallup poll says that roughly the same number of people believe Donald Trump deserves re-election right now as those who believed Barack Obama deserved re-election in 2010, and Bill Clinton deserved re-election in 1994.
Thankfully, Donald Trump stayed far away from former first lady Barbara Bush’s funeral services in Texas on Saturday, which were attended by four former presidents and Trump’s rival in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton.
In 1993, standing in the White House’s east room surrounded by city governors, Bill Clinton brought Melanie Musick to the microphone, where she told the story of her husband, who was killed in a food court by a mentally unstable shooter. He assured the public he wasn’t infringing on an all-American pastime, invoking…
The Politico today suggests that Democrats may be reluctant to let Bill Clinton campaign for them in the midterms, given the #MeToo movement and the party’s desire to rally women against our sexual predator president. Good!
“My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans,” President Trump said Tuesday during his State of the Union address, to steady applause from Republicans in attendance. “To protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American Dream.…
This weekend, all five living former presidents attended a benefit for the victims of recent hurricanes. There, George W. Bush—who’s best remembered for using his office to launch America’s endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq under false pretenses—cracked a joke to former President Barack Obama while former President…
At Northeastern University in Boston, more than 300 unionized low-wage workers are set to go on strike this Wednesday if they don’t reach an agreement with the school. Also scheduled to appear at Northeastern University this week: Bill and Chelsea Clinton. Will the Clintons cross a picket line?
“Was I doomed from the start?” Hillary Clinton wonders toward the end of What Happened, her new book about her failed 2016 presidential campaign. Clinton never quite admits it in so many words, but she probably was.
Perhaps inconveniently for our next president, the trial in the class action RICO lawsuit against Trump University—accusing it of being a "fraudulent scheme" that Trump himself had little or nothing to do with—this month. Jury selection begins November 28th. This is the same case in which Trump made derogatory comments
Last night, Hillary Clinton lost the presidency after an incredibly long and storied career of public service. She has been a United States senator, a first lady, the Secretary of State, but above all, she has endured. For decades, she has faced relentless attacks on not only her beliefs and credibility but her…
PHILADELPHIA—Hillary Clinton framed tomorrow's election in generational terms at her penultimate rally of 2016, firing up supporters just steps from the birthplace of the nation and hours before polls opened.
Well, this is a little awkward.
