this says it all for Trump supporters, what's good for the goose is good for the gander:
Myself, I was uncomfortable with it then, so I should be now, I guess.
There was no #MeToo back then. Though it should be pointed out that the "vast right wing conspiracy" was doing a faux #Metoo because it served their aims of digging and their immediate goal was a perjury trap, but it was also an opportunist venture in case that didn't work out.
My main point ,I guess: since they did it themselves, no one should be surprised if they think it's a conspiracy now!
A summary for the youngins and those with poor memories: Monica Lewinsky was not the initial main game, it an unexpected surprise sideshow that developed out of seeking out Paula Jones to sue the president for sexual harassment (using Linda Tripp and Out of that came more #MeToo's, Kathleen Willey et. al.
This is the #Metoo problem of faux allegations writ large. There's no getting around it now, as far as any President is concerned, because of so many pols now being found guilty of sexual harassment or similar.
Surprise surprise footnote I found googling, says it all:
Interesting also to read Mike Isikoff looking back on it now, including Weinstein, #MeToo.
So many ironies, including little bizarre ones like Tripp's media friend Lucianne Goldberg, friend of Drudge, on the blue dress, is the mother of Jonah Goldberg. The latter now a virulent conservative Never Trumper pundit. He was just a dopey kid starting out blogging at the time.

So is Jonah getting more sensible, or is he just trailing my views more? Tentatively I might say both, but...
