Good (allegedly) for them. The whataboutism is getting super annoying. Neither Clinton is running for public office and the last one who did so wound up losing. If you want to have "Clinton is unworthy of receiving my vote / being elected to this office" as a debate, go for it once it matters.
The topic of debate is whether the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Alabama, Roy Moore, meets the public's reasons for being elected. That he is alleged--by multiple people, all of whom have very low incentive to lie have credible-sounding stores--to have committed sexual assault on several minors is a factor in that decision, whether or not he is actually convicted because there's a difference between legally convicted and what the world thinks of you (otherwise people wouldn't care about if you "were ever arrested" on job applications).
- rayiner 9y agoI think OP’s point may have been that Clinton was never convicted, but that doesn’t mean his reputation shouldn’t suffer as a result of the credible allegations.
- Spooky23 9y agoHe’s one of a small club of presidents who was impeached, and whose agenda was completely upended. History won’t treat him well.
- MBCook 9y agoIt was also ~20 years ago when we (sadly) didn’t treat things nearly as seriously. On The Media has a nice piece on exactly this topic over the weekend.
