Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Hillary Clinton, the former first lady, secretary of state, senator, and all-around stateswoman who lost a presidential election to businessman Donald Trump, once covered up for a man she was closely associated with who was accused of sexual harassment.
Wait, wait, wait…I’m not referring to her husband, Wild Bill Clinton.
Clinton actually covered up for someone the New York Times is calling a “top advisor” during her failed 2008 bid for the presidency. The Grey Lady just broke the story:
A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young subordinate was kept on the campaign at Mrs. Clinton’s request, according to four people familiar with what took place.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns Strider. But Mrs. Clinton did not. Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling, and the young woman was moved to a new job.

This is richer than a thick piece of cheesecake. Hillary Clinton is a self-styled champion of women who, besides excusing and covering for her husband’s misdeeds, also did the same for an individual who worked closely on her campaign.
Whatever happened to “believe all women”? What happened to #MeToo? What will Hillary’s feminist fans do now that they’ve learned their hero didn’t lift a finger to stop a dirty old man from preying on a young girl?
We all know the answer to that question: blame President Trump. Cause why not? Just look at these pathetic excuses:
Yeah well the entire GOP has allowed a man accused of sexual assault 20 times over and who literally is stealing taxpayer $ and lying daily to the public to remain in the WH. #TrumpIsGuilty

Trump is cracking the country in 2 and you are worried about a lost campaign in 2008.

These are not serious people serious about women’s rights. They’re all shameful political partisans. And, yet again, we get more proof that Hillary is a pure political operator and not a principled person.
