Every now and again, even the staunchest of liberals gain a moment of clarity that we have to report on.
Such is the case of columnist Ruth Marcus, who penned a Washington Post op-ed that said the actions former President Bill Clinton took against women is far worse than anything Donald Trump has said.
Marcus was responding to Hillary Clinton’s willingness to use the ‘sexism’ card in every political battle.
The headline itself is startling from the liberal, as it begins “Trump is Right.”
She writes that Trump is “crude and vulgar,” but the “sordid sexual history” of President Clinton has been far more alarming.
Donald Trump is crude and vulgar. He’s every “-ist” in the book: racist, sexist, narcissist, for starters. His dis about Hillary Clinton getting “schlonged” in the 2008 campaign and the accompanying tirade about her “disgusting” bathroom break were weird and juvenile. But he has a point about Clinton playing the “woman’s card,” and about the male behavior that’s more concerning: her husband’s.
At it’s worst, Trump’s comments are mild according to Marcus, despite Hillary’s claims that he has “a penchant for sexism.”
Here are Trump’s awesome slams on Bill Clinton:
“Well, Bill Clinton has a penchant for something,” she responded. “‘Sexism’ isn’t the precise word for his predatory behavior toward women or his inexcusable relationship with a 22-year-old intern.”
Marcus concludes, “In the larger scheme of things, Bill Clinton’s conduct toward women is far worse than any of the offensive things that Trump has said.”
