As prominent men everywhere are being prosecuted, forced to resign from their positions or disgraced in other ways for their inappropriate sexual behavior, why is nothing happening to former president Bill Clinton? Why aren’t the #MeToo people demanding he be put on trial for what he did?

Clinton has a long history of pursuing other women while married to Hillary Clinton. Some of them claim he sexually assaulted them. Hollywood director Harvey Weinstein is being prosecuted for sexual assault as a result of the #MeToo movement. He may spend years in prison.

But Clinton still writes books and travels around the world giving highly paid speeches as if nothing happened. He earned more than $100 million for speeches between January 2001 and January 2013. The TV networks still look to him for commentary. He’s still a celebrity.

The Women Bill Clinton Sexually Harassed

Juanita Broaddrick said Clinton raped her in 1978 while he was running for governor of Arkansas. Clinton denies it. Law enforcement has not performed an investigation. Kathleen Willey said Clinton touched her inappropriately in 1993. She was volunteering at the White House.

Paula Jones said Clinton exposed himself to her in 1991, while he was governor and she was an Arkansas state employee. She sued him for sexual harassment in 1994. Gennifer Flowers said Clinton sexually harassed her, chasing after her until she agreed to have a romantic relationship with him. There are other women who have reported sexual harassment by Clinton.

Monica Lewinsky

Clinton’s affair with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky is textbook sexual harassment of a subordinate. He exploited her between 1995 and 1997 and got caught in 1998. Even though Lewinsky still insists “it was a consensual relationship,” others recognize that he was a powerful man taking advantage of a much younger and less powerful woman. Lewinsky has now had a #MeToo realization and sees it as an abuse of power. “My boss took advantage of me.” While it was a consensual, “Any ‘abuse’ came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.”

Lewinsky has struggled in life due to the affair, whereas Clinton has done just fine. He and his wife still control much of the Democratic Party. Lewinsky developed post-traumatic stress disorder from the stress of the notoriety. Clinton admitted it was not appropriate,” “wrong,” and a “critical lapse in judgment.”

A CEO caught doing that would have been forced to step down. His wife would be the first to criticize the CEO.

But Clinton now defends his affair with Lewinsky. “You have to — really ignore what the context was,” Clinton said in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. “But, you know, she’s living in a different context. And she did it for different reasons. So I — but I just disagree with her.”

Clinton’s Excuses

In an interview with NBC’s Craig Melvin, he said he wouldn’t have done anything differently today. “If the facts were the same today, I wouldn’t [do things differently].” He still would sexually exploit a young woman working for him? Cheat on his wife? Really, he wouldn’t do anything differently?

Perhaps most appalling of all, he admitted in an interview that aired Thursday that it was acceptable when he was younger to do things to women against their will. He said “norms have changed” in terms of “what you can do to somebody against their will,” during an interview Judy Woodruff on PBS News Hour.

He went on to defend his behavior by appealing to public opinion. “Two thirds of the American people sided with me.” He also claimed to care about the issue. “I had a sexual-harassment policy when I was governor in the ‘80s,” he says.

James Patterson, the co-author of Clinton’s new book, The President is Missing, jumped in with his own defense of Clinton. “You think President Kennedy should have resigned? Do you think President Johnson should have resigned?” In other words, everyone exploits young women, so why blame Clinton?

Those two presidents served before the phrase “sexual harassment” was coined, and before the 1986 Supreme Court case that barred sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Clinton Supports #MeToo

At the same time, Clinton claims to support the #MeToo movement. At an event recently, he said, “I support the #MeToo movement and I think it’s long overdue and I have always tried to support it in the decisions and policies that I’ve advanced.” How overdue? Not back to 1997, for sure.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., says Clinton should have resigned over the affair with Lewinsky. More and more people on the left are admitting they were wrong to dismiss the accusations against him. It’s too little, too late, but more evidence against the former president. Even his political allies are dropping him.

Most Americans agree. A Rasmussen poll found that over half of Americans, 53 percent, believe Clinton is a sexual predator. Remember his appeal to public opinion? He’s not doing that anymore.

The speaking invitations are still coming in. Law enforcement is not investigating him. The TV news shows still ask him for his opinion. Harvey Weinstein must really envy him.
