Edit: A few comments mention the power imbalance between Lewinsky as an intern and the president. This meme shouldn’t be seen as me approving of Clinton’s behavior but point out that an adult man having “sexual relations” with a child should have some bearing against a sitting president.

If Clinton is in the Epstein files, show the world.

    I remember when the Speaker of the House, Bob Livingston, called for Clinton to resign over the Lewinski scandal. Then announced that he too had an extramarital affair, held himself to the same standards, and issued his own resignation. It was about to come out anyway. The investigative journalists at Hustler magazine thought it would be interesting for the public to know how many of the impeachment managers were unfaithful to their wives, and Livingston’s name came up.

    Livingston was replaced as speaker by Dennis Hastert who, so far as I know, never slept with a woman other than his wife. He did however eventually go to prison for raping little boys who were not his wife.
