An MSNBC co-host slammed Hillary Clinton on Friday for lashing out at Donald Trump over sexual misconduct claims while her husband Bill was never held accountable for his own.
‘Hillary Clinton needs to stop,’ Mika Brzezinski said of the former Democratic presidential candidate on the ‘Morning Joe’ program.
‘She needs to stop talking about this topic unless Bill Clinton wants to come forward and apologize for being a sexual harasser, for settling [lawsuits] with women, for what happened with Monica.’
Mrs. Clinton said over the weekend at an Arkansas event honoring Bill that President Trump has ‘disgraced the office’ because several women have accused him of sexual harassment and abuse.
‘Morning Joe’ host Mika Brzezinski said Monday that Hillary Clinton should stop criticizing Donald Trump over sexual misconduct claims until Bill Clinton apologizes for his own
Mrs. Clinton said Saturday in Arkansas that President Trump has ‘disgraced the office’ because several women have accused him of sexual harassment and abuse
Brzezinski said Bill Clinton should have resigned ‘in real time’ when his affair with Monica Lewinsky was uncovered and exploded into a scandal
And she asked during an interview on WABC Radio that ‘we have a man who’s accused of sexual assault sitting in the Oval Office, don’t we?’
‘The very credible accusations against him have not been taken seriously. We can’t excuse the president from this debate.’
Trump has denied all the accusations against him.
Brzezinski fired back Monday against the Clintons, saying the 42nd president should have resigned over his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
‘Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, sexually harassing someone who is 22 years old when you’re in power is just wrong, and you should go – in real time,’ she declared.
And she noted the contrition of other men accused this year of sexual harassment, including Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken and journalist Mark Halperin.
‘He needs to apologize as quickly as Al Franken did, as much as Mark Halperin did. And as much as he wants to!’ Brzezinski said.
‘If you’re not going to apologize and it’s clear you’ve done something wrong, please, please, you the politician and your wife the politician need to not talk about these issues.’
‘Just don’t, OK? – Unless you want to come to the table with some honesty.’
President Bill Clinton carried on a sexual affair with Lewinsky, then a 22-year-old White House intern, and was impeached for lying about it under oath – but kept his job
Brzezinski said that ‘Bill Clinton’s behavior was accepted’ and criticized Hillary for defending him
New York Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said on Thursday that Bill Clinton should have left office because of the Lewinsky scandal.
Brzezinski agreed Monday and said the reason Donald Trump became president was the irony of Hillary Clinton lambasting Trump over sexual misconduct allegations while staying silent about Bill Clinton’s
‘Bill Clinton’s behavior was accepted. It was pushed under the rug, and even women defended him. … And his wife ran for president even though these women who accused him were attacked in the media, were maligned, or settled [in court],’ she said.
