SO BRAVE: Here's another call for Democrats to face up to the allegations against Bill Clinton (finally)

As Twitchy reported, it was MSNBC host Chris Hayes who just last week suggested that Democrats were “overdue for a real reckoning” with the sexual assault allegations leveled at Bill Clinton. And now, just days later, The Atlantic has posted a piece about exactly that:

It's time for Americans—and especially Democrats—to face the allegations against Bill Clinton, @CaitlinPacific argueshttps://t.co/xfoESphnIT pic.twitter.com/pRsW64oKuW

Caitlin Flanagan writes:

[Clinton’s] was a pattern of behavior; it included an alleged violent assault; the women involved had far more credible evidence than many of the most notorious accusations that have come to light in the past five weeks. But Clinton was not left to the swift and pitiless justice that today’s accused men have experienced. Rather, he was rescued by a surprising force: machine feminism. The movement had by then ossified into a partisan operation and it was willing—eager—to let this friend of the sisterhood enjoy a little droit de seigneur.

She’s absolutely right that the “feminists” of the ’90s threw whatever credibility they had left overboard in order to stand by their man during his impeachment hearings. But something about that tweet — “It’s time for Americans to face the allegations” — just didn’t sit right.

Wouldn't the time have been in the 90s? https://t.co/IFGrqgS2LC

If @HillaryClinton was in the White House right now, this story would NEVER have made it to print. You don't get credit by doing this 2 decades later, now that he nor HRC are running for office,

It seems some people aren’t comfortable with the idea of holding Bill Clinton to 2017 standards:

This is hot garbage. Neither Bill nor Hillary will ever appear on a ballot again. There's no need to nor benefit from re-litigating the changes in American society between 1992 and today. https://t.co/7fGZAcHdjG

What's the point of this? Seriously? Is Bill Clinton running for president again? Is he currently impacting any aspect of government right now?

Sure, but can we address the people that are in power first? Or is this another roadblock to having a discussion about the behavior overall because it's "not fair" https://t.co/nDYlOnlDG0

Impeachment and multi-year investigations costing millions of dollars and…bupkiss. No apologist me but, the white people are still so mad that this Southern white man betrayed their systems of oppression that they must destroy him. And his wife. Not amazing. https://t.co/mcmYIsKb7p

Why?
Bubba's not running again for any office and he got impeached for lying about Monica.
What more do we need to "face"? https://t.co/dAVTyv14UV
