Celebrity Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Twitter Friday night in an attempt to dunk on Sen. Lindsey Graham after he said, “I’m fine with Trump ‘lying about sex.'”
Ocasio-Cortez fired back, “Didn’t he impeach Bill Clinton over the same thing?”

Um, no. No he DID NOT. As the Daily Beast article she linked to clearly shows:
From there, Trump’s most loyal servant in the Senate compared the president’s lies about whether or not he paid to keep women silent about their alleged affairs to President Bill Clinton’s lies about having “sexual relations” with Monica Lewinsky. “I voted against that article of impeachment, because I think most people, blindsided, would lie to protect their family,” Graham added. “Lying about sex wasn’t enough then for me and it’s not enough now.”
Or she could have just looked up the vote which took “less than a minute to find”:

Here’s a helpful reminder for AOC:
No, Clinton was impeached after being accused of "lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice." https://t.co/xQ1r66OFdB https://t.co/fRCM5ByMEH

But we do like where she’s going with this and MORE Dems should call out Bill for cheating on Hillary and lying about it:
Is the impeachment of Bill Clinton considered a good thing or a bad thing now? https://t.co/7AkhBNwppv

Another reminder for her is that Dems had no problem trotting out Bill in 2016. So, which standard is it going to be? If Dems think they’re going to win this hypocrisy back-and-forth, they’re sadly mistaken:
Related reminder: Democrats won this argument. Every last person left in the party, and every public commentator, rejected Graham's position. 18 years later, they tried to bring the Clintons back. Recall that when they now embrace it. What he said then was right, and still is. https://t.co/RqS2aRD3hP
