You mean Hillary Clinton is a flaming, faux-feminist hypocrite? Who’d’a thunk?
It's not like Hillary to defend someone like this. https://t.co/RfRJholel6

I find it hard to believe Hillary Clinton would stand by and protect someone accused of sexually harassing a young subordinate.

Come on. We all know Hillary Clinton would never help protect a powerful man or political ally accused of sexual harassment from the consequences of his actions.

Never!
More from the New York Times:
A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young subordinate was kept on the campaign at Mrs. Clinton’s request, according to four people familiar with what took place.
Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns Strider. But Mrs. Clinton did not. Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling, and the young woman was moved to a new job.
…
The complaint against Mr. Strider was made by a 30-year-old woman who shared an office with him. She told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed her shoulders inappropriately, kissed her on the forehead and sent her a string of suggestive emails, including at least one during the night, according to three former campaign officials familiar with what took place.
The complaint was taken to [Patti Solis Doyle], the campaign manager, who approached Mrs. Clinton and urged that Mr. Strider, who was married at the time, be fired, according to the officials familiar with what took place. Mrs. Clinton said she did not want to, and instead he remained on her staff.
Raise your hand if you’re remotely surprised by this. Go on … we’ll wait.

Those of you who have long suspected that Bill Clinton wasn’t her first rodeo, give yourselves a big hand.

Well, at least this didn’t come out until after her presidential campaigns, right?
Shocking that the Clintons would coverup something!!!
It's like breathing to them.— Steve (@SteveW548) January 26, 2018

Hillary fights for women, except for when she lets an advisor accused of harassment stay on her team. https://t.co/pswqCOTN3e
