The effort to clear the decks for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign continues. Now we learn that Clinton defended an accused rapist in 1975.
“Who cares?” asks Slate in a tweet today. Take the click bait and you’ll wind up at an article by Amanda Marcotte headlined, “It Shouldn’t Matter That Hillary Clinton Defended an Accused Rapist in 1975.” Does Marcotte make the case?
It turns out there’s a difference between “Should it matter?” and “Who cares?”

The Washington Free Beacon was able to dig up the tapes of an early ’80s interview for Esquire magazine in which Hillary laughs when questioned about the case.
@seanmdav @Slate I think it's more the "attacking a rape victim" part people care about.

Romney's "Big Bird" line was not a gaffe, he's said it before on the stump: http://t.co/QMlh1l72

So I guess the whole rape culture thing is A-ok to perpetuate so long as Hillary Clinton makes some bank on it. Good to know.

@Slate with another trolling headline that utterly misses the point. Good doggie! Now go fetch.
