As Twitchy reported Friday, MSNBC host Chris Hayes of all people called for a “real reckoning” with the charges against Bill Clinton. That cloud has been hanging over the Democrats for decades, and lightning strikes whenever Democrats try to claim that the GOP is the party of sexual harassment and impropriety.
This tweet from ThinkProgress editor Ian Millhiser is well over a year old, but someone on Saturday dug into his archives and revived it for discussion considering the current environment:

You discredit and devalue every woman who accused him.
Shame on you.https://t.co/z61FU3ZX0l— BerningNan #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll (@NanInKansas) November 11, 2017
How can someone be so out of touch to think this is actually a good thing to say & then have the lack of sense to put it out into the world. https://t.co/rxT6frqnCJ

Juanita Broaddrick might disagree https://t.co/cIo1dbtNjG

Juanita Broadrick disagrees and this is exactly what I mean when I say the Left should just just the hell up. The Right has much to fix, no doubt, but the Left is the original silencers of abused women. https://t.co/TIDMcvdqCC

I think Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut would have something to say about that… https://t.co/IP6LUL91ov

Yeah because Monica Lewinsky hasn't been slut shamed her entire adult life right? A lot of it by Dems. https://t.co/eUKPdahdN4

Leaving Clinton's other rape/sexual misconduct allegations aside, there's no denying his confirmed affair with Monica Lewinsky caused her to suffer massive personal humiliation. Shame on you. https://t.co/skFZaa3s3E https://t.co/qEjTCeZucM

Pro-tip: don’t use other sex offenders and alleged rapists to excuse sex offenders and alleged pedophiles. https://t.co/dbJQPSbCMZ

I expect @HillaryClinton to like this. She put a lot of effort in to smearing and silencing victims. https://t.co/QHpn7EORGi

Old tweets are a bitch. So are Bill Clinton's rape victims, according to Hillary. https://t.co/t10AxIhWxX
