Speaking this afternoon at Scott Walker’s big announcement event, Rachel Campos-Duffy — wife of Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy — said took a swipe at Hillary’s hubby:
.@rcamposduffy:
Scott has been married to Tonette for 24 years. 24 is Bill Clinton's favorite age." #Walker16— Jessie Opoien (@jessieopie) July 13, 2015
Her candor came as a bit of a shock to some journos:

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s marriage has been a sham for years, thanks to Bill’s infidelity and Hillary’s lust for power. But pointing that out is what’s offensive?

Puh-leeze.
Hi @JakeSherman Bill Clinton banged an intern in the oval office with imported cuban cigars. Sorry if that bothers you.

@JakeSherman @jessieopie @RCamposDuffy is it factually inaccurate? Or is it just embarrassing to his wife?
— F. X. Turk (@Frank_Turk) July 13, 2015
That's right & he deserves every bit of disrespect that his behavior has earned. Quit crying. Besides, you know she's right… @JakeSherman

@JakeSherman What part of "Bill was a frickin pervert" don't you understand? BJ's under the desk in the oval office? Do you NOT remember?

@JakeSherman A former president of the Untied States cuckolded his wife (who is also seeking the presidency) with a 20-something.

If we're supposed to seriously consider returning a sexual predator to the White House, we get to *at the very least* joke about it.

@JakeSherman Uh, shooting the messenger? Bill's the one that fucked interns.

.@JakeSherman As a reporter, of all people, you shouldn't be blaming the messenger.

Sorry, journos. But sometimes, the truth hurts.
@JakeSherman Truth hurts, don't it?

If you can’t handle that, you might want to consider a career change.
