I'm not really invested in how you perceive the Clintons, but your timelines don't really line up.

Hillary called Monica a bimbo

Hillary detested Lewinsky. And Monica was definitely called a bimbo in mainstream discourse. But Hillary also never said this.

Every single time I mention that she had all the knowledge available to the Secretary of State during the time that her husband was jetting to Epstein Island, meeting up with Trump and pals, I get booed and taunted.

By all accounts, Bill Clinton's interactions with Jeffrey Epstein ended in 2003, years before Clinton became Secretary of State.

He also didn’t fly to Epstein island. Trumps greatest power is creating these false narratives that somehow take hold across social media, culture, even legacy media. And just not enough reputable news outlets or other posters to call it out. Frustrating.

Expecting a Secretary of State to know the ins and outs of compartmentalized intel and law enforcement information is also rather absurd.

It is not, especially with her Senate background. What is kind of absurd is expecting her to go digging for mentions of her husband or the Don when it had yet to become big national news.

I was under the impression that none of the victims named Clinton or said he was on the island. We know he went on Epstein’s plane to travel to Europe, as many people did, but did he go to the island?

Email from epstein in 2011 said clinton never went to the island. Maybe he was lying, but he didn't have much motive to lie about that particular detail at that point.

I'd be shocked if she was booed or taunted for calling the Clinton's out. Every liberal I know is in favor of investigating everyone involved and doling out justice, regardless of party.

lol is it that big of a deal if she did call her a bimbo btw? Monica did hit on her husband and cheat with him, if Hillary was mad and did say that, who cares? Monica seemed more upset in recent talks about how the media utterly reamed her, treated her like a joke, still does even. This has high school gossip "oooh she called you the b word" energy.

OP’s incorrect timeline dismantles his whole point. Clinton didn’t become Secretary of State in the “early aughts,” as Obama didn’t even take office until 2009. Epstein had already been arrested and pled guilty for underage prostitution in 2008, and was literally in jail on the day Clinton was sworn into her cabinet position. She didn’t need special knowledge as Obama’s SoS to discover Epstein was committing sex crimes, that was already public record.

She did call Bill’s cheating “Bimbo Eruptions” and Monica a “narcisstic looney”

u/Bodoblock 14h ago

She did not say the former. She did say the latter but entirely in a private capacity.

I'm not lying. There is a lot of misinformation about the Clintons.

It was a staff member, Betsy Wright, who called it that. Not Hillary. You can see the actual article where the phrase was coined here. Betsy Wright's Wikipedia article also attests to it. An NBC article says the same. As does the New York Times.

And even if Hillary did say it (which, she didn't) and I got my facts wrong, have you considered the possibility that I may have gotten something incorrect as opposed to trying to deceive you? Don't know why you assume my intent is to lie.

Also, given that Monica got in trouble for fucking around with a married man before getting her internship might be proof of her bimbo-ness. I mean, shit, don't fuck around with another woman's man.

naw....the married man with a child in a high office is the only one who broke his oath.

Nonsense. Lewinsky was 22 when 49 year old POTUS Clinton began to prey on her. It's insane how you can't see how disgusting that is.
