Sen. Rand Paul: Bill Clinton Is a ‘Repetitive’ ‘Sexual Predator’

On Wednesday, Newsmax host Steve Malzberg praised Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for saying what few on either side of the political aisle have said about how former President Bill Clinton’s past indiscretions should nullify Democratic accusations that the GOP is mounting a “war on women.” Paul went a step further on Malzberg’s show, calling Clinton a “repetitive” “sexual predator.”

Malzberg called the “irony” of Democrats praising Clinton’s legacy while at the same time accusing Republicans of condoning rape “twisted” and “sick.” He praised Paul for highlighting that hypocrisy in stark terms.

Paul noted that it would be highly controversial if a political figure accepted a donation from “an unsavory character.” He asked how it would be perceived if that “unsavory character” was a candidate’s husband or friend raising funds for Democratic politicians across the nation.

“Obviously, having sex with an intern in the office is inappropriate by any standard,” Paul said. “And where are the women who believe in women’s right, the women who allege some kind of war is going on by the other party, where are they to stand up and say, ‘You know what? Maybe Bill Clinton isn’t the best representative of our party since he really depicts what’s really gross and wrong with workplace harassment?’”

behavior. Perhaps we should look at how the Democrats and Republicans hold their politicians accountable for such offenses. Also, Rand might want to look up the definition of sexual predator.

It's not solid family values unless it's a Republican political wife standing by her man even when he's in diapers.

Gods, at least they could leave the kids with grandma.

Anyhow, Hillary stood by her man, but got nothing but scorn for it from the GOP side, because with them it's all about hatred of Dems. Just the way being anti-abortion is all about fear, mistrust, and hatred of women.

So for them, Clinton having consentual sex with Lewinsky is the same as rape.

That's what's throwing them off.

He will be easily defeated by the democrat candidate. The guy endorses racial discrimination of blacks by business and the life begins at conception laws that would outlaw many forms of contraception.

Republicans are like little boys, completely hung up on sex...Everything revolves around sex to them...When two women or two men live together it is all about the sex and never about the Love...They are truly sick people.

Rand Paul is a creeping creep. Fortunately he is not suitable for the nomination as he is insufficiently religious for the right-wing.

with a roll of $100 bills at the Mustang Ranch, don't dis someone who can.

Clinton is a horndog. There is no evidence he was ever a predator. The whole thing with Payola Jones was likely a practical joke gone very wrong.

The moment credible evidence that Clinton ever had sex with someone without their consent, or harassed them against their will, emerges, I'll unambiguously condemn him.

While the allegations are limited to a) ones which are clearly true, of consensual infidelities and b) ones of rape, without much evidence behind them, I won't much care about them.
