Who made Mika the judge?
Mika aggressively asseterted that Bill's daliances were the cause of #fakepresident's alleged victory. I'm sorry but Mika, herself, did her fair share to help #fakepresident.
We are being wedged.

We need to stop beating ourselves up, and we need to stop letting oursves be wedged by idiots like Mika Brzinsky.

(46,780 posts)to determine their moral and ethical caliber, then her statements might make sense. But, she's ignoring the fact that Clinton was punished, and punished severely.

(46,780 posts)but, Mika does seem to take it to excess, assuming she is representing the Democratic side of that Morning Joe Show. She sounds like someone who has more Republican friends, than Democratic.

(11,746 posts)The only thing "conservatives" really have in common is their irrational loathing of "liberal." Obviously Hillary Clinton has taken on whatever it is that seems to spark this need for irrational loathing and, you're absolutely correct, that Mika is strange. However she is not the only erstwhile liberal to have this irrational loathing of Hillary Clinton.
My guess here is that if they, the allegedly liberal irrational loathers, didn't have Hillary Clinton they would find someone else. That tells me that there's no way to mollify the irrational loathers, so why bother?
2016 was the confluence of many things, that we have been over and over and over. The likelihood that the 30% who are #fakepresident cultists could pull this off again is, in my opinion, not much. But we can't take anything for granted. Even irrational loathers like Mika. We must denounce them.

Because mika is such a moral authority for women? A real pillar of feminism posing on the desk doing a sexually provocative high kick in Vanity Fair...
while participating in wrecking two marriages? REALLY? Why does anyone listen to this?
DUers... please, please, please,... just focus on what is important this week; the TAX BILL.

(10,014 posts)As a liberal and a real feminist who worked for the establishment of sexual and domestic assault hot lines, support groups and agencies since the 70's, I get to judge.

Mika seemed to assert, as did Gillibrand, that his Lewensky thing was assault. Mika also planted her feet strongly in "I believe his accusers" camp.
Mika also said "both Clinton's need to stop talking about assault, they have no standing, because Bill never apologized."
Yep, Mika went there...
There is no facts nor history that can reach such a mind-set.
Mika I get, Gillibrand just astounds me.

(11,746 posts)I have big problems with Bill Clinton's behavior but projecting that onto Hillary Clinton and saying that she has no standing is unacceptable. Hillary Clinton has more standing in her left small toe than Mika has anywhere, and she is way out of line shooting her mouth off that way.
My other objection to this whole issue is that we are being wedged with it, which is utterly ridiculous given the fact that Bill Clinton has been out of office for 16 years. I can understand the needs and desires of "conservatives" here. I cannot understand liberals obliging "conservatives" with their obvious deflection.
