GOP Mocks Bill Clinton For Lecturing Trump on Oval Office Conduct: Irony ‘Should Not Be Lost on Anyone’
Former President Bill Clinton, whose presidency was engulfed by an extramarital affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, lectured President Trump for bringing “chaos” into the Oval Office during his Tuesday evening address at the Democratic National Convention, drawing a swift reaction from members of the GOP, who could not help but note the irony.
Clinton kicked off his address by criticizing Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, assessing that the Wuhan virus “hit us much harder than it had to” before slamming the president’s Oval Office conduct.
“At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center. Instead, it’s a storm center,” Clinton said. “There’s only chaos.”
“Just one thing never changes: his determination to deny responsibility and shift the blame. The buck never stops there. Now, you have to decide whether to renew his contract or hire someone else,” he continued.
“If you want a president who defies the job, is spending hours a day watching TV and zapping people on social media, he’s your man. Denying, distracting, and demeaning works great if you’re trying to entertain or inflame,” the former president added. “But in a real crisis, it collapses like a house of cards.”
Many Republicans could not help but note the irony of Clinton criticizing Trump over proper Oval Office conduct, given his past:
It’s 2020 and Democrats are still honoring Bill Clinton.
He’s the last person who should be giving lectures on what should or should not be happening in the Oval Office. #DemConvention

“The irony of Bill Clinton talking about the sanctity of the Oval Office should not be lost on anyone!” Donald Trump Jr. remarked:

“With a straight face, Bill Clinton just tried to tell us ‘how’ the Oval Office should be used,” Trump campaign national press secretary Hogan Gidley said. “The absolute LAST person in the known universe I’d listen to about ‘how’ the Oval Office should be used…is Bill Clinton”:

“The second night of the Convention was the parade of hypocrites. Sally Yates is concerned about politisizing [sic] DOJ? Bill Clinton wants to cleanse the Oval Office?” Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said, wondering how Democrats will “top that” on Wednesday:
The second night of the Convention was the parade of hypocrites.
Sally Yates is concerned about politisizing DOJ?
Bill Clinton wants to cleanse the Oval Office?
( His nose is really getting much longer? )
How do they top that tonight.

The #DNCConvention is an absolute parody. Cuomo on COVID. Bill Clinton on chaos in the Oval Office. Elizabeth Warren on Native American issues. Are we being punked?

I refuse to take lectures about the "sanctity of the Oval Office" from Bill Clinton of all people.

After Andrew Cuomo spoke about his success dealing with the Coronavirus, having Bill Clinton talk about "what should happen in the Oval Office" only seems fitting. https://t.co/eaqZSawUSl

Perhaps Bill Clinton should show a smidge of self-awareness and refrain from advising on decorum regarding Oval Office activities… https://t.co/0yLZcwGZNH

Clinton has since said that he engaged in the affair to help “manage my anxieties for years.”
“We all bring our baggage to life, and sometimes we do things we shouldn’t do,” Clinton said as part of the four-part Hulu series Hillary.
“It was awful what I did,” he added of the affair, which he denied under oath, leading to an impeachment trial. The Senate acquitted him in February 1999.
His wife, Hillary Clinton, has continued to stand by her husband throughout the years and denied that the scandal was an abuse of power.
Bill Clinton’s convention speech came just weeks after court documents alleged his appearance on the late Jeffrey Epstein’s “pedophile island.” Clinton has denied ever visiting the island, where Epstein is believed to have trafficked underage girls. However, the denial has done little to halt speculation on the tenets of his relationship with the sex offender.
Epstein was said to have owned a bizarre photo of Clinton wearing a blue dress and red heels, displayed inside his home, as revealed last year:

On Tuesday, photos surfaced of the ex-president receiving a massage from one of Epstein’s accusers, Chauntae Davies:

The photos were taken in 2002, as a group — including Clinton and Epstein — traveled aboard the Lolita Express for what they claim was a humanitarian trip to Africa.
Photos: Bill Clinton Gets Massage from Jeffrey Epstein Accuser
Newly-published photos show former President Bill Clinton getting a neck massage from alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim Chauntae Davies, raising fresh questions about the leading Democrat’s relationship with the now-deceased pedophile.
The photos were snapped in September 2002 while Clinton, Epstein, and others were in transit to Africa for a humanitarian trip in Epstein’s private plane — Lolita Express.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Davies recounted how Clinton asked her: “Would you mind giving it a crack?”
“While we were in the terminal, the ex-President was complaining of stiffness from falling asleep in his chair,” Davies, who was 22 years old at the time, added.
“Ghislaine chimed in to be funny and said that I could give him a massage,” the alleged Epstein victim continued. “Everyone had a little chuckle but Ghislaine in her prim British accent insisted and said I was good.”
“He turned his back to me and I reached up and I started to rub out the kink in our former President’s neck and shoulder,” she added.
Davies then claimed she asked Clinton if he could switch positions, requesting in an awkward fashion: “I’ve got a bad angle, would you mind getting on your knees?”
“For a moment the room fell silent. I couldn’t believe I’d said that. The words just shot out before I realized what I was saying or who I said it to,” Davies wrote in her memoir, reports the Daily Mail.
“Then, although his face had turned the color of fire, he laughed. The whole room was laughing too. And, being the good sport he was, he sat down so I could get a better angle,” she said.
“Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him,” she added.
The revelations come after Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime alleged madam — was arrested at her New Hampshire compound in early July for allegedly enticing minors to engage in illegal sexual activities. She remains jailed in MDC Brooklyn without bail.
As Breitbart News reported:
Thousands of newly unsealed court documents involving Jeffrey Epstein indicate that the late-sex predator joked, according to the testimony of one of his alleged victims, that former President Bill Clinton owed him “favors.” Virginia Roberts Guiffre, one of Epstein’s most high-profile victims, told lawyers in 2011 that Clinton was a guest at Epstein’s private estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands shortly after leaving the White House.
[…]
The records bring back into the spotlight Clinton’s longtime association with Epstein. The late-sex predator was a prominent donor to both of the former president’s successful White House bids. Their relationship appeared to blossom after Clinton left the office, with the former president taking at least 26 different flights on Epstein’s private plane— dubbed the “Lolita Express”—between 2001 and 2003. On at least five of those excursions, the flight logs denote that Clinton was not accompanied by any Secret Service personnel.
After the documents became public, Clinton denied that he ever visited Epstein’s Caribbean estate. Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena said: “The story keeps changing, the facts don’t. President Clinton has never been to the island.”
The unearthed photos come hours ahead of Clinton’s scheduled address before the 2020 Democrat National Convention.
Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.
How do we explain
Republicans who support Biden?
By Robert Arvay
I personally
know some Republicans who now support Biden for president. Mind you, these are people
who vigorously opposed Obama's ruinous depredations of the American economy for
eight solid years. They ranted against his treacherous Iran deal. They decried his open
borders policy. They voted for McCain/Palin and then, four years later, for Romney/Ryan. Finally,
they rooted for one or the other of the Republican contenders in the 2016
primaries — any of them, that is, except Donald Trump. All the while, they excoriated the
Clintons for their corruption and duplicity.
Then
something mysterious happened. When Trump was nominated, these
supposedly staunchly conservative Republicans seem to have voted, in 2016, for
Hillary Clinton, the woman whom they would have fiercely opposed had the
Republican nominee been Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, or anybody but Trump.
Nothing Trump
did, as president, softened their disdain for the man, even though he revived
the American economy, canceled the Iran giveaway, and decreased illegal
immigration to the extent that any president could, despite being opposed every
step of the way, including by Republicans, even his own White House
staff. Trump did everything the RINOs had said they wanted and the
opposite of what Hillary would have done.
Even today,
they castigate Trump, not for what he is doing, but for how the liberal media
twist their reporting to make it seem that he is a racist, a Hitler, or the
devil himself. In their view, Trump has done nothing right and
everything wrong.
Had
Hillary Clinton won the election, we would have no idea, none, of the depth and
extent of official corruption at the DoJ, the FBI, the CIA, and other agencies
— because Hillary Clinton was fully involved in the corruption. So was
Obama, and so was the new political god of the left, Joe Biden. One
shudders to think of how much worse it would be today had Clinton been
elected.
If
Kamala Harris ever becomes president, she will be no less corrupt, and
certainly no less radical. Biden/Harris will seal the records of
dark state crimes, and the misdeeds will continue even worse than
before.
It is as if
the Royal Astronomical Society suddenly decided to promote the Flat Earth
Theory. Photographs of the Earth from orbit, from the moon, and from
even greater distances than that, would be ignored. Gravitation
theory would be replaced by the fantasy of upward thrust of the round disc of
the flat earth. The rising and setting of the sun at different hours
at different locations would in no way dissuade them from their
ideas. Tides, precession, and a plethora of evidence for our global
planet would be discredited.
That is how
illogical it is for supposed opponents of the radical left, spineless RINOs, to
support the Biden/Harris ticket.
Yet there it
is. There they are. It's happening. Their
loyalties are to themselves, and as far as they are concerned, you and your
nation be damned.
