Scarborough Sneers: Evangelicals 'On Fainting Couch' Over Bill Clinton's Lewinsky Scandal
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/08/2023 11:05:13 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough is so engrossed in attacking Donald Trump that he is even willing to dismiss Bill Clinton's sexual misconduct, and mock those who were offended by it.

On today's Morning Joe, in condemning evangelicals who continue to support Trump despite a federal judge finding a "substantial truth" in the jury's conclusion of a sexual assault, Scarborough said:

"My brothers and sisters that I grew up with in the evangelical church . . . are now fiercely fighting for and backing a rapist, according to a judge. Who said by the common definition of the term, Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. That's in the court of law. That's not in, in, again, the pages of some left-wing journal.

"And these are the same people who all collapse on their fainting couch because Bill Clinton had a relationship with an intern, back when he was in the White House. And said he was unfit to be President of the United States."

What makes Scarborough's dismissal of the seriousness of Clinton's misconduct so shocking is thatโ€”as the congressman that he so often reminds us that he wasโ€”Scarborough voted to impeach Clinton for, among other things, lying about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

The best descriptor of people like this character: reprobate.

This is a good example of what the Word calls “reprobation”; it is spiritual psychopathy/sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Rom.1:18-32 and II Tim. 3:1-5.

The only way to protect our children and ourselves is to avoid those who manifest this pathology.

We are living through the worst political scandal in US history.

President Biden is committing treason by indicting his opponent for president for acts he took as president. Trump has absolute immunity for things he did or did not do or things he said or did not say. Biden must be impeached for this unprecedented abuse of power.

Try to imagine of Nixon had indicted McGovern.

To: Tell It Right

Yes, but the main thing in the Clinton scandal was not the sexual harassment. It was that Clinton perjured himself under oath trying to hide it. That’s what got him impeached, not the sexual escapades themselves.

If he had just admitted it, there probably wouldn’t have been enough votes to impeach him.

“as long as he kept his pants up in the Oval Office, who cared?”

The little closet on the side of the Oval Office doesn’t count, right?

“Trump has absolute immunity for things he did or did not do or things he said or did not say.”

Bingo. Far too many people seem to be forgetting that nowadays.

Now, if he had been successfully impeached and convicted in the Senate, then he might have lost that immunity, at least for matters he was impeached over. But he was not.

This POS was on 24/7 during the Clinton impeachment attacking Bill on cable news. He also thought Clinton was a rapist after hearing Juanita’s story. Such a weasel.

BS

Clinton was linked to DOZENS of rapes! and even many murders!

Democrats are crooked and use government and press to cover for themselves.

Trump was convicted of a sexual assault, where the trial never proved either the claimant or the defendant were even there, nor even that they’d ever met. Further, there is strong appearance that the claims are simply a recounting of a TV episode. One could see why folks would dismiss the court results.
