(CNN)As a wave of stories unfold about sexual harassment and assault by men in power, a senior Democratic leader says her party should reflect on how it handled such charges when they were leveled against former President Bill Clinton.
"Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him," says Kathleen Sebelius, the former secretary of Health and Human Services and Kansas governor. "And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims."
Sebelius extended her criticism to Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton White House for what she called a strategy of dismissing and besmirching the women who stepped forwarda pattern she said is being repeated today by alleged perpetrators of sexual assaultsaying that the criticism of the former first lady and Secretary of State was "absolutely" fair. Sebelius noted that the Clinton Administration's response was being imitated, adding that "you can watch that same pattern repeat, It needs to end. It needs to be over."

She wasn’t in Washington then.
Don’t fall for this crap from the Demos/Media.
In 2000, didn’t they say “Aw shucks, we weren’t tough enough and doing our jobs holding Bill Clinton’s feet to the fire but, doggone it, we’ll get back to doing our jobs now.”
With George W Bush in office
Now they’re saying “Aw shucks, we should’ve reported harassment way back but, doggone it, we’ll get right back on it now.”
With Roy Moore and any other Republican out there
I think folks are missing the Dem strategy here.
Why are they going after BJ Clinton now? I suspect that they have decided to sacrifice him in order to set up impeachment of Trump. They need it to be BJ Clinton that is now declared a total reprobate since he was “impeached”. This allows them to then demand that Trump be impeached once they bring out, (parade), several new sexual assault victims.
Why are all of these high profile Dems now saying Clinton should have resigned 20 years later? To provide creds for the demand for impeachment if Trump refuses to resign or denies the “new” allegations?
I don’t trust the Dems. They don’t “eat” their own unless it will get them something more important.
They won’t get Trump on sexual abuse, molestation or rape. They are playing it as a fake moral equivalency game. They will try to equate Clinton’s rape charges with Trump’s locker room talk.
