Colbert grills Bill Clinton: You are the most famous example of workplace sexual misconduct

CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert grilled former President Clinton on Tuesday about his recent comments about Monica Lewinsky and the #MeToo movement.

Colbert asked Clinton why he appeared surprised by questions about the Lewinsky affair during a recent interview, claiming that the incident was the most famous example of workplace sexual misconduct.

"You seemed surprised that that question would come up," he asked on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." "That somehow, this had all been adjudicated in the past and that there was no reason to talk about it again, when it seems that the spirit of the #MeToo movement is that it doesn't matter how long ago it happened.

"It seemed tone-deaf to me," Colbert continued, "because you seemed offended to be asked about this thing when, in all due respect sir, your behavior was the most famous example of a powerful man sexually misbehaving in the workplace of my lifetime.

Straight up.

Plus Colbert wins SuperMegaBonus points for bringing up this stuff in a relatively non-threatening environment. Mr. Clinton cannot go anywhere near a self-respecting news program without getting a rougher time about sexual harassment from the interviewer.

Younger female producers or on-air hosts will not give Bubba a pass on Lewinsky-ing.

"Colbert is attempting to not appear a hypocrite. It is difficult for him. But he had his lines written very carefully and he acted them well. Colbert is ALWAYS about Colbert. He is intensely interested in appearing superior.
Note that Clinton is never ever asked about all his abject rapes. Note that “brave” low ratings Colbert carefully asked about the most willing of Clinton’s famous victims. Monica WANTED TO GET A PRESIDENTIAL NOTCH ON HER BELT. She was a victim in the way it was handled, she might have first made the news by her “untimely suicide,” but she saved the semen-stained dress. But note that no one on the propaganda left dares ask Clinton to apologize to Juanita or Kathleen or any other rape victims. They ask him to apologize to the workplace inappropriate relationship that was mutual.
As if Clinton was “merely” a boss that fell prey to a hot little secretary flashing her thong panties at him once.

He has been a serial rapist, violent sexual predator, and at least post Presidency a pedophile. Colbert got to play “brave” and at the same time shield the image of Clinton from that thing all Clintons hate: the truth."

Exactly, thanks for the excellent summation.

Stephen Colbert's taking heat off Hillary by mildly bringing up the obvious "me too-ism"...

If Colbert really had a pair he would ask about the 'fly-over women Clinton raped and exposed himself to... not just 'liberal elite' Monica... who was abused... but who's NOT a totally innocent rape victim.
