Tipper Gore was reportedly furious over Clinton’s Lewinsky scandal
New York Post ^ | June 5, 2018 | By Nikki Schwab

Tipper Gore was more enraged about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky than even Hillary Clinton, according to a new book.

“Tipper Gore was furious at Bill Clinton, angrier than Hillary Clinton was,” author Kate Andersen Brower told The Post. Her new book, “First in Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents and the Pursuit of Power,” comes out Tuesday.

With Lewinsky being the same age as the Gores’ eldest daughter, Karenna, Tipper “felt personally offended by the scandal,” said ex-Gore aide Jamal Simmons. The White House intern was 22 when the affair with Bill Clinton began.

“In Gore’s case there’s no way he would have gotten to such a dark place if Tipper hasn’t been so mad,” another aide told the author.

That “dark place” was Al Gore’s decision not to campaign with Bill Clinton during Gore’s 2000 run for the presidency, which – like Hillary Clinton – he lost because of the Electoral College math.

Today, Al Gore still bristles when asked about his relationship with Hillary Clinton – who many characterized as Bill Clinton’s co-president, diminishing Gore’s role as veep.

“I expected him to say Hillary Clinton and I had a great working relationship,” Andersen Brower told The Post. Instead, “he thought the interview might have to be cut short,” she wrote in the book.

That was one month of anxiety here on FR that made 2016 seem like a fun ride.

Tipper Gore was at the forefront against the vulgar and hateful lyrics of rap and yet when Clinton became president, she shut right up and wasn’t heard from since on the subject.

Bedwarmer? Do you always have to bring your dirty mind into everything? There’s plenty enough to attack Tipper Gore over without resorting to your usual methods.

I’m not impressed. Hell, I think Hillary Clinton was probably more outraged than anyone.

“she was pissed b/c she had all these teen girls and did not want Slick near any of them.”

Her husband, Al, is just as bad a hound as Bill. He’s just been caught less.

Anyone who has married Al Gore has a screw loose, though I understand she and Al were smoking a lot of “herb” back then.... drug influenced bad judgment.

Only if he apologizes. If not, a 1-day ban is definitely in order.

With democrats. Monica was just one of the perks that Clinton deserved for running for president and winning.

It’s the rewards system for liberals. Whatever it takes to get into office and work to advance the liberal agenda.

It’s okay for their side.

To take on the corporate multinational industrial Negro music complex was extremely gutsy or unbelievably naive.

It was a winning issue with most conservative white parents, as well as a large portion of the black community as well. Now Rap has been completely mainstreamed without in the least bit having had to reform its vulgarity. Few blacks care, and conservative whites have been cowed into submission.

“Gore was initially hesitant to be Bill Clinton’s running mate...Clinton stated that he chose Gore”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore

Senator Al Gore should be thankful for Bill Clinton for making him Vice President.

Thanks to Bill Clinton I had to explain to my kindergarten daughter what a bj was and everything else. Once one child starts talking it all comes out. The Clintons are disgusting and should leave public eye. One or the other will always be a liability.

I think she actually divorced him when she found out about that
It did not come out in the media until after they were divorced

"...she had all these teen girls and did not want Slick near any of them."

Or was she pissed because the she suspected the fox had already visited the hen house? He didn't miss many wearing skirts.
