It’s hard to watch the constant gavel-to-gavel coverage of former President Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan without feeling like you’ve been time-warped to 2016. We relive the “Access Hollywood” tape and talk about it. Trump would never have been elected if porn star Stormy Daniels hadn’t received a six-figure check to keep quiet.
The richest vein of hypocrisy on this issue of infidelity, mangling, and electability flows through the Clinton family. Hillary Clinton appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and accused Trump of killing the slut story. It was typically shameless. “The defendant, the former president, understood the electoral importance of the people, so he knew what he was doing when he went to great lengths to crush, bury, kill, and pay people,” she said. I think he knew exactly what he was doing.”
The cast of “Morning Joe” treated Clinton as a therapist for Trump’s anxiety, telling no one about the story-busting, burying and killing Hillary and Bill Clinton did when they first sought the White House in 1992. No one interjected to ask questions. .
Stormy Daniels’ husband says he’ll probably leave the country if Trump is acquitted
When the Jennifer Flowers scandal broke in January of that year, Hillary Clinton told Time magazine’s Margaret Carlson, “My marriage is strong, full of love and friendship, but it’s too deep to talk about comfortably.” It’s too much,” he said.
Former first lady Hillary Clinton certainly has experience dealing with infidelity issues. However, she makes the strange choice of criticizing her others’ actions.

But after Flowers claimed to have had a 12-year affair with Bill Clinton, Hillary and Bill appeared on “60 Minutes” and Hillary said that the woman being questioned about her relationship with Bill was a friend. He claimed that. “We reached out to them. I met two of them and reassured them that they were our friends. I was horrified by what was happening to them. I felt that.”
When I think back, I can smell Hillary cooking. While she pressured potential accusers to remain silent, she advertised on national television that she was just chatting with her friends.
We can only imagine how Melania Trump handled the Stormy Daniels story, but paying a non-disclosure agreement doesn’t exactly maintain innocence. That’s why Democratic prosecutors in New York are broadcasting this every hour on the hour on CNN and MSNBC. The left believes religious conservatives are troubled by this and should be inspired to vote for someone else, preferably Joe Biden, a “devout Catholic.”

But Hillary has always waged war against anyone who would try to damage her and Bill’s political future, and the media has always trumpeted her wars. At the end of my internship year in 1998, Time magazine was booming.
Reporters Nancy Gibbs and Karen Tamarti wrote, “As she pursued the private salvage of her marriage and the public salvage of her presidency, she seemed to see the larger story and shaped how it was told.” “He was the only person who looked like me,” he said.
The “bigger story” was a “huge right-wing conspiracy.” During this campaign, Democratic prosecutors brought 91 felonies against Trump, but the networks largely refuse to even describe themselves as Democrats, let alone a massive left-wing conspiracy.
Time editor Walter Isaacson even wrote that he wanted to name her “Person of the Year” in 1998 for her, er, “dignity.” That’s how they explain that Hillary has been lying for months about Bill not having sexual relations with that woman. “Her strength and her almost surreal ability to assert her own dignity were astonishing to some and puzzling to others.”
When the Jennifer Flowers scandal broke in January of that year, Hillary Clinton told Time magazine’s Margaret Carlson, “My marriage is solid, full of love and friendship, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.” It’s too deep,” he said.

This kind of copying is why most Americans don’t trust the “mainstream media.” They don’t report stories, rather than “shape” them to the benefit of their political allies.
