In filling in for talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday, conservative commentator Mark Steyn drew a comparison between Bill Cosby, who has lost much of his exposure after allegations that he may have raped numerous have come to the forefront, and former President Bill Clinton, who reportedly will be campaigning for his wife, Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton.
Steyn pointed out that one has become persona non grata while the other has been universally embraced as “the most beloved guy in America.”
“I mean that as a seriously question incidentally,” Steyn said. “Why is Bill Cosby finished? He was the most beloved guy. We keep hearing Bill Clinton is the most beloved guy in America. ‘If Bill Clinton was on the ticket, he’d sweep all 50 states. It would be a landslide. Americans love Bill Clinton.’ They loved Bill Cosby – nice grandfatherly Bill Cosby. But somehow, for some reason – you don’t see ‘The Bill Cosby Show’ on TV anymore. You don’t see it on the rerun channels. He is not appearing anywhere.”
Obviously it gets down to proof…but putting that aside, the allegations against both are like night and day.
Cosby admitted under oath that he drugged a woman and had sex with her.
And Clinton had something going on with Gennifer Flowers, lied under oath about having sex with Paula Jones and “never had sex” with Monica. These allegations are a lot closer than night and day
I think what you’re seeing is a trained lawyer and very smart man being better at covering his tracks. They both appear to be predators, each in his own way
Having consensual sex is different from rape.
Their transgressions are night and day, but it is not the moral fabric we expect in a President.
