Once again, the Democrats are dealing with Bill Clinton’s history of sexual misconduct.
Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky has said the affair that led to impeachment proceedings against him was not sexual assault, but “constituted a gross abuse of power.” Lewinsky also said she was in awe of the sheer courage of women who have been confronting entrenched beliefs and institutions.
Meanwhile, Democrats are looking to embrace the #MeToo moment and rally women to push back on President Trump in the upcoming midterm Congressional elections - even as new allegations have recently revived against Clinton. But many Democratic candidates also want to appeal to precisely the kind of voters Mr. Clinton has consistently won over — prompting a debate within the party about whether to let any candidates use Clinton as a surrogate on the campaign trail.
