Bill was accused of sexual assault. Hilary supposedly played a role in trying to silence the women who were coming out and accusing Bill. Now Trump is getting accused of sexual assault as well. And yet both sides are using the sexual assault thing as ammo against the other.
The whole thing is just all kinds of messed up.
First of all what Bill did in the extra marital sex department does not reflect on Hillary in any way.
Secondly I don't think Bill was ever accused of sexual assault. He was guilty of exploiting a relationship of unequal power. Not quite the same thing.
He was accused of raping a woman in a hotel room at one point, but I'm not sure of the time line, and I'm pretty sure she has since retracted her allegation. I'm fuzzy on the details. But like you said, his actions don't reflect on Hilary.
And frankly, if someone accused MY husband of cheating I'd probably call her a liar at first as well. That's just part of the emotional defense mechanism when trust in most intimate relationship of your life is threatened. Denial is a normal, psychological response. And, she publicly apologized after learning the allegation against Bill was true. I don't think it's fair to judge how Hilary dealt with these accusations. I don't think it's even an accurate comparison.
