I'd bet every president has been accused of rape. That doesn't mean much on its own because if it does a lot can be achieved by lying about it. You'd need a conviction or something for that to be meaningful in my opinion.
Well, it's sort of the topic of this thread to reconsider Bill Clinton based on current events. Nothing should objectively change after Wienstein if we're not comparing.
Secondly, what I'm getting at is that he was impeached for lying to the public about having sexual relations with that woman, right? Trump lies to the public all the time and he has most certainly had sexual relations with many women. What makes one impeachable and the other electable?
Lol, some people think of a way to tie trump into everything. If we all got to excuse our behavior by comparing it to Trump, the lot of us would be up for Nobel prizes. I'd say it has limited relevance, other than as an easy way to change topic and excuse the behavior of those we selectively endorse. Perhap there is nothing wrong with Weinstein either, if you are going to compare him with trump.

And all the women who said Clinton harassed or exposed himself to them were lying?
No, I did not say that.
