Real war on women: Rand Paul bashes Bill Clinton for ‘preying’ on Monica Lewinsky

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took a hard hit at former President Bill Clinton on Sunday, bashing him for ‘preying’ on his then-intern Monica Lewinsky in the ’90s.

Paul spoke with David Gregory on Meet the Press this week, where the two discussed recent remarks about women by former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.). Many on the Left criticized Huckabee, pointing to his remarks as proof that the GOP has a war on women. Paul, however, brushed aside that allegation.

“This whole sort of war on women thing — I’m scratching my head because if there was a war on women, I think they won,” Paul said, noting that the women in his family are very successful.

The Kentucky Senator said that, as a whole, women are doing well and outperforming men. He then blamed Democrats for creating the war on women rhetoric and dumbing down the debate about gender equality.

Additionally, Paul could point to at least one obvious instance of disrespect toward women coming from the other side of the aisle: Clinton.

Slightly later in the interview, Gregory asked Paul about the potential 2016 presidential contenders, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Gregory asked if she should be judged on the foibles of her husband while he was President, something Paul’s wife, Kelley, seemed to suggest during an interview with Vogue, calling Clinton’s actions “predatory.”

Paul stood by his wife’s remarks, blasting the former President.

“I mean — the Democrats, one of their big issues is they’ve concocted and said Republicans are committing a war on women,” Paul said. “One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn’t prey on young interns in their office.”

The Senator said the media had given Clinton a pass for his behavior. Paul also indirectly slammed Clinton supporters and the general public, with whom the former President is still well-liked, saying that people shouldn’t want to associate with Clinton because of his “predatory” behavior.

“Then they [Democrats] have the gall to stand up and say Republicans are having a war on women?” Paul questioned. “So yes, I think it’s a factor. It’s not Hillary’s fault, but it is a factor in judging Bill Clinton in history.”
