What was the deal with monica lewensky? She and Bill Clinton hooked up right? I don't get the big deal
The big deal was that Republicans finally had some legitimate ammo on a Democrat. That's it, that's the whole thing. They milked it for all it was worth.
If he had admitted to the blowjob, they would have attacked him for that. Since he didn't, they pretended it was all about the lying.
It was really just about having a convenient excuse.
They were just mad because they never had blowjobs.
I mean, from all accounts and evidence, they have been, just not consensual blowjobs from people of-age.
Well, my friend, that right there tells me you did not grow up before the 90s 😂
It was a HUGE fucking deal. Literally all the media talked about. Leader of the free world getting blowjobs from an intern. And remember, "the media" did not include social media (early consumer Internet was barely a thing) it just meant the major networks ABC, CBS, NBC and the major newspapers NYT and a few others.
So getting a blowjob from an intern is worse than being a pedophile?
Of course not dumbass. Nor is that what I said. OP asked about it being a big deal, and at the time it was a HUGE deal. Front page news for months even years, when "front page" meant something that it doesn't anymore.
Back in the day Presidents would get in trouble for lying or even taking advantage of a person.
Now, just a few decades later we have a President who constantly lies and takes advantage of everyone.
It led to a whole impeachment.
