Rand Paul On The War On Women: The Clintons Started It - Huh?

"Republican Sen. Rand Paul lashed out at Democrats over pushing the idea of the GOP's "war on women" while forgiving former President Bill Clinton for his "predatory" affair with Monica Lewinsky.

"The Democrats, one of their big issues is they have concocted and said Republicans are committing a war on women," Paul said on NBC's "Meet The Press" Sunday. "One of the workplace laws and rules that I think are good is that bosses shouldn't prey on young interns in their office.

"And I think really the media seems to have given President Clinton a pass on this," the Kentucky senator continued. "He took advantage of a girl that was 20 years old and an intern in his office. There is no excuse for that, and that is predatory behavior, and it should be something we shouldn't want to associate with people who would take advantage of a young girl in his office."

Clinton's sexual relationship with Lewinsky, then a 22-year-old White House intern, led to his impeachment in 1998 and subsequent trial. Clinton was eventually acquitted of the impeachment charges."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
