The View Tears Into Hillary Clinton’s Defense of Bill: She ‘Changed the Subject’ Just Like Republicans

The View tore into Hillary Clinton on Monday for her latest defense against the sexual misconduct allegations against her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Hillary was asked in an interview with CBS on Sunday whether she thinks Bill should’ve resigned in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. She replied “absolutely not” and stressed that Lewinsky was an adult when asked whether Bill’s relation with an intern constituted an abuse of power.

Hillary dodged the question, and asked why there’s no investigation into the allegations against current President Donald Trump.

The View audience applauded, but co-host Joy Behar wasn’t having it. “What she just did is exactly what Republicans do, they changed the subject. And that’s why we never get anywhere in the discourse.”

“You know you have a bad argument when your immediate response is ‘well, they were worse,'” Abby Huntsman said.

“Whataboutism, they call it,” Behar astutely noted.

“This highlights to me I think why some people struggled to vote for her, because you can’t have it both ways in her position,” Huntsman said. “You can’t put yourself on a pedestal and be a leader for the feminist movement, and at the same time refuse to acknowledge the reality that you’ve lived with for all these years and stand by your husband.”

“I don’t think she can have it both ways and she continues to try and do this,” Huntsman added.

Behar called Hillary “a victim of [Bill’s] stupidity,” and Meghan McCain listed off Hillary’s harsh comments about her husband’s accusers.

Sunny Hostin offered a lone defense of Hillary, agreeing with her that Lewinsky was an adult at the time of her relationship with the president.

At the end of the segment, the conversation turned to the #MeToo movement, and Behar said of Bill: “He’s guilty.”
