Sen. Elizabeth Warren dodged several times on Wednesday when asked whether President Bill Clinton should have resigned from office following his admitted affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” the Massachusetts progressive sat down for nearly 40 minutes to answer questions about her 2020 presidential campaign and issues she does and does not support.
The segment heated up when co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Warren if Clinton should have resigned for having an affair with a very young intern.
“I don’t know. I can’t go back and litigate the 1990s. That one – that one is beyond me,” Warren said, refusing to answer the simple question.
Brzezinski rephrased her question by asking Warren if she believed the 1990s paved the way for the #MeToo movement today.
“Of course, it did,” Warren began before again refusing to answer whether Clinton should have resigned from office.
“And – but I don’t have the time machine to go back and change the ’90s. All I can do is change this world going forward,” Warren added.
Warren doesn’t want to go back and change what happened decades ago when it comes to Clinton.
But when it involves Donald Trump, there’s no expiration date on criticizing the president for his past.
During a speech in May 2016 at the Center for Popular Democracy, Warren attacked Trump for comments he made way back in 2006.
Warren attacked Trump for arguing in 2006 that market downturns gave him a good opportunity to buy real estate at lower costs.
Trump’s comments were strictly from a business stand-point, but Warren disgustingly accused Trump of trying to get people “thrown out of their house” and kicked “out of their jobs.”
Around that same time, Warren called Trump an “urgent threat” to the country and claimed that he only became successful in the 1990s and early 2000s because he “stole” from people and inherited a sum of money from his father.
While campaigning for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, Warren told voters that Trump would tank the U.S. economy because some of his real estate and business ventures failed.
These are just a few examples of Warren taking no issue at all with smearing Trump with regards to things that occurred many years ago.
Yet, when it comes to Clinton, she sings a different tune.
Clinton admitted to having an affair in the White House with Lewinsky and was impeached in the House of Representatives for obstruction of justice and perjury.
But Warren doesn’t want to go back in time and say anything negative about Clinton. But Trump is apparently fair game.
