THE LEWINSKY EFFECT

Romney: Scandal Won't Hurt Hillary

Lewinsky is Bill's problem, not hers.

While the Monica Lewinsky scandal is getting renewed scrutiny with the prospect of a Hillary Clinton run for president, Mitt Romney is telling Republicans to back off. Romney fully critized Bill Clinton in a Meet the Press interview, saying “He embarrassed the nation” and “breached his responsibility, I think, as an adult and as a leader in his relationship.” However, Romney stressed that Hillay doesn't have to answer for that. “She has her own record, her own vision on where she would take the country.” Romney contrasts with Rand Paul, who called Bill a “sexual preadotr” and said his history with Lewinsky should be taken account if Hillary runs for president.
