    Just as the #MeToo moment has caused people to reevaluate Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, is there a scenario where Linda Tripp’s reputation gets reevaluated?

        Linda Tripp's problem is that she is perceived as having betrayed a friendship. That's different from the whole #MeToo aspect of the Lewinsky story.

        Yep. Hard to shake that. But listen to the new episode of the ‘Slow Burn’ podcast. Tripp puts a more favorable spin on it. Not saying that she’s correct. But I think it’s a more nuanced and complicated argument than we have been presented.

        By Reevaluate! You mean there was a time when older, powerful men could prey on young women an it was acceptable?

        Yes. As I recall, Bill Clinton had many defenders and enablers.

        No. She exploited @MonicaLewinsky.

        I definitely re-evaluated. I went from thinking Tripp betrayed a friend to understanding she wasn’t actually Lewinski’s friend at all.

        Ken Starr who had to ‘Find the Truth’. Then he buried like 20 rapes as a university president.

        Are you in love with @BillClinton ? Wow. How long ago was this? Meanwhile, the current sitting POTUS is a criminal. A criminal. You'd think removing this person and his gang would be a priority for you. Nope. We get to rehash Clinton having sex with an intern. What year was that?

        You’ve been listening to “Slow Burn” haven’t you? Just had this same thought today while listening to Tripp on my commute. It does complicate the “villain” image.

        Has Bill really been reevaluated? I feel like there was some pro forma second thoughts, but no real contrition by the key players nor any accountability for the Clintons in their party or the media. So the answer to your question is no.

        Nope! She caused Monica more harm than Bill! Monica was old enough to know what she was doing and she wanted to do it! Bill should have known better for multiple reasons-Linda hated the Clintons and she betrayed Monica bc of the hatred!
