Monica Lewinsky reacts to the news about Trump choosing Ken Starr for his legal team:

[Mrs. Overall]

Link to tweet

Monica Lewinsky
@MonicaLewinsky

this is definitely an “are you fucking kidding me?” kinda day.

[EveHammond13]

1. Ken Starr is an abusive idiot who was fired from Baylor for ignoring a rape scandal

[Zoonart]

2. Uh huh... so the Rapey misogynist old fuck wants to be

defended by two other misogynist rapey old fucks. I sense a pattern here.

[happybird]

7. +1

[Initech]

33. Rapists of a feather flock together, and such.

[pwb]

3. Republicans like that in a man.

Gym Jordan turned his head to shit too.

[Jamastiene]

40. A lot of Republicans don't even believe rape exists.

That is how deranged their minds really are. They go bonkers over consensual sex between other consenting adults that they don't even know, yet rape is A-ok with them.

[spanone]

45. I'm sure that's why don picked him.

[TheBlackAdder]

4. Trump probably has kompromat on Starr and Dershowitz to ensure they'd fight hard for acquittal.

[CaptYossarian]

5. I'm glad he picked Starr and Douche-awitz.

The gavel should wake up these fossils.

[Johonny]

18. There is no probably in Dershowitz case. It's public what "evidence" someone might have on him

[YOHABLO]

6. Some poor girl sex slave had to service nasty ole Dershowitz

That visual is revolting

[Mila18]

8. So who's next on his legal team?

Rod Blagojevich?

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Maybe OJ will be called in as a character witness. n/t

[Tumbulu]

34. That's a great one! nt

[DENVERPOPS]

38. My question to Monica

Most women would go straight to the cleaners
My question would be “can you tell me, why would you go to all the trouble to go to a bank, rent a safety deposit box and place the dress in it.....

Just wondering.....

[jalan48]

9. Monica just can't stay out of the headlines.

[lunatica]

11. So she's not allowed to tweet?

If that’s a headline you don’t understand social media.

[jalan48]

13. The more she tweets the more we are reminded of Bill.

[lunatica]

15. Like anyone on the planet isn't reminded of Bill's impeachment right now?

Every other impeachment reference out of the media’s and the pundits’ mouthes is about how many times presidents have been impeached. Clinton’s name comes up as often as Trumps nowadays.

[Duppers]

41. 👍

So true.

Besides, why should Monica hide?

[StarfishSaver]

29. If only Monica remained quiet, no one would think or talk about the Clinton impeachment

Shame on her for reminding us!

[USALiberal]

36. I have no issue with her talking about it! Nt

[stevesinpa]

46. are you kidding?

you seriously think no one was talking about the Clinton impeachment until Monica Lewinsky tweeted? you need to pull your head out of whatever hole you have it buried in.
but either way, let's talk about the Clinton impeachment. because it puts on full display the hypocrisy of the republican party.

[StarfishSaver]

47. I assumed the sarcasm thing wasn't necesary

Apparently, it was.

[maxsolomon]

25. She's not in a headline here.

It's just a re-post of a tweet.

You think she WANTS attention again?

[Skittles]

27. yes it is obvious she likes attention

[maxsolomon]

30. I never understand this criticism in general.

And specifically for Lewinsky. I thought she was the most sympathetic character in the entire sordid story of Clinton's Impeachment, which is front and center in my mind nowadays as a perfect illustration of the GOP's complete hypocrisy and situational ethics.

She hasn't made a career out of her notoriety.

She was utterly betrayed by someone she trusted.

She doesn't appear to be a Narcissist like President Solipsist.

EVERYONE likes attention from people they're attracted to when they're in their 20s, if that's what your point is.

But, I'm one of those "Free Melania" types who thinks she's abused, not evil. I'm a soft touch.

[Skittles]

32. where exactly did I critiicize her

all I said is SHE LIKES ATTENTION

and no, not of of us are like Monica

[maxsolomon]

48. "you just want attention", "they just want attention"

is one of the most common criticisms of young women who "act out".

[Skittles]

49. oh PLEASE

I stated a FACT

Monica is NOT a VICTIM

[Jamastiene]

39. To me, Linda Tripp was one of the biggest villains

in all of that. I don't understand a lot of vitriol for Lewinsky. If anything, she was young and didn't know better yet. Plus, she trusted someone who back-stabbed her. I am not saying fooling around with a married man is a good thing, but it seems more of the vitriol should go to the Republicans who made such a big deal out of it, in terms of the Clinton presidency.

[Caliman73]

26. I would say that she is pretty relevant in this situation.

Starr is the asshole who turned her life upside down for purely political reasons. Now the orange asshole is bringing him out from under the rock he should have stayed under.

Did you think that she wouldn't comment on such a ridiculous situation?

[USALiberal]

35. And some people can't stop whining about it! Nt

[Midnight Writer]

10. Trump seen these lawyers on the TV. They real good'uns, too.

[lunatica]

12. Ken Starr is the man who brought Clinton down

into the gutter with his salaciously graphic sex smeared report. That’s his claim to fame and Trump wants him to defend him? I’m with Lewinsky when she says, “are you fucking kidding me?”

[spooky3]

14. he was also forced out as chancellor of Baylor U

due to administrative mishandling of sexual assault and misconduct cases. The buck stops here.

https://www.cnn.com/2016/06/01/politics/ken-starr-baylor-university/index.html

[lunatica]

16. Trump is really scraping the dregs of the dregs at the bottom of the barrel.

I don’t think there’s even a word for those.

[spooky3]

20. Would any non-dreg work for him? This is all he can get. Nt

[Collimator]

23. Don't remember how many millions. . .

That the Starr Report cost the American Taxpayers, but even though it took the official position of moral condemnation, its content was an unacknowledged exercise in self-righteous pornography.

You know that and I know that, but when some folks refuse to look themselves square in the eye, they push that stuff way, way down into their psyches.

[Caliman73]

28. Absolutely!

Starr is disgusting. He embarked on a years long witch hunt from White Water in which he found NOTHING, to Travelgate in which he found NOTHING, to finally basically entrapping Lewinsky into divulging a sex scandal and turning that into a circus to continue to go after Clinton. He has the fucking nerve to show his face and make any kind of comment?

What is he going to contribute? "Members of the Senate, I know all about frivolous and wasteful investigations since I was the originator of one. It took me 7 years, millions of tax payer dollars wasted on two sham investigations for me to finally dig up a sex scandal involving two consenting adults in which I took a likely scared young woman, and an embarrassed President and made it into an impeachable event."

[Pacifist Patriot]

19. I love some of the replies she's getting.

I've only seen supportive ones. I hope that's the overwhelming bulk of it.

[USALiberal]

37. +1000! Nt

[live love laugh]

21. Unforgettably smarmy Ken Starr--I bet Hillary Bill and Monica

can agree on the absurdity here.

[TNNurse]

22. They are Trump's kind of people.

He deserves them.

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. Boom

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. Pretty much my reaction.

The GOP must think their shit smells like roses.

[raccoon]

42. I wish Monica and Gwyneth Paltrow would vanish from the public scene. Nt

[USALiberal]

43. Weird! nt

[GoCubsGo]

44. I'd say it holds true for his entire legal team, not just Starr.

NBC Today had Pam Bondi on this morning. Holy shit! What a gish-galloping moron. How the hell did that imbecile even get a law degree, let alone hold the office she managed to hold.?
