While the revelations of the many scandals\u00a0of\u00a0Bill Clinton\u2019s administration are stunning\u00a0to this day, the left continues to\u00a0ignore his many, many crimes such as rape, sexual harassment, and lying under oath. They have swept his transgressions and crimes under the rug for many years, only to refer to him as a \u201crandy boy.\u201d\u00a0There\u2019s nothing \u201crandy\u201d about him. He is a predator and a pervert.<\/p>\n<p>The charges against Bill O\u2019Reilly are serious, but where has he been heard regarding\u00a0these accusations? He has been\u00a0judged, tried, and convicted by the Murdoch\u00a0team. We will never know if these accusations are true or false. The least the powers that be at Fox could have done was\u00a0to give him a forum on which\u00a0to respond and say good-bye to his many fans. He helped build Fox News from the ground up. In the meantime, the MSM and the liberals continue to\u00a0overlook Bill and Hillary\u2019s ongoing lies and cover-ups.<\/p>\n<p>Jones criticized\u00a0<em>The View<\/em> as being \u201chypocritical\u2019 for featuring a friendly <a class=\" x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/entertainment\/tv\/ct-bill-oreilly-accuser-view-perquita-burgess-20170420-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview<\/a> with O\u2019Reilly accuser and former Fox clerical worker Perquita Burgess last week while some hosts on the same show dismissed the accusations from Jones, Willey, and Broaddrick.<\/p>\n<p>In November, <em>The View<\/em> co-host Joy Behar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/big-government\/2016\/11\/01\/exclusive-kathleen-willey-rejects-joy-behars-totally-insincere-apology-tramps-remark\/\">apologized<\/a> on air after seemingly referring to Clinton\u2019s sexual assault accusers as \u201ctramps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stated Jones of the O\u2019Reilly coverage:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m disgusted once again about how hypocritical the liberal media can be.\u00a0 Those insane women on <em>The View<\/em> have the nerve to actually show their feelings on this issue and not see the same resemblance only worse about their man, Bill Clinton!

Bill Clinton was getting his tiny wiener sucked under the Oval Office desk, where was the outrage to that? As long as it\u2019s a liberal, unethical, baby killer who does all this then it\u2019s perfectly okay, but if it\u2019s a conservative against their evil issues then they crucify them until they are gone.
