This Republican Just Dropped The Monica Lewinsky Card

When Trump announced his candidacy for president two months ago, he took the political scene by storm. Sanders opponent in the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton, is polling even better against the top Republicans running for president, as the former Secretary of State would defeat Trump by 12 points.

“I’m fluent in Clinton-speak”, Graham said. “When Bill says, ‘I didn’t have sex with that woman, ‘ he did!” On Monday night, Graham called on Clinton’s infidelity to suggest Hillary Clinton could not be trusted in the White House.

Graham also attacked Clinton for not taking a clear stance on the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and noted that his experience working with both Clintons should be a consideration in choosing a GOP nominee.

The South Carolina senator drew modest laughs at the forum, where 14 Republican candidates (minus Donald Trump) showed up to answer two rounds of specific questions live on a local television station. He famously asked during a 1998 House Judiciary hearing if the scandal was “Watergate or Peyton Place”. “If we can’t beat them, it doesn’t matter”, he said. “What are the consequences of this case?”

According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, 57% of voters do not view the former Secretary of State as “honest and trustworthy”, compared to 37% who believe that she is honest and trustworthy.
