Philippe Reines, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, pushed back against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) after she said in an interview that former President Bill Clinton should have resigned during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The New York Times interviewed Gillibrand on Thursday and asked her whether Clinton should have resigned because of his affair with the former White House intern in the late 1990’s, prompting her to respond, “Yes, I think that is the appropriate response.”
“Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction,” Gillibrand continued.
Reines didn’t agree.
“Ken Starr spent $70 million on a consensual blowjob. Senate voted to keep POTUS WJC. But not enough for you @SenGillibrand? Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons’ endorsements, money, and seat. Hypocrite. Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck,” Reines fired back on Twitter.
