The Democratic National Convention was slammed Tuesday for having former President Bill Clinton speak in the post-MeToo era and just hours after photos surfaced of him receiving a massage from a victim of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Multiple witnesses have come forward and alleged that they saw Clinton at Epstein’s “pedophile island,” which Clinton denies.
In his speech, Clinton attempted to lecture President Donald Trump about his conduct in the Oval Office, despite Clinton having his own sordid history there.
Numerous political commentators and journalists expressed disgust with the Democratic Party for the decision to have Clinton speak at the event.
CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski tweeted: “How is Bill Clinton still getting prime time speaking spots post Me Too era?”

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted: “The irony of Bill Clinton talking about the sanctity of the Oval Office should not be lost on anyone!”
“Bill Clinton is speaking at Joe Biden’s Democrat Convention tonight. Are we all just supposed to forget that an alleged victim of Jeffery Epstein said she saw Clinton at Epstein’s ‘pedophile island?'” Trump later added. “Will a single mainstream media reporter ask Biden’s campaign about it?”

Fox News co-host Jedediah Bila tweeted: “The fact that Bill Clinton is still invited to speak post-#MeToo movement is a joke. Democrats who approve of this, never ever lecture anyone on female empowerment ever again. Ever.”

Conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza tweeted: “Last night we had the champion of socialist bread lines, Bernie. Tonight, a sex predator and pedophile, Bill Clinton. Coming up, a descendant of one of the largest slaveowners in Jamaica. Can we really call this the party of personal dignity and social justice?”

Political commentator Stephen L. Miller tweeted: “Loving the sudden media revulsions against Bill Clinton speaking at the DNC like they didn’t just try to put him back into the White House 3 1/2 years ago. If this were President Hillary’s re-election convention, think for second you’d be seeing tweets from NY Times reporters or CNN reporters about Bill Clinton speaking? Lol no.”
