Claire McCaskill To Rand Paul: Don't You Dare Play The Lewinsky Card

[Capt. Obvious]

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is incensed that Rand Paul dredged up a scandal from the 1990s.

McCaskill ripped the Kentucky senator on Tuesday for saying that Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky undermines Democratic claims of the GOP's "war on women" and that, fair or unfair, the scandal could be a factor in Hillary Clinton's anticipated presidential campaign.

"I think I can speak for most women to say that I found what he said infuriating. I think most women understand they should not be held accountable for the behavior of their husbands," McCaskill told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. "You know, frankly it was a long time ago. our country did very well under the leadership of Bill Clinton."

....

"It was a political posturing and frankly what Rand Paul doesn't get is that women want birth control. What Rand Paul doesn't get is that women don't want to be marginalized in the workplace, that we are not yet at the point we need to be in terms of our country and around the world."

McCaskill learned that lesson in 2008.
