Booty Call Rudy: When Giuliani Attacks The Clintons, Remember His Scandals

In the moments following his pitiful performance against Hillary Clinton at their first presidential debate, Donald Trump praised himself for “holding back” — because he had refrained from bringing up Bill Clinton’s extramarital “indiscretions,” supposedly out of respect for Chelsea Clinton, toward whom he feels “a lot of respect.” The casino mogul quickly suggested, however, that he might still go there.
“Maybe I’ll tell you at the next debate,” he said coyly.
That is “restraint,” Trump style. There would seem to be little upside in launching a vicious personal attack on Hillary, a wronged wife, especially considering Trump’s own unappetizing, heavily documented record of marital infidelity and alleged spousal abuse or worse. But he finds it difficult to “hold back” such sputtering tirades against his opponents, no matter how badly he might disgrace himself.
To nobody’s surprise a Trump surrogate popped up almost instantly, like a malevolent sock puppet, to assail Hillary Clinton over her husband’s misbehavior. In the debate spin room, Rudolph Giuliani said he knew that Trump had “restrained himself from saying what I know he would have liked to…And that is she enabled and supported a president who is a disgrace to the White House. He was one of the two presidents impeached. He was impeached because he took advantage of an intern, an intern that (Hillary) attacked for six months — and she claims to be a feminist.”
