Victor Davis Hanson: The Cornell 7 Case is What You Get When You Play With Feminism

Sami Winc:  Let’s look at the Cornell 7 first. I know that this is a continuing saga, but recently we had a journalist claim basically that it was [Donald] Trump who had caused it. And I want to just read her quote.  

Victor Davis Hanson: New York Times.  

Sami Winc: Yeah, New York Times.  

Victor Davis Hanson: What was her name? Cottle?  

Sami Winc: It was Michelle Cottle. And here’s what she says, “We can go to the president for this one,” meaning the Cornell 7 rape case. “I mean, we are in a moment in this culture where the glorification of being thuggish and swaggering and mistreating women is kind of making you a cool kid.”

Victor Davis Hanson: Tucker Carlson Is Wrong About World War II

Victor Davis Hanson: Well, Michelle, I guess you suffer from amnesia. Do I need to go back to FDR’s liaisons in the White House? 

How about JFK deflowering a virgin in the presidential bed? Or we can go to Bill Clinton, who had every imaginable type of sex act, and “I didn’t have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky,” and then lied about it under oath and then had his whole administration plagued with, Gennifer Flowers or Paula Jones or Monica Lewinsky, and they all had one thing in common, Michelle. 

They were all typical examples of an apex man using his power, and his constructed privilege to take advantage sexually of someone who was subordinate to him. And I don’t remember you ever said anything if you weren’t around then.  

And then we had Joe Biden, and Joe was going to run for president in 2020, and they had a problem because they said, well, we got a problem. 

He’s handsy. He tries to kiss women too long. And some of them are… that famous picture of the judge’s daughter where he kind of grabbed her, and remember on the tarmac in Finland, he tried to kiss that little girl?  

And then there was Tara Reade. She was much more convincing than Stormy Daniels even. 

Her mother called up Larry King and outlined it when it happened, what happened to her daughter. It was pretty clear Joe Biden did it. So then they just had all these women come forward and say, they rounded them all up, and they say, “Can you go and give a little watered-down thing?” 

“Well, Sen. Biden, Vice President Biden was a little bit forward with me.” And then he came and said, “I guess I’m from an old generation where this was accepted, and it’s wrong, and I won’t do it again.” But of course, this whole administration, they had to keep him away from women.  

Whatever you say about Donald Trump’s past, there’s no evidence that while he was in the White House over a six-year period that he ever did anything like Bill Clinton, or JFK, or Joe Biden. 

So what she says is just partisan hackery, typical of The New York Times. And as I said last time, everybody here is confused as I am because there’s two........
