Edit: A few comments mention the power imbalance between Lewinsky as an intern and the president. This meme shouldn't be seen as me approving of Clinton's behavior but point out that an adult man having "sexual relations" with a child should have some bearing against a sitting president.

If Clinton is in the Epstein files, show the world.

She was an intern and the power imbalance was massive. I am not defending the fact the GOP is full of pedo sex offenders, but don't act like Clinton didn't do something grimey here.

Not defending what Clinton did but she was old enough to sign a military contract. I don't see anyone calling for military recruiters to be pulled out of schools and dismissed from the service for the power plays and down right lies they employ in highschools and college campuses.

One, we absolutely should not allow recruiters to be in schools. Two they didn't mention age at all. They mentioned her being an intern and the power imbalance. It's extremely strange that you jumped right to her being eligible for military contract.

Well I was alive back then and remember that she was in her early 20's when it happened. I was just using the military age and recruiters as an example of something that people around that age encounter than also has a power dynamic.

I guess I still don't see your point. Yes there are multiple places we take advantage of naive people. And?

It was the first one that came to mind that also fit the age range, that's all. Hopefully someone else can explain it better than I can.
