As woman after woman emerges accusing Trump of sexual harassment, groping, or assault, many Trump fans point out that Clinton was accused of rape and has also has hung around convicted pervert Jeffrey Epstein.

Bring up Trump’s bragging about attempting to cheating on his wife, and sleeping with married women, and some Republican may respond that Clinton got away with it, in the Oval Office, with an intern — and that Republicans were attacked for making it an issue.

It’s well and good, if you like, to point out the inconsistency of liberals who defended Clinton then and attack Trump now. But sometimes inconsistency means moving from error to correct opinion. The Clinton-defenders-turned-Trump-attackers might be partisan hacks, and they might be insincere in their concern for women, but this time around they are correct. Trump’s treatment of women and his disdain for marriage matter when considering his fitness for office. They also reflect on those who support him politically.

The important thing is, we conservatives were right back then. And we should have the same standards today.
