A couple that has been in dirty politics for decades – Bill and Hillary Clinton. They got married in 1975 and had a daughter named Chelsea together. They were already involved in politics even before Bill Clinton was elected as the President of the United States and Hillary ran for the presidency in the 2016 election.
But regrettably, politics and scandals have dominated their life for a long time. Rumors of an affair and sexual harassment with Gennifer Flowers were already swirling around Bill Clinton, a former attorney general and governor of Arkansas. She stated that while Clinton was governor of Arkansas, they had a 12-year relationship. When he was a candidate for the presidency in 1992, these rumors caused him a lot of difficulties. Clinton has always refuted the claims.
Another scandal followed during his presidency that resulted in a Congressional Hearing. Monica Lewinsky claimed that she had been having an affair with the president while working as an intern at the White House. She said that the encounters with Clinton started in 1995. This was a huge scandal that involved other White House employees, including Linda Tripp and Ken Starr. There were tape-recorded conversations and a lot more. Clinton ultimately admitted to the infidelity, saying that his definition of sexual relations was different from other people’s. It centered around the act of oral sex between the two.
Now, a former Clinton employee is revealing more information about their marriage. Mark Penn was a former pollster for Bill Clinton during his presidency in the 1990s, and he worked as a chief strategist during Hillary’s presidential campaign in 2016. In his new book, ‘MicroTrends Squared: The New Small Forces Driving Today’s Big Disruptions,’ he delves into private information about Clinton’s marriage.
Penn claims that the Clintons have “at least a one-way open marriage,” and he criticizes Hillary’s campaign during the election. He references a situation on a hit political drama, ‘House of Cards,’ where the fictional First Couple, Frank and Claire Underwood, have numerous sexual partners. In the show, it further shows that there is one partner who stays in the White House.
In the end, it’s up to us to decide what we think of the Clintons’ marriage and their scandals. It’s a story that will continue to be talked about for years to come.
