Lol. Ok. Whether Hillary had an affair in the 90s (that Epstein would know about) is definitely a top news story for progressive political discussion in all of this. We've all been eagerly waiting for any new rumors about a 30 year old conservative conspiracy.
Yup. Progressive.
Edit: Some bonus background about this site. Definitely by progressives for progressives.
Commenting a MBFC link and defending Hillary Clinton. Definitely by progressives for progressives.
Go read the link. It's a trash site made by Republicans and your dumb/sus ass fell for it.
MBFC is bad because it estimates establishment sites as left leaning and is unreliable on what counts as a fact, not because it accidentally calls progressives conservative or makes up evidence whole cloth about poorly disguised conservative ops.
You're literally linking a Zionist propaganda website in order to sourcebro. I'm not going to click your link for the exact same reason you pretend to not read this article which you seem to be unable to factually address because you know everything in my post is true already.
Got any more hot goss from the right bud? Maybe some deep pulls about Pizzagate or something about Elizabeth Warren violently domming marines.
If you're not just in on the op yourself, you're a clown with zero media literacy who doesn't even want to question whether he's being played. The whole story was sus as hell and you never even wondered who this brand new source was. Website said "progressive" so it must be progressive.
And there it is the barrage of low tier insults because you have no argument.
Linking a Zionist website to sourcebro... Please link a credible site next time.
These are the same people that won't link Hillary, Lebanon, and the pnac.
Here ya go clown, straight from your "progressive" site so you don't have to read a site you conveniently refuse to visit when it will embarrass you.

They did a sloppy find and replace when copying over their conservative template.
Wow great now I know the site is just as unreliable as literally every other propaganda website like NYT and Reuters.
How about taking the same effort to debunk the content of the article if you believe there is anything untrue in there.
There nothing to debunk because this isn't a news story. Epstein, who has no particular reason to have inside information about an affair, said an affair happened, something that isn't itself illegal or particularly relevant to anyone who hasn't been eagerly looking for rumors to stir up conservative conspiracy theorists and distract from all the other Epstein revelations.
My first post said all of this. It wasn't questioning whether the story was true. I, an actual progressive, simply don't care because it's not newsworthy to progressive political discussion even if it is. Why do you think this is an important piece of news?
It's news because it's in the files which just came out. Apparently Epstein was close enough to Hillary or Vince at the time to know they had a relationship. Vince's 'suicide' could also have relations to Epstein too. But not much is known.
This is simply a piece of a puzzle of which the rest of the puzzle is missing. By itself it doesn't answer anything, but it certainly is news and politics.
Do you also think Trumps presence in the Epstein files has no relevance to politics? Or can you think one up? Also who's this?
See, shit like this just makes me side eye your motivations. The idea that liberals, let alone progressives, would have some instinct to protect Bill Clinton is something that only makes sense in conservative spaces. If he fucked children, I hope it's uncovered and he dies in prison. Conservatives are too immersed in their nonsense to differentiate between the conservative propaganda and things liberals actually care about and it spawns these dumb gotchas that anyone who actually had liberal friends would know were dumb. Stuff like pushing a rumor to feed the Vince Foster conspiracy and calling it "progressive".
Did Hilary Clinton fuck Bill's friend? I dunno. Do I care? Not in the slightest. And it's sure as hell not because I like Hilary Clinton.
