Clinton never sexually harassed anyone. He had sex with women over the years, women who were very willing, in fact who pursued him. He doesn't need to hit non women, they come after him.

If you read the accounts of the Lewinsky scandal you'll plainly see his style is never to hit on women or force them to do anything they aren't very willing to do. In fact he plays a little hard to get. And with Lewinsky anyway he never went all the way. No intercourse, just fondling and maybe some oral. It was actually pretty lite stuff.

The big lie of the rightwing was to try and totally exaggerate this. Mellon Scaife/the Newsmax far rightwing miser and oil billionaire paid for an army of attorneys and Anne Coulter types to wildly exaggerate and smear Clinton on these charges, bribing any woman who would come forward and lie or exaggerate negatively to do so. Here is what Clinton did NOT do:

RAPE. SEXUAL HARASSMENT. BE A PREDATOR. HIT ON MINORS. But all these things the rightwing still claims he did. They are liars.

What he DID do was mainly to willingly enjoy occasional sex with consenting grown women. That's legal. But the rightwing had to try and turn it into something illegal, so they made up the rest of the crap.
