Hillary Clinton’s criticism of President Donald Trump’s White House UFC event drew swift backlash from conservatives, who accused the former first lady of selective outrage by invoking scandals from her and her husband’s time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Conservative Response
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., was one of many critics who sounded off by retweeting Clinton’s post — making light of President Bill Clinton’s salacious behavior with intern Monica Lewinsky in that same People’s House.
Retired Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, who said he carried Bill Clinton’s nuclear football, sharply criticized Hillary Clinton over her UFC comments.
Patterson said, ‘I was the Air Force [lieutenant colonel] who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that ‘people’s house’ you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years,’ while Bill was getting improper favors from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One.
The official Republican Party account simply suggested Clinton ‘sit this one out.’ A Government Accountability Office investigation estimated $15,000 in damage to the White House, according to news reports at the time.
