Eric Thompson: If Trump’s a sexual predator then so is Bill Clinton

I recently saw a political ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that painted Donald Trump as a sexual predator and The Bee has printed in its liberal rag that since Jeff Denham has not rejected Trump, then we must reject Jeff. I am eagerly awaiting The Bee’s article endorsing a third-party candidate for president. Because if Hillary couldn’t reject Bill Clinton for his many proven predatory advances on women when he was president, then Hillary must not have the morals or convictions needed to be president either. Let’s be adults not hypocrites.

Eric Thompson, Oakdale

Editor’s note: The Bee urged elected officials to repudiate Donald Trump on Aug. 4, before he was charged with sexual improprieties.
