From the cartoonist about ‘Clinton’s Scandalous Email’
After 30 years of trying to destroy the Clintons, Republicans think they’ll finally get the goods out of some emails? I doubt it. They couldn’t do it with Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Foster, Clinton Foundation, Benghazi, Monica Lewinsky, Hillary’s stock, Filegate, Lost Rose Law Firm Billing Records, Renting the Lincoln Bedroom, Pardongate, Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broaddrick, and anything else Kenneth Starr came up with. Did I forget anything?
No. The email controversy won’t send anyone to prison, but it could keep Hillary out of the White House (Donald Trump says she should just quit her campaign now, but he’d probably encourage all his competition to just up and quit. Who needs an election?).
I don’t think there’s going to be a smoking gun in the emails, but that won’t matter. A majority of voters think Hillary is sketchy, a liar and untrustworthy. That may not matter either. Nobody thought Bill was an honest person, and they elected him twice.
There are layers to people. I am among those who think Hillary is sketchy, a liar and untrustworthy. Her biggest problem is that she’s not as good about it as her husband. I also think she has a better vision for this country than any of the other candidates.
Again, to a lot of people the truth doesn’t matter. Benghazi has been cleared of anything illegal for a long time now and yet Republicans still want to investigate. How many times have they tried to kill Obamacare (and how many jobs bills has the GOP Congress enacted?).
When it comes to Republicans and truth, think about this: There is all the evidence in the world proving Obama was born in the United States. There is zero, nado, none, nothing, that supports he was born outside the United States. Nothing. Yet, wacko birthers ignore evidence and go with the lie. Being skeptical is one thing. Believing without cause is another. Of course just being a knuckle-dragging moron is an entirely different matter. Now one of them with a bad comb-over is running for president.
I liked this cartoon idea so much that I stayed up super late to draw it. I had just finished my Trump/Immigration cartoon when this idea hit. I don’t even know how I got the idea. It just showed up. It was already 2:00 a.m., and I couldn’t let it rest. I couldn’t sleep on it. I had to go ahead and draw. I did wait to post it online. I wanted to let the Trump cartoon gain a little internet traction before I unleashed this one on the public. Basically I didn’t want to trump the Trump cartoon.
