Anthony Weiner becomes a sympathetic victim in Joy Reid’s piece on Clarence Thomas; Dana Loesch schools
Any number of liberals and liberal publications — Chris Hayes, Vox, The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Slate, and more — have taken turns this week throwing Bill Clinton under the bus about two decades too late — seems it’s difficult not to look like a hypocrite going after Roy Moore after overlooking rape allegations against a former president.
While readers are angry that pundits are looking back to the Clinton era, a case they thought was closed with Clinton’s impeachment, MSNBC’s Joy Reid isn’t going there at all — she wants to reassess the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.

Oddly, though, Anthony Weiner comes across as the hero of Reid’s revisionist history.
In Joy's telling, Clinton was sufficiently punished for diddling an intern by being publicly humiliated, while Thomas hasn't suffered enough for one woman claiming he made a pubic hair joke. https://t.co/F2PZWDGGJj

Anthony Weiner, the guy who engaged sexually with young girls, is a persecuted hero in the perverse universe of Joy's brain pic.twitter.com/hT51k5CSbC

When Weiner’s political career went up in flames? Why was that again?
Not one word about Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, or Juanita Broaddrick. But Thomas is a villain because one woman said he said something.

Of course there’s not a word about Bill Clinton’s accusers; we’re talking about the monster that is Clarence Thomas. Or are we? Reid certainly has a lot to say about Weiner, but even his downfall was the fault of Andrew Breitbart and not his own.
