The party over country movement adds a new face
The kids today will never fully understand just how unrelentingly ridiculous the Whitewater era was.
It was basically Benghazi!
in which Republicans were accusing Hillary Clinton of not of botching national security concerns, but improperly something-something land deals in Arkansas.
That was the riotous scandal supposedly at the heart of the rest of it, but it immediately began to encompass "and is running drugs for the South American cartels" and "secretly murdered a White House staffer because reasons" and/or "eff it, is probably in league with the lizard people, while we're at it."
This was not fringe. This was Republicanism, root and branch.
Basically every last Republican was Glenn Beck sniffing whiteboard markers back then, and that means Ken Starr's team, including Brett Kavanaugh, was tasked with combing through the details of every shrieking nutcase's fever dreams in an effort to provide the Republican Congress with even the smallest gossipy tidbits to plaster into fundraising letters.
