Does this poor woman actually think she's being taken seriously by the very party that has known about Bill's crimes and protected him all these years?

Juanita Broaddrick: It’s nice to finally be taken seriously by Democrats
We’ll see. It’s nice to read the op-eds about a “reckoning” with Clinton and tweets like this one…
"As gross and cynical and hypocrtical as the right's "what about Bill Clinton" stuff is, it's also true that Democrats and the center left are overdue for a real reckoning with the allegations against him".
…but the mystery will forever linger how Democrats would have reacted to him vis-a-vis the Weinstein revelations if he were on television again every day as First Gentleman of the United States, not an ex-president whose main job now is showing up to charity events with the Bushes. Would there have been any Weinstein revelations at all during a Hillary Clinton presidency, knowing how they might blow back at her and Bill?
Even the some of the recent liberal columns about Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, and Kathleen Willey are heavy on attacking Republicans and light on Clinton’s actual misdeeds. Philip Klein noticed that about Michelle Goldberg’s “I believe Juanita” op-ed
The ratio of this column is 8:1. That is, eight paragraphs of throat clearing, excuse-making, and attacking conservatives to one paragraph supporting the headline. https://twitter.com/allahpundit/status/930421839393943553 …
It's actually pretty amazing to write a column revealing you believe a former president is actually a rapist and have that be the focus. https://twitter.com/philipaklein/
The Cause comes first, before all else. That’s how liberals got into the business of defending Bill Clinton in the first place and it remains true today. What’s different is Bill’s own disposability to them. He’s aging, his political capital has disappeared due to Hillary’s upset loss, and his centrist wing of the party is in disfavor among leftist intellectuals like Goldberg. Sacrificing him by *now* supporting his accusers is a small price to pay to get the culture to take victims of sexual abuse more seriously and to gain leverage over powerful right-wingers accused of sexual misconduct like Trump and Roy Moore. If and when the day comes that the Kennedys exit politics, maybe Ted Kennedy will get his long-overdue reassessment too.

What exactly is gross, cynical and hypocritical about the question "what about Bill"? That question has been asked for years while the left circled the wagons around him, and along with Hillary, vilified and set out to destroy anyone doing the asking.
