In 1998, when the "zippergate" incident broke out, Clinton instantly fell from the invincible United States to the altar and became the target of hundreds of millions of American people. At this moment, it should be his wife Hillary Clinton who should be furious, draw a line with Clinton, and distance himself from him.
But what everyone didn't expect was that in the face of such a scandal with her husband, Hillary, as the first lady and lawyer, not only did not choose to divorce and get out, but stood behind Clinton without hesitation;
In the face of **'s doubts and criticisms, Hillary defended her husband without humility or arrogance and said: "Lewinsky and Clinton have no emotional entanglement at all, which is completely narcissistic Lewinsky's wishful thinking; I firmly believe that Clinton is still a good husband and father. ”
This unswerving statement of loyalty made Hillary shine a positive halo of a model of husband and wife love for a while, allowing everyone to see her virtuous image and the traditional virtue of "a virtuous wife and a good husband", and it also kept Clinton's "job" and saved Clinton's political career in that political **.
I have to say that Hillary is an absolutely smart person, and now in real life, many women start to be hysterical when they find out that their husbands have a situation, or they attribute all the mistakes to themselves, just like a female anchor in Japan, when her husband cheats, she says that it is because she ignores the other party, so she will find out such a thing. But later, this incident was like a thorn in her heart, and she finally died tragically of breast cancer.
But Hillary Clinton is different, the reason why she chose to side with Clinton is just a rational choice made to protect her own interests:
First of all, Hillary and Clinton are both political partners, and divorce is tantamount to dissolving the political alliance that they jointly control and losing their huge influence; Second, if Clinton's derailment scandal is not covered up, it will certainly become a stumbling block in his re-election campaign.
In order to defend the political capital that the couple has worked hard for many years, Hillary wisely chose to swallow her anger; Moreover, Clinton's position in Hillary's marriage strategy is only a tool and means to achieve her dreams, not a goal in life. For the sake of a greater political future, she can compromise and seek perfection.
But as a woman, so tolerant and kind, how should you weigh the cost and example? In fact, Hillary didn't care in her heart. In the face of power and interests, all emotions and morals can be left behind. Sure enough, after the Clinton "zippergate" incident, this ostensibly loving politician duo was surprising in both their life style and relationship status in private, and the husband and wife appeared in Epstein's file list.
The Clintons are like an old man and an old lady, and their only common language is quarrels. Clinton was stingy and cunning, and Hillary Clinton was arrogant and rude. ”
This is the portrayal of the Clinton couple's real marriage revealed in the White House insider book.
Clinton is out and Hillary is at home, which has become the tacit norm of life for the two. Not only that, but Hillary's blatant revenge against Clinton went even further — slamming her husband on the head with a giant book in the bedroom;
publicly humiliating Clinton in social settings; Having an ambiguous relationship with four or five men. In Hillary's view, these wild and wanton acts are the retribution that Clinton deserves.
For such a rotten marriage that lacks a bottom line and self-discipline, Hillary doesn't care:
I have no intention of putting in any more effort for this marriage, and my energy will be used more for the ** campaign. Political ambition remains at the heart of her pursuit. Even Clinton's blatant pleasure in the "party" on Epstein's plane will not shake Hillary's determination in the slightest.
Of course, time will eventually smooth everything out. Now the politician couple who have been in Vanity Fair for many years have also learned how to tolerate each other and stay together in another peaceful way for the rest of their lives after the power is gone.
After all, they have worked together for decades, and they know what they do. It's just that for others, this kind of political marriage based on calculation, exploitation, and revenge, the list of good authors is really a bit incomprehensible.
