Tweet 1988: A serial liar, bomber, drug dealer, and criminal claims, without any corroborating evidence, that he sold pot to Vice Presidential candidate Dan Quayle. Despite these allegations (which were almost certainly false), the Bush-Quayle ticket wins. 1992: Governor William Jefferson Clinton contends that, while he put a joint to his lips and allow smoke [...]

I’ll just add here that it’s the height of chutzpah that Hillary (by proxy) is leading the attack against Rudy Giuliani on marital grounds. Unlike the other Demo candidates [...]
