“For at least a decade, Clinton has been prone to extramarital affairs, often more than one at a time, and to numerous one-night stands. According to the troopers, the clandestine sexual encounters occurred even after the presidential election and continued through Clinton’s final days in Little Rock.”

So writes David Brock in The American Spectator’s most famous article, “His Cheatin’ Heart,” which was published thirty-two years ago. 

As depicted by Brock, Clinton is a sex maniac. This is to the extent that he engages in extramarital sex acts in the parking lot of his daughter Chelsea’s elementary school. 

Trooper Larry Patterson told Brock of this particular dalliance at Booker Arts and Science Magnet Elementary School: “I parked across the entrance [to the school] and stood outside the car looking around, about 120 feet from where they were parked in a lot that was pretty well lit. I could see Clinton get into the front seat and then the lady’s head go into his lap. They stayed in the car for 30 or 40 minutes,” Patterson said.

Troopers’ duties further extended to “wiping make-up off his shirt collar,” “standing ‘Hillary watch’ while Clinton cavorted,” “arranging sex sessions in hotel rooms,” and “sneaking women into the governor’s mansion while Hillary and Chelsea slept.”

In Brock’s narrative, Clinton comes across as sex-obsessed as a person can be. 

“When he was in a down mood, all you had to do was start talking about sex and he would come alive,” explained trooper Roger Perry. 

Of course, “His Cheatin’ Heart” also set off the other category of sex allegations related to Bill Clinton: that not all of his (many) engagements were consensual. In the wake of Brock’s article, which mentions her by first name, Paul Jones filed a sexual harassment lawsuit alleging that Clinton had propositioned her and exposed himself to her. Kathleen Willey, a former White House volunteer, similarly alleged in 1998 that Clinton had kissed and groped her against her will. 

This is the same lustful, unfaithful man who flew on notorious pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet no less than twenty-seven times. A private jet that played host to the women and girls who were trafficked by the predator.

It was on this plane that Bill Clinton was photographed with a young blonde woman sitting practically in his lap. 

During his taped deposition before the House Oversight Committee this February, Clinton explained away the presence of the many women who hummed around Epstein’s plane, saying, “I thought they were flight attendants.”

Clinton repeated this excuse to proclaim his ignorance of what Epstein was up to. When asked, for instance, if he remembered any of the women who were listed on the same flight logs as him, he said, “No. May have been a flight attendant, I don’t know.” 

But Clinton had spent so much personal time with Epstein, and in the orbit of the women he trafficked, that at least one Republican congressman was incredulous at the flight-attendant excuse. “Do flight attendants typically wear tank tops and jeans?” he asked, referencing the outfit of the blonde woman. 

One would surmise that Clinton must have recognized, at the least, that Epstein had surrounded himself with prostitutes. In 2002, the year Clinton was photographed in a swimming pool with Ghislaine Maxwell and an unidentified young woman at a hotel in Brunei while on a jet-setting trip with Epstein, Epstein was 49 years old. It was fairly clear that this was a man who, at the absolute bare minimum, was using his wealth to make a bevy of young women follow him everywhere.

On another trip, Clinton received a back massage from Chauntae Davies, who has said she was sexually abused by Epstein for years. During his deposition, Clinton was asked if any of his suspicions were aroused when he was offered a free massage from a woman in Epstein’s entourage. “I didn’t think it was anything unusual,” responded Clinton. “I can’t tell you how many airplanes I’ve been on where rich people asked me to go and they had someone offering massage.”

In describing to the London Times when Jeffrey Epstein raped her, Davies said, “He kept a grip on my wrists and locked them down against the bed. I don’t know what he must have seen on my face in that moment. But he’s an intelligent guy and my face, I’m sure, reflected a girl being sexually assaulted, silently, on a private island in the middle of the night, terrified, and just wanting it to be over.”

Epstein raped her several times before she was able to escape, Davies recounted. “He has destroyed my life in every way. Relationships, family, health, job.”

During a line of questioning in his deposition on whether Epstein’s sexual abuse of Davies made him feel differently about the massage he had received from her, Clinton said, “I wish Chauntae had told me [about the abuse]. I liked her.”

If Clinton had been a man with an innocent past, perhaps one could be inclined to believe that the former president thought a rotating group of nice young women just happened to be friends with Jeffrey and liked spending time with him. But, as it is, Clinton is a man whom troopers witnessed “in compromising situations with dozens of women.” He is a man accused of using plentiful Arkansas taxpayer resources to arrange sexual meetups and hide his dalliances from his wife and young daughter. And he is, of course, accused of committing sexual assault. Doesn’t it seem likely that Clinton would be, at the least, very much aware of the sick games Epstein was playing?

Yet there has been little public concern with the images that have emerged from the Epstein files of Clinton with these women, or with the documents that demonstrate Clinton’s knowledge of the child sexual abuse allegations against Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, even while he continued a close public association with her. 

The deposition happened, and that was that. Press coverage was fairly minimal. The New York Times, to its credit, published an article documenting the enormous role Maxwell played in launching the Clinton Global Initiative, as revealed in the Epstein files. It also raised the possibility that Epstein was the major initial funder of the initiative.

There was much less press coverage than when, during the #MeToo movement, there was a rethinking of Clinton’s sexual relationship with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky. In 2017, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said that Clinton should have resigned because of the affair. “Things have changed today, and I think under those circumstances there should be a very different reaction,” she said. It seemed for a moment that the Democrats would hold Clinton accountable for his many sexual misdeeds, but the moment passed. The party quickly returned to treating Clinton as a favored elder statesman. 

At least one person close to Clinton has alleged that he continued the pattern of extramarital affairs documented in “His Cheatin’ Heart” after leaving the White House. Doug Band, who served as counselor to the president and reportedly had a father-son–like relationship with Clinton, told Vanity Fair that he and Clinton ended their relationship permanently after, in a dramatic 2011 fight with Clinton, he said, “If Clinton wanted to have girlfriends, he should divorce Hillary and move on with his life.”

Clinton responded to this statement, Vanity Fair recounted, by “listen[ing] in cold silence, biting his lower lip.” Apparently, Band’s relationship with Clinton was never the same afterwards. 

In introducing “His Cheatin’ Heart” in the January 1994 edition of The American Spectator, executive editor Wlady Pleszczynski, who remains in that role to this day, speculated why the troopers decided to speak out publicly about what they knew about Clinton’s sexual misdeeds and illegal usage of taxpayer resources. 

“These men have seen Clinton on the make, on the prowl, and they don’t exactly respect him,” wrote Pleszczynski. “If it’s disgust they feel, it’s less at his running around than at his gall in thinking that he and his crew can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.”

Note that: “his gall in thinking that he and his crew can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.”

Bill Clinton still believes he will live to his dying day with the American public being none the wiser to his loathsome, disgusting sexual misdeeds and moral bankruptcy. 

Unfortunately, he’s probably right.
