When Bill and Hillary Clinton travelled to the Caribbean nation of Haiti as newlyweds in 1975, they were enchanted. Bill had recently lost a race for Congress back home in Arkansas, but by the time they returned to the US, he had set his mind to running for Arkansas state attorney general, a decision which would put him on the path to the White House. “We have had a deep connection to and with Haiti ever since,” Hillary later said.
Over the next four decades, the Clintons became increasingly involved in Haiti, working to reshape the country in profound ways. As US president in the 1990s, Bill lobbied for sweeping changes to Haiti’s agricultural sector that significantly increased the country’s dependence on American food crops. In 1994, three years after a military coup in Haiti, Bill ordered a US invasion that overthrew the junta and restored the country’s democratically elected president to power. Fifteen years later, Bill was appointed United Nations’ special envoy to Haiti, tasked with helping the country to develop its private sector and invigorate its economy.

Why are we still hearing from Hillary Clinton? She hasn't held any political position of note in half a decade, and in 2016, she was pummeled by Donald Trump. Why do I say "pummeled"?

Have people forgotten the Bill Clinton days or the 1992 election? Apparently, they have because of this faux outrage over what Sen. Lindsey Graham said about Donald Trump's remarks about Christine Blasey Ford, the first woman to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, Trump's Supreme Court nominee.
