The press has weighed in on whether it's "fair" to scrutinize Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton through the prism of her husband's sexual history, and mostly has no problem with doing just that.
After Donald Trump raised the issue in December, several news outlets and political commentators have agreed with him that, yes, the extramarital affair and sexual harassment allegations in former President Bill Clinton's past are fair game this election.
Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," contributor Willie Geist acknowledged that Clinton's past had "kind of gone away" and people have been "unwilling" to talk about it in public. He said, though, that it has resurfaced.
"Hillary Clinton is being asked about it in town hall meetings. She's been asked about it in the press. She'll be asked about her role way back in the '92 [Bill Clinton] campaign. This is back on the table because of Donald Trump," he said.
Eugene Robinson, a liberal columnist for the Washington Post, agreed.
