Hillary Clinton and Lena Dunham are victims in their own minds nyp.st/2CTNqhK via @nypost
This has been a rough week for women on the left.
It began with Hillary Clinton, the zombie candidate who just won’t die, giving an interview to CBS for a story about the post-#MeToo “pink wave” of younger women running for political office, many for the first time.

Guess who became the star?
As usual, Hillary herself, who spent a good part of that interview defending her husband’s sexual predation while disavowing her key role in what Clinton aides, back in the ’90s, cheerfully called the “nuts-and-sluts” shaming of all of Bill’s accusers.

Yet during the CBS interview Hillary would hear none of it, deploying the old scoundrel’s defense: You-say-he-is-but-what-about-Trump?
The party that demanded a thorough accounting of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual history, that insisted Kavanaugh’s accuser be heard and forced Al Franken from the Senate for far less is finally reckoning with the Clintons.
And the feminists, progressives and party loyalists who have spent decades making excuses for their hypocrisies and profiteering while sympathizing with Hillary’s self-created mythology as the Greatest Victim of Sexism in History have had it.
Today, Hillary’s approval rating remains where it was post-2016 loss, hovering between 36 and 38%. She has not been forgiven for losing the most winnable election in American history — and given her continued panhandling and limelight-stealing across the country, nor should she.
Hillary couldn’t put away a reality television star caught on tape bragging about grabbing women “by the p–y” — wonder why—
She has spent the past 2 years blaming everything from Russian hacks to the FBI to Obama’s lack of support to Bernie Sanders for daring to mount a challenge (one she and the DNC did much to destabilize) to the mainstream media to institutionalized sexism for her mortifying loss.
Her reaction to this most dismal week?
Leak that she might run for president again. Of course! Who cares about the damage to the party or the country? Who cares about any of the other female senators or congresswomen so patiently waiting their turn?

When it comes to Hillary and what she wants — and all she has ever wanted is to be the first female president — we’re all just collateral.
In terms of smug self-importance wholly incommensurate with public sentiment, Hillary has no greater heir than millennial soap-boxer Lena Dunham, herself on a karmic trajectory.
On Friday, in an email to subscribers, Dunham, a self-appointed voice of her generation, (and self-admitted child molester), announced her three-year-old newsletter Lenny was, well, done.
The erosion was surely accelerated by Dunham’s vocal defense, months later, of one of her employees, a writer on “Girls” who had been credibly accused of rape.
