British journalist Andy Marr went there. The BBC presenter on Sunday hammered Hillary Clinton in a way that most American reporters wouldn’t dare. After asking her about the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Marr didn’t let this bit of hypocrisy go unchecked from the presidential candidate: “We recognize that this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere, whether it’s in entertainment, politics.”

After Clinton suggested that women need to “stand” against abuse from men, Marr shot back: “This depends on women coming forward and having the courage to come forward. And yet in your book, the three women brought onto stage by Trump attacking your husband and you kind of dismissed them. Was that the right thing to do? Were you sure about that?”

Marr’s reference was to Trump bringing Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey and Kathy Shelton, women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct, to a 2016 presidential debate with Hillary Clinton.

Typically, Mrs. Clinton described this all as old news:

CLINTON: Well, yes. Because that had all been litigated. That had been the subject of a huge investigation, as you might recall in the late ‘90s and there were conclusions drawn. And that was clearly in the past. But it is something that has to be taken seriously as I say for everyone, not just for those in entertainment right now.

Many of the accusations against Weinstein are old as well. Yet, we’re talking about them. Marr didn’t let Clinton off the hook. Instead, he lectured her on hypicrisy: “Nobody wants to blame women for what men do. But, nonetheless, powerful women like you also have a duty to call men out.”

In 2006, Marr called out his own BBC for bias, saying the network “is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people.” He added that the BBC has “a liberal bias, not so much a party-political bias.”

The BBC presenter refers to himself as a “libertarian.” Perhaps Mrs. Clinton looked at the BBC and simply assumed Marr was typically friendly, liberal territory.
