Which is why someone in the spotlight needs to be careful at times. I can't tell you how many times someone I supported made me cringe over something they said or did, because I knew the right wing would jump all over it. That's just the way it works. We jump on their missteps, too.

I don't think that the poster said they were "justified", they said that's the way the GOP works in creating a "big lie". That's true. They used the Clintons being trashed to no end for years as an example. Again, it's true.

But you said this:

I never believed the "big lies" about Bill and Hillary until this campaign season.

I defended them vigorously, assuming that they were unfairly smeared by the media and the GOP. Now I'm not so sure. And that's Bill and Hillary's fault, not anyone else's.

So, unless your point is that the attacks on the Clintons were justified, and now you see, I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make here.
