Is Hillary Clinton her own fixer? That’s what Lynne Cheney thinks. Earlier this week, Monica Lewinsky penned an essay in the June issue of Vanity Fair, opening up for the first time in 16 years about her sex scandal with Bill Clinton, and the former Second Lady thinks this is no coincidence.
During an interview on Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor, the wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney posited her theory behind Lewinsky’s recent piece.
“I really wonder if this isn’t an effort on the Clintons’ part to get that story out of the way,” Cheney questioned. “Would Vanity Fair publish anything about Monica Lewinsky that Hillary Clinton wouldn’t want in Vanity Fair?”
Guest host Laura Ingraham quickly chimed in, declaring, “I love this theory! It actually makes perfect sense, and I’m mad I didn’t think of it first.”
Cheney wasn’t done, arguing that Hillary’s potential presidential bid was a definite factor in the timing of the magazine’s article.
“It happened at a time when Rand Paul has been criticizing the Clintons,” she continued. “It’s happened at a time when Hillary’s getting wrapped up to run. Getting it out of the way so it can say one more time that it’s old news seems like a strategy or a tactic, perhaps.”
