Journalist and comedian Francesca Fiorentini had people laughing on Monday evening — but not in the way she had hoped. During a heated debate about the Trump trial on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Fiorentini berated Trump for his “crimes” but wasn’t able to identify what those said “crimes” were in his 34-count felony conviction.
Fiorentini’s media appearance took a turn for the worse when she failed to coherently address Piers Morgan’s question about the stark differences in how Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were treated for similar offenses.
Morgan asked, “Why is Bill Clinton able to have sex with an intern in the Oval Office when he’s President and lie to the American people about it on national television? And why is he able to pay off Paula Jones $850,000, four times as much, five times as much as the Trump payment to Stormy Daniels, to get rid of a sexual harassment claim, again, while he’s President, and he has no criminal court recourse for that? Why is that deemed to be better than what happened with Trump and Stormy?”

PIERS MORGAN: “Why is Bill Clinton able to have sex with an intern in the Oval Office when he’s President and lie to the American people about it on national television? And why is he able to pay off Paula Jones $850,000, four times as much, five times as much as the Trump payment to Stormy Daniels, to get rid of a sexual harassment claim, again, while he’s President, and he has no criminal court recourse for that? Why is that deemed to be better than what happened with Trump and Stormy?”
FRANCESCA FIORENTINI: “I don’t think anyone is making that case, Piers.”
PIERS MORGAN: “No, I’m asking you, what’s the difference? What’s the difference?”
FRANCESCA FIORENTINI: “The difference is that he didn’t cook the books financially using his own, like using back channels in order to pay.”
PIERS MORGAN: “So paying somebody off who says you sexually harassed her, paying her nearly a million dollars while you’re the President of the United States and then having sex with an intern in the Oval Office and lying about it, that’s fine because he’s a Democrat?”
FRANCESCA FIORENTINI: “Only the leftists in your mind are making that argument.”
PIERS MORGAN: “Sorry?”
The Democrat mantra: if we didn’t have double standards, we wouldn’t have standards at all.
"Cooking the books" - ya mean, what Michael Cohen did? Anybody who thinks Donald Trump does his own bookkeeping is seriously mentally deficient. Nor was it ever proved at any time that Trump directed how any payments were recorded, and in fact it was quite clear he thought the money was for legal services from Cohen.
But hey, Democrats live on pithy sound bites to their moronic supporters, who will use their hate for Trump to justify any leaps of illogic.
