MeToo
According to Wikipedia, the "Me Too" movement (or "#MeToo", with local alternatives in other languages) spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media to help demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. It followed soon after the public revelations of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein. The phrase created by Tarana Burke was popularized by Alyssa Milano when she encouraged women to tweet it to "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". Since then, the phrase has been posted online millions of times, often with an accompanying personal story of sexual harassment or assault.

The founder of the #MeToo movement strongly disagreed with Hillary Clinton's recent statement that her husband did not abuse his presidential power when he had an affair with a White House intern. "Sexual violence is not about sex," explained Tarana Burke, who began the "MeToo" movement 10 years before figures like Alyssa Milano helped make it viral with a hashtag. "It's about power. And it's about the abuse of power." Burke told The Root in an interview published Tuesday that it "is just tragic and it's wrong" for Hillary Clinton's to deny that former President Bill Clinton abused his power when he began an affair with 22-year-old Monica Lewinsky "It’s absolutely an abuse of power," Burke said. "Two people made a choice and one of those people was the most powerful man in the world."

Hillary Clinton’s latest comments on her husband’s affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky suggest that she doesn’t completely understand the #MeToo movement and her husband’s role in the need for its creation. More From Vanity Fair: .

And, then, there was CNN, doing what CNN does best, trying to hide or deflect criticism of the left and make it reflect on President Trump. More From CNN:
