Cuomo using 'Bill Clinton playbook' in hopes of retaining Democratic stature like ex-president: Marc Thiessen

Embattled New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo appears to be employing the "Bill Clinton playbook" Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen said on "Special Report" Tuesday.

In 1997, independent counsel Kenneth Starr had been investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton's connections to a controversial Arkansas land deal called Whitewater when he was made aware of recordings created by Pentagon staffer Linda Tripp, in which White House intern Monica Lewinsky spoke about her sexual relationship with President Clinton. Clinton was ultimately impeached but a conviction vote failed in the Senate. Thiessen noted Tuesday that despite his impeachment and the allegations against him, the 42nd President retained his power and prominence within the party, and most recently spoke at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. "Cuomo has learned the lesson from Bill Clinton, that if you are shameless and unrepentant and refuse to resign, you can survive anything," said Thiessen.
