1. Imagine if Bill Clinton was found civilly liable for forcibly penetrating a women's vagina without her consent

and sued Fox News, objecting to the word "rape" being used to describe it, on the grounds that the jury actually only found him liable for "sexual abuse". Imagine Fox settled for 5% of what Clinton was asking for in the case (to be donated to Clintons POTUS library), almost surely because that amount was less than it would cost them to argue it in court. IOW, a frivolous "shakedown" lawsuit. And then went around later falsely claiming he "won the case because Fox was so dishonest" (when in fact it was a settlement, not a victory again, for 5% of the requested amount, for referring to sexual abuse as rape), and calling individual ABC reporters (not even the ones who said blow job) "not good people" and "terrible reporters" in the aftermath.

Remember that the starting point is that he was found legally liable for sexual abuse in the first place, and his victim awarded 10's of Millions of $$$ by the court, in a jury trial.

The Right would've absolutely lost their minds, and the Left would ex-communicated him the moment that verdict was handed down.
