Sunday, popular conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge tweeted that he was about to unleash a bombshell that could completely alter the 2016 presidential election race.
“Oh, on the sex stuff. Hillary is about to get hers … ,” he wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with talk show host-comedienne-actress Ellen DeGeneres.
The implication is that Drudge is about to unleash a story regarding Clinton’s own marital infidelity. By using the photo of Clinton talking with DeGeneres, there are rumors that story may also “out” the former secretary of state as a lesbian.
If so, neither story would necessarily be new—although if it came with credible proof, it could be a complete game-changer for the election, now just three weeks away.
In the past, Clinton was alleged to have had an extramarital relationship with Webster Hubbell, who was a partner at the Rose Law Firm with Hillary in the 1980s. Her daughter, Chelsea, was alleged to have been fathered by Hubbell, not President Bill Clinton, according to the theory.
Then, in the run-up to the 2008 Democratic presidential primary, it was alleged Clinton had a long-standing lesbian relationship with her aide, Huma Abedin. Those claims, lacking any evidentiary support, were deemed unfounded.
The liberal mainstream media has often portrayed Clinton as the victim of her husband’s marital infidelities, but rumors have always swirled that she was far more upset about his getting caught than what he had done. Other rumors have suggested theirs was an “open relationship” in which they each committed adultery.
Drudge developed his brand name as a conservative muckraker in the early 1990s by jumping on stories about the Clintons that other news organizations refused to cover, or that reporters told him their editors had “spiked.” Chief among them was President Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
His website doesn’t currently make any mention of an upcoming report.
