Actually the hate really geared up under Clinton's admin. The whole Monica BJ circus. Was he wrong? Oh yeah. But the committees, hearing, media coverage, etc. was way over the top. Then Bush comes along and starts wars, lies, runs up a huge deficit, and no one in the GOP gave a damn. But a BJ? That they cared about. It was the Benghazi of the 90's, it was nothing but a political witch hunt. And everyone knew it. It was all downhill after that.
So IMO you are very wrong about where it 'started'. And BTW in the 90's i was a 100% Republican. And even then I was wondering why we were spending all that time and money on a BJ and an icky dress. Later on I found out. A political witch hunt.
I realize there is quite the effort to replace lying under oath, and perjury with the BJ meme, but really, it was the lying and perjury that got peoples attention. BJ's are probably a dime a dozen in D.C..
Whether you were a Republican before or not means nothing to me.
