"Clinton's attempt to socialize healthcare was the second most disgusting thing he did in the Oval Office. I can't remember was the first thing was?"
About this Quote
The intent isn’t to debate “socialized” healthcare (itself a loaded framing of the Clinton plan). It’s to downgrade public policy into a moral offense, then rank it beneath an implied act of sexual misconduct. That ranking is the subtext: government expansion is not merely misguided, it is indecent - a violation akin to the lurid mythology of the Oval Office. In one sentence, she fuses small-government ideology with cultural grievance politics, inviting the audience to experience bureaucracy as contamination.
Context matters: post-impeachment America, conservative media’s rise, and Coulter’s role as a provocateur who treats outrage as both currency and identity signal. The line works because it’s engineered for repetition. It’s short, quotable, and structured to travel - a scandal-and-policy twofer that turns a complex legislative battle into a punchline, and then turns the punchline into a tribal shibboleth.
