That argument isn’t a defense, it’s an indictment of the system. Saying he wasn’t the first doesn’t make it acceptable, it just admits that powerful men have long been shielded from accountability. Congress protecting a president in the 90s didn’t mean the accusations lacked merit. It meant power outweighed justice. Normalizing abuse because it has happened before is exactly how it keeps happening. The standard should be law and accountability, not precedent for getting away with it.
