The series following the Clinton scandal regarding his Oval Office affair with then-intern Monica Lewinsky that ultimately led to his impeachment on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice was originally set to air in September but has been delayed until after the Nov. 3 presidential election due to what the network says is creator Ryan Murphy's busy schedule.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Trump was right when he called the media “enemies of America.”

Would they have postponed the episode if this were about a republican scandal?

History says, no.
