I don't think Al Gore was wrong in making it like a key cornerstone of like his presidential campaign and just like his personal activism. But the fact that Gore was associated with Clinton and that Republican having grown up in a Republican home, I can tell you the kind of hatred of the Clintons that existed in the late 1990s and in 2000 was beyond rational.
