The Destruction Of A Political Career

May 7. 2010

Oprah Winfrey

The Rielle Hunter interview, conducted by the Oprah Winfrey show, regarding the John Edwards infidelity scandal, highlighted the fact, the country has witnessed the destruction of a political career. The more Hunter spoke, inappropriately referring to Edwards by pet names she gave him and revealing the intimate details of their affair, the greater the damage was done. It did not look good.

Hunter recalled an incident when John Edwards' wife Elizabeth, called the mobile phone she had given him, which alerted her to the affair. Edwards proceeded to dump Hunter and renew his marriage vows. However, shortly after, she told Edwards she is pregnant. The pregnancy was most likely deliberate, but Hunter lied to the public stating it was not Edwards' baby, but that of Andrew Young, with the hope it would not damage his political career, for which she would be blamed.

Hunter stated she now regrets lying, but she did not want him to blame her child or for the baby to grow up thinking, they'd destroyed his political career. However, Hunter is squarely to blame, as is Edwards, not the baby.

The Judiciary Report does not believe Edwards loves Hunter, as it appears to be lust and convenience. He clearly loved his wife, even renewing his vows in the midst of all the chaos. The National Enquirer broke the story and decimated John Edwards' political career. Now they are taking aim for U.S. President Barack Obama, stating he too had an adulterous affair, with a woman that worked for him, named Vera Baker.
