No. I disagree. Because he was most likely cheating on his wife; cheating is never good, but if his wife was bisexual and they had a mutual attraction to Donna Rice and they had a three-way relationship, that's another story. For some reason the American public would have more of a problem with that than if someone goes behind their spouse's back and cheats.

Great professional, non sensational interview by CBS and Rita Braver. Thanks

I remember when this scandal happened in the 80s. It felt like a touchstone where the relationship between politics and media changed. For the worse. Instead of concerning ourselves with the issues and which politicians were the most qualified to lead, we became more interested in the salacious, the tabloid. One of the few, clear demarcations of when journalism became less of a public utility and instead adopted a for-profit, if it bleeds it leads ethos. At the expense of what was best for the country. That's my memory anyway.

What I found very strange was the timing of this leak. Hart was the Democratic frontrunner and was favored to win the election in 1988 and then an anonymous informer provided the Miami Herald information about Hart's affair with Donna Rice (which IMO didn't really qualify as an affair since Hart and his wife were separated at this time). This was akin to Watergate. It's almost as if someone wanted to make sure that Hart didn't win those elections.

In politics as in life, there is no such thing as a sure thing (and proof of that is now-infamous Chicago Tribune headline that read Dewey Defeats Truman in the 1948 elections). But the 1988 Democratic field was made up of virtual unknowns apart from Jesse Jackson which meant that Gary Hart had something those other candidates didn't have; name recognition. IMO, he certainly would have made a much better candidate than Mike Dukakis did. We'll never know now but I believe Hart would have gotten the Democratic nomination in 1988.

@@Justin.Martyr It was a reference to the TV commercial for the Wendy's hamburger chain that they aired in that era.

I bet the movie wont include this: In September, 1975, a sub-committee made up of Hart and Richard Schweiker was asked to review the performance of the intelligence agencies in the original John F. Kennedy assassination investigation. Hart and Schweiker became very concerned about what they found. On 1st May, 1976, Hart said: "I don't think you can see the things I have seen and sit on it." When the Final Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations was published in 1976, Hart joined Walter Mondale and Philip Hart to publish an appendix to the report. The three men pointed out that "important portions of the Report had been excised or security grounds". However, they believed that the CIA had "used the classification stamp not for security, but to censor material that would be embarrassing, inconvenient, or likely to provoke an adverse public reaction to CIA activities." The appendix went on to say: "Some of the so-called security objections of the CIA were so outlandish they were dismissed out of hand. The CIA wanted to delete reference to the Bay of Pigs as a paramilitary operation, they wanted to eliminate any reference to CIA activities in Laos, and they wanted the Committee to excise testimony given in public before the television cameras. But on other more complex issues, the Committee's necessary and proper concern for caution enabled the CIA to use the clearance process to alter the Report to the point where some of its most important implications are either lost, or obscured in vague language." Hart called for a new Senate Committee to look into the events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He said it was necessary to take a closer look at Lee Harvey Oswald and his relationship with the FBI and the CIA. In an interview he gave to the Denver Post Hart said the questions that needed answering included: "Who Oswald really was - who did he know? What affiliation did he have in the Cuban network? Was his public identification with the left-wing a cover for a connection with the anti-Castro right-wing?" In the interview Hart went on to state that he believed Oswald was probably operating as a double-agent. He thought this was one of the reasons why the FBI and CIA had made "a conscious decision to withhold evidence from the Warren Commission."

Wow, I remember this story as though it were just yesterday! Sen. Hart was an excellent public servant... a very intelligent man who could have been an extraordinary president. Overall, it was a huge loss for the nation. It's interesting how he implicates Lee Atwater, as the evil Svengali behind the scandal. I ALWAYS thought that was the case, as the Bush people most feared Hart as their opponent in that election. Hearing Hart make that accusation during this interview sent a shiver down my spine. Also, the rules of politics have indeed changed, starting in earnest with Bill Clinton in '92. Clinton, with his wife by his side, was willing to stand, fight and push-back hard against stories about his marital infidelities. Prior to that, the mere whiff of scandal could dismantle a political career. All these years later, Donald Trump has perfected the art of fighting back, with Brett Kavanaugh's High Court confirmation hearing being the supreme example (for better, or for worse for our nation).

He should have realized that celebrities always live under scrutiny and whatever they do may hurt their careers. Hart had seen what happened to Ted Kennedy or Thomas Eagleton.

Even though 90% of these power players in Washington had side pieces (and still do). This is why I despise when one side tries to out the other for sexual affairs -- they ALL are guilty of it. I agree with him, though. If it ain't illegal, it's nobody's business. This is why I am surprised when the left tries to bash Trump over his (many) extra-marital affairs.

It’s the principle though. For anyone to pretend like they know what goes into a sixty year marriage.

The court of public opinion is never nuanced or thoughtful and it convicts a lot of innocent people. The irony is that a story of a politician possibly being unfaithful gets the media drooling but that very same politician could lie and fabricate evidence to get us into a 20 year war that costs us trillions of tax payer dollars and that same media won’t do even 10% of the investigative work they did reporting the potential adultery. It’s pathetic.

Men like Gary Hart remember the value of privacy and stand on principle to continue protecting themselves from unlawful intrusions into their privacy. Not to mention self respect. Some people don’t remember or even consider that older generations, raised under very different circumstances don’t always share the same frame of mind as the younger ones.

Kendall Miller, what planet do you live on? You think Trump colluded with Russia because you want to believe it. There is NO evidence of that! You're the one making a FOOL of yourself here! Just shut up!

nobody is perfect

You put any man, and I mean any man in the right position and they will be tempted. If you say otherwise you're lying to yourself. Men generally don't cheat because they don't put themselves in that position. Damn shame what happened to him.

The Atlantic is about as reputable as info wars

So Trump's previous marriages should have not been mentioned by the Press?

He was a socialite for his first two marriages, attending Hollywood parties looking for women to bed. He was a member of the Democratic Party (but no one remembers that).

They were long before he ever ran for office.

A reminder that he predicted 9/11

CBS can be counted on to soft market the "story" of a collectivist big government liberal. Required viewing by all Democrats? The couple of personality over principle.

You don’t like collectivism, fine, don’t drive on OUR roads on your way to work.

Gary Hartpence on a CBS Sunday morning show defines boring, irrelevant and clueless to a degree not thought possible.

Hart took the brunt. Bad timing

Reporting and journalism used to be a noble profession. Reporters and journalists ruined that perception.

My gramps really liked you. 😎

Total BS. Typical self-righteous, the-rules-do-not-apply-to-me Democrat. You got caught, Hart, and the nation is better for it. Go fish.

Monkey business, huh 😏🤔🤣

scdevon right. So the party of “family values” doesn’t care about marital affairs? Who do you think you’re kidding?

Even if they weren't having an affair, you shouldn't be sneaking around with women who aren't your wife!

It happens. If that’s too much for you to handle you should be a monk. I vote for politicians who are honest with their indiscretions. Trump was, Clinton wasn’t. Hart certainly wasn’t. Just be honest and it defuses the whole thing.

Sometimes wives completely lose interest in any sex at all while husbands still have an interest in sex. The affair saves the marriage because it takes the tension away.

"I vote for politicians who are honest with their indiscretions. Trump was" Huh? Trump lied about his affairs, and about his sexual assaults. At one point he even lied about that being his voice on the Access Hollywood tape, where he brags about assaulting women.

CBS can't get over a Republican election victory. In 1988. lol
