Oh Republicans would have definitely cared if Clinton had an affair with anyone. They didn't care that Monica was an intern. They wanted to vilify a Democrat.

And honestly it is a big deal if any politician has an affair since it's then a huge vulnerability making them susceptible to coercion and blackmail.
