Woman To Hillary: Should We Believe Your Husband’s Rape Accusers?

Hillary Clinton has put women’s issues at the forefront of her campaign, which caused an audience member at a campaign event to ask her about the women who have accused Clinton’s husband of rape. The voter’s question, according to ABC News on Friday, was a follow-up on Hillary’s statement to the effect that “rape victims should be believed”.

Clinton responded: “Well, I would say that everyone should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence”.

The other women mentioned by the New Hampshire voter – Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey – have also accused former President Clinton of sexual assault and harassment.

Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported. Broaddrick then appeared on NBC’s “Dateline” and recounted how Clinton had kissed her, disheveled her clothes, and subsequently bit her after being refused sex. If she can answer a question such as this one as effectively as she did, it stands to reason that she can stand up to anything that her eventual GOP opponent might throw her way.

Bill Clinton’s office declined CNN’s request for comment. “Should we believe them as well?” the woman asked, referencing three of Bill Clinton’s accusers.

Kathleen Willey was a White House volunteer aide who said Clinton assaulted her during his first term in 1993.

“I don’t know about you, but that sounds a lot like blaming the victim”.

The Democratic candidate has laid out a proposal to curb sexual assault on college campuses as part of her campaign.
