Before Broaddrick tweeted this message, Clinton’s campaign website had a sexual assault page which read victims have “a right to be heard”. You have the right to be heard. “You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you”, Clinton said in September 2015.

For over two decades, Juanita Broaddrick has accused President Bill Clinton of raping her. “We’re with you.” Hillary Clinton loves to champion herself as standing up boldly for women against the Republicans and their supposed “war on women”.
“I’m very appreciative to him for bringing out this about Clinton”, Broaddrick said, however, “I don’t have any plans towards that at this moment”. The Clinton campaign declined to provide a comment for BuzzFeed’s story.
Broaddrick states her actions are not politically motivated and she was upset when Trump used a clip from her “Dateline” interview in an attack ad without her permission.
Still Broaddrick plans on voting for Trump in the fall, telling Buzzfeed she couldn’t possibly send her rapist and the woman who protected him back to the White House. “You take the most terrible part of my Dateline interview, where I’m crying, trying to relate what had happened to me, and put that in a campaign ad?”
It’s also important to note that while Broaddrick has tried to return to normalcy, her story seems to resurface any time Hillary Clinton is in the spotlight.
“Any allegation that the president assaulted Mrs. Broaddrick more than 20 years ago is absolutely false”. At the last second, Clinton called up to Broaddrick’s room and asked if they could meet there instead, since there were reporters in the lobby below. She first made her allegations against Hillary (the threatening handshake at the 1978 political rally) public in 2000 when Hillary was running for senator of NY.
When Jones’ lawyers subpoenaed her, Broaddrick signed an affidavit denying that Clinton had ever raped her.

Currently living in the small town of Van Buren, Arkansas, the retired nursing home operator, now 73, recently told BuzzFeed that Clinton had “no remorse”. As long as the Clintons remain a political dynasty (and because the public has no way of knowing what truly happened in 1978), speculation will only continue to run rampant-and continue to exist as a political issue.
