It’s always interesting when Hillary Clinton is forced to discuss sexual assault. The cognitive dissonance she has to have to act as if she takes it seriously after covering it up for her husband for years is astounding.
The rape and sexual assault, abuse, and harassment claims piling up against liberal Hollywood mega-donor Harvey Weinstein built to a point where Hillary could ignore it no longer.
Oh, the irony! In an interview with the BBC over the weekend, Hillary said:
It was just disgusting and the stories that have come out are just heartbreaking. And I really commend the women who have been willing to step forward now and tell their stories.
But I think it’s important that we not just focus on him and whatever consequences flow from these stories about his behavior but that we recognize that this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere, whether it’s in entertainment, politics. After all, we have someone admitting to be a sexual assaulter in the Oval Office.
That quote could easily have been said of her husband Bill and his many, many accusers! And to his credit, the BBC interviewer brought up Bill’s victims and asked Hillary if it was the right thing for her to dismiss those women.
She replied, “Well, yes, because that had all been litigated. That was the subject of a huge investigation as you might recall in the late ’90s and there were conclusions drawn and that was clearly in the past. But it is something that has to be taken seriously — as I say for everyone, not just for those in entertainment right now.”
Well, is it “for everyone” to be taken seriously or just anyone who’s not your husband?
Bill Clinton’s former mistress Dolly Kyle objected to Hillary’s characterization of the accusations against Bill, “Hillary said the sex assault cases against her ‘husband’ had been litigated. That’s a lie. Does she know what litigated means?”

Hillary reiterated to the BBC that she was “shocked and appalled,” just as she said when she finally put out a statement last week.
Juanita Broaddrick, one of Bill Clinton’s victims, had one of the best responses, “Hillary, you weren’t shocked or appalled. You have lived with that same behavior from your husband for decades.”

Paula Jones chimed in, too:

Dolly Kyle also keyed in on Hillary’s use of the word “appalled” by asking:
What’s the difference between rape by Weinstein and rape by Clinton? Why is Hillary appalled only at Weinstein? Where’s N.O.W.? #DollyKyle✍?

There is no difference. In fact, Weinstein once gushed to Bill, “I always learn amazing things from you.”
He probably did learn from Bill. As Kathleen Willey points out, Bill Clinton’s sexually abusive behavior was documented well before Weinstein’s:
HW's bad behavior started 30 years ago.Bill's started 50 years ago,that we know of.Fellow college student filed report of rape in the '60's.

In case you need a reminder about the nexus between Harvey, Bill, Hollywood, and covering up sexual assault, here’s a flashback from 1998 when Harvey Weinstein, along with a whole host of Hollywood luminaries, contributed to Bill Clinton’s legal defense fund amid the Paula Jones civil lawsuit.

I’m wondering with Paula if Bill’s going to return the favor and contribute to Harvey’s legal defense fund…

Speaking of funds, the Clinton Foundation has announced that it will NOT be returning Harvey’s roughly $250,000 in donations. No wonder Bill and Chelsea have been running away from the press, refusing to answer questions!
Hillary already said she was going to give her Weinstein donations to charity … by including it in the usual 10 percent she gives to charity each year. Huh?? That’s not how it works, Hill. You give your 10 percent AND the Weinstein money on top of that for it to count!
Hillary is so disingenuous and fake! Watch her feign sympathy for sexual assault victims on the BBC:
Do you think Bill’s sexual assaults are “in the past” or should they be compared to Harvey Weinstein’s? Tell us in the comments below!
