We all knew it would happen sooner or later: Hillary Clinton had the nerve to weigh in on the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh; and, unsurprisingly, her comments were immediately slapped down by Bill Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton stated that “Republicans […] from the White House down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Senate, [should] give the benefit of the doubt to the court and country” by opening an FBI investigation of Kavanaugh “that will then lead to a hearing that will then lead to a vote if appropriate.”
She continued, “The White House could answer [Christine Blasey Ford’s request] very quickly by asking the FBI to reopen its background check and to take into account the accusation that’s been made and to gather the evidence about what can be known. So far, they haven’t done that. And as someone who has watched this process unfold over many years, there does have to be some direction given to the FBI to pursue an investigation.”
Let’s all say it together now: “Hypocrite!”
It’s truly astounding that Clinton had the gall to preach about giving the “benefit of the doubt” to Ford when she herself has actively silenced her husband’s many accusers – a fact that was not lost on Juanita Broaddrick, who immediately responded to Hillary’s hypocrisy.
The IRONY……@HillaryClinton will go down in history as the most deceitful and dishonest villain in America. https://t.co/8iuCiws2Ed

If you want the FBI to go back that far @HillaryClinton @MSNBC to investigate Ford’s allegations…. let’s investigate my RAPE allegations against Bill Clinton, too. Seems only fair.

Yeah, Eric, I agree……just like they swooped in and investigated my Rape Allegations against Bill Clinton…..NOT! https://t.co/7y8wRXBdKa

Broaddrick, who has maintained for decades that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, spoke with The Political Insider in June about the backlash she faced when she first accused Clinton in 1999.
Of course, Broaddrick wasn’t the only person floored by Clinton’s hypocritical support of Ford. Many, many others felt just the same:
Maybe we can have the @FBI investigate Juanita Broaddrick’s against Bill Clinton, too? @atensnut @JudicialWatch

Every woman’s allegations should be heard. Unless she was raped by Bill Clinton or Keith Ellison.

The fact of the matter is that far more credible accusations have been leveled against Bill Clinton than what Ford claims about Kavanaugh; she can’t keep her story straight, and every day someone new emerges to poke holes in her accusation. But Kavanaugh has the misfortune of being a Trump nominee, and that means liberals will go to any length to prevent his confirmation – even if it means being on the wrong side of history.
