Bill Clinton’s Rape Accuser To Monica Lewinsky: ‘Your Silence Was Deafening’
Daily Caller ^ | 10/19/17 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/19/2017 11:29:03 AM PDT by markomalley

The woman who accused Bill Clinton of raping her in a Little Rock hotel room in the 1970s is criticizing Monica Lewinsky by accusing the former White House intern of failing to come to her defense after she came forward in the 1990s with allegations against the past president.

Juanita Broaddrick, 74, called Lewinsky out over a post she made on Twitter over the weekend. Lewinsky used the #MeToo hashtag, which went viral in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

Broaddrick responded on Thursday, writing on Twitter: “Better late than never Monica Lewinsky’s ME TOO. I have always felt sad for you, but where were you when we needed you?”

In all fairness, Ms. Broaderick DIDN’T come forward for many years. She said she was scared to death of Hillary! So, cut Monica a little slack

Most replies (properly IMHO) are scolding Broderick for victim blaming and pointing out that back then Lewinsky was young and probably too scared.

No one has yet to ALSO point out that there was no social media platform back then and Lewinsky would have had no forum to use for support anyway.

They are both victims, but Broderick is victim of rape — Lewinsky mental control of a superior.

Agreed. She was young and at every disadvantage. Anyone who thinks Monica and Clinton were equally responsible hasn’t got a clue what they’re talking about.

And props to guerilla journalist Laura Loomer who went to a Chelsea Clinton book signing and asked her to sign one “To Juanita Broderick”. Chels of course refused and had security throw her out.

There is that and Monica’s delusion that she meant anything to Bill Clinton.

each woman faces it and speaks out when ready, unfortunately that doesn’t always come at opportune times for others.

As has been noted in the rude elsewhere:

In the 1970’s, the punctuation sign “#” was called “the pound sign”.

Amusing if you thing of the current “#MeToo”.

Monica happily lapped up .....err.... all the attention.
Unlike some other Clinton relationships, she was happy to give.....err....lip service to 42.

I’ve seen #sand elsewhere as a reply to a snarky comment, same idea.

Why would Monica come to her defense? Monica had a consensual relationship with BJC. I dont understand any link there, how would Monica have known?

Monica Lewinsky is the poster child for "some women like having sex with men with lots of power, the casting couch appeals to them". She saved her stained dress as a keepsake for heaven's sake! But when it all came out she was trashed and now she thinks that 20 years later she can erase the stigma of her intentional and wilful acts by pretending to be a victim.

Guess what? Lots of these women who are coming out now to wail about how they were victimized are doing the exact same thing as Monica. And it detracts from the true victims. Making them victims again.

IIRC Monica bent over a desk showing her thong to Slick, intentionally .
She invited Slick.

And I’ll bet a lot of the ‘# me too’ ladies did the same for career advancement.

I have always wondered where Monica’s piece of garbage parents were the whole time.
