Bill Clinton accuser to make Capitol Hill appearance in support of Kavanaugh (Hooray for Juanita!)

Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who has accused former President Bill Clinton of rape, will hold a rally Thursday in support of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh ahead of his highly anticipated appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Broaddrick, along with representatives of Women for Trump, will be on Capitol Hill Thursday to throw their support behind Kavanaugh and highlight "the hypocrisy of Democrats in how they treat victims of sexual assault," according to a press release promoting the event.

"How can I, as a victim, not sympathize with Dr. Ford??" Broaddrick wrote on Twitter. "Plain and simple. I do not believe her. She has cast a dark shadow on real victims. Democrats have already convicted this honorable man. What about Judge Kavanaugh and his family?"

I think we’re all tired of playing politics. We want truth and justice.

That might cost him votes.

It's not going to cost Kavanaugh any democrat votes, that's for sure.

Republicans? We already know about the weak-kneed players on our side.

So, no; it's doubtful that this is going to change any minds from what they've already decided.

Juanita Broaddrick is a very courageous and good woman. God bless her.

Ridiculous and unnecessary distraction. She should stay home. This is about Kavanaugh!!!

><

You don’t have a clue about what this is about.

I do and bringer her there unnecessrily reminds them of his role in Clinton investigation. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that is a distraction.

It may cost a Democrat vote. He will get a few. What if someone is reminded of the connection, that puts them on the spot. It will not win any Republican votes so why do it. No upside except the reminder insult.

You rock Juanita B!

??? Parading her around is not constructive for Kavanaugh. What value does it do? Jeesh, people need to focus on what is at stake. This is NOT about Clinton!

Um, why not make it about Clinton instead?

Why not have the media endlessly discuss Clinton's sexual escapades and even felonious behavior instead?

Why not lessen the amount of screen-time given to K's accusers, in favor of C's accusers?

Why not re-direct the controversy (while, in the background, K gets appointed)?

There are a group of women that have been assulted going there to back Kavanaugh not inside but outside to show support against all the RABID protesters Juanita will be joining them!!! God bless her!!!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If all of Bill Clintons actual victims and those who claimed to be victims were to come to Congress, they’d need to build a new one, fast.

This will further discredit the media’s make-believe concern over sexual crime and misbehavior. We know they aren’t really bothered by rape if its done by b*ll cl*nton. So what’s behind their “concern” for the abortion-hound Ford?

[adorno]

It may cost a Democrat vote.

It's not going to cost Kavanaugh any democrat votes. They were all going to vote against him anyway, so, no change, no matter what. You can't lose what you never had.

What if someone is reminded of the connection, that puts them on the spot. It will not win any Republican votes so why do it.

If the vote for confirmation is done, republicans will still vote the way they were going to a few weeks ago. It's only the RINOs who might vote against, but then, that was also expected a few weeks ago. Kavanaugh might still get 50/50 and the VP would break the tie.

I can see your point.

Look, I feel awful for Juanita... but her appearance does more to remind everyone that “we” the collective public, didn’t believe her. She is part of the believe women narrative the left is pushing...

At this point, I do not believe the women and even if their stories are a teensy bit true... they themselves participated in a culture of heavy drinking. I saw it all around me in the 80’s and 90’s and was usually repulsed.
