This is my response to a man who wanted to know why I asked the questions as rudely as I did;
Thank you for asking what I was so concerned with. I appreciate your interest. It all started when I saw Juanita Broaddrick give an hour long interview on Dateline NBC to Lisa Myers in 1999 where she said she was raped by Bill Clinton in 1978. You can find a video of it on Youtube.
I believed her so when Al Gore was running for president, I asked him if he believed her too because I was shocked that women's groups like NOW were not demanding answers. Gore told me that he doesn't know the story but that I should forgive Clinton anyway as if I was asking about an affair, not a crime.
After Broaddrick saw that question on TV, she called me and I asked her all the questions people were throwing at me about why she may not be telling the truth. I was in a support group at the time for rape and sexual assault survivors and I know this subject better than I want to. We also visited convicted sex offenders and rapists at the state prison and discussed our side of the issue with them and listened to theirs. It was very informative, to say the least. I often felt sympathy for some of the things they went through but made it clear that acting on their anger or selfishness or whatever made them do that was never OK.
During the call Broaddrick made to me back then, she told me that she felt that Hillary personally threatened her soon after the attack, threatened to keep quiet about it. I specifically asked if she could have thought it was consensual. Hillary had spoken of the incident on a car ride to the event, Broaddrick told me, unaware that the driver was someone Broaddrick knew through a friend, things were said that made her believe that Hillary knew about it and did not think it was consensual.
At any rate, it is very weird that Hillary now says on the campaign trail that women should be believed when they say they have been raped(she is correct about that, false reports are rare, it happens but it is not the norm) but told a questioner on the trail last month that she does not believe Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey(who has said that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her by grabbing her breast when they were in the Oval Office together).
Clinton told the questioner that she does not believe them because of evidence against them. I would like to know what that is. It is true that Broaddrick told her story very reluctantly and first said nothing happened in an effort to make it all go away but when the FBI started asking her about it, she was advised that she cannot lie to them. even if she wants to.That is when she told the whole story to them.
I have met Hillary 3 times before today and twice I have asked her if she believes Broaddrick. She told me she does not know who she is in 07 in Nashua and in July of this past summer in Gorham, she told me that again and that she doesn't care about this.
How then can she evaluate evidence of some kind about a woman she does not know or care to find out about? I am sick of playing the game, I get it, Hillary believes Broaddrick was raped and that is why she will not discuss it in any sincere way. That is what drove me to do what I did today, my concern for sexual assault survivors.
If I could have brought this issue up in any polite way or if people in her campaign really did follow up with me by calling me, I would never have been so impolite. I know I was impolite but in this whole scenario, you are angry at the wrong person, save that anger for Bill Clinton for being a sexual predator or for the woman who enables him-not me. I hope that explains everything you wanted to know and thank you again for your interest and for asking.
THIS is why apologies are sooooooo important in DC.
Elites 'forgive' each other for CRIMES.
Think how silly it would be IF in flyover if a wife could say she 'forgives' her husband for robbing a bank and everyone went along with it.
Evil. Silly evil elites who need to be run out of office. Hillary is their queen... and the press the court thugs.
Hillary’s real answer: All that matters in raw power. If I had demanded that Bill own up to those women, his presidency would have been over before it started. Now, I don’t care about those women because if I give them any credence, MY presidency will be over before it starts.
The author is obviously afraid of powerful women.
Hillary's not going to be able to hide from this. She's the one who brought it up. She's the one who said that women who claim they were raped MUST be believed. This can of worms hasn't been opened yet...there's a lot more coming.
I’m very glad that Hillary is getting so much press over the pervert she is married to.
I'd guess there are a lot of staff & hangers-on at Epstein's place.
"Drag a $100 bill through that crowd" and someone will talk.

Thank you for posting.
She is a very honest and courageous person to hold the toes of the Clintons and the media to the fire.
Hopefully she is on the right side of other issues as well. Even if not, she shows Ryan and his crew the path they should be taking.
Like you said.
It’s not just that she is married to a pervert. The problem is that she practices all manner of covering for him to the point of being an enabler. There is also the fact that she defended a rapist whom she knew to be guilty. There is also the fact that she herself is reputed to be “on the prowl” for gullible young women for her own abuses. She’s in it deep.
Cosby would be better off hiding from CNN, NBC at the Clinton Lair, as no one dare ask questions there!
“What difference, at this point, does it make?” Clinton responded.
This is the woman that heckled Hillary, I take it?
Yes. She has confronted Hillary before and Hillary claims she does not even know who Broaddrick is.
I’d love to see our nominee invite Ms. Broaddrick to sit in the front row of every Presidential debate.
If they must report it accurately then they just won’t report it.
Katherine Prudhomme O’Brien is a strong voice for women. She is my heroine.....
If this is the real Kathleen, thanks for joining us. Kath told me ahead of time she was going to be there. And she plans to go to the community college today.
Hillary didn’t just Stand by Bill, she went and DESTROYED the women’s reputations and threatened them!! Big difference.....Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson, etc. STOOD BY....Hilary DESTROYED the WOMEN!!!
Why the Hell is there just ONE person asking these questions??? WHERE ARE ALL THE MEN and WOMEN of CONSCIENCE???
I was reading the remarks on her face book page...have never seen so many STUPID pro Clinton women in one spot! Scary that people are that damn dumb.
None of them will tolerate hearing Hillary try to destroy a 12 year old rape victim. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2015/09/23/1424294/-Rape-victim-SLAMS-Hillary-Clinton
