The Clinton campaign has removed a statement from its Web site declaring that all survivors of sexual assault “have the right to be believed” — after being reminded that Bill Clinton was accused of rape decades ago.
The passage had been prominently featured on a page dedicated to “campus sexual assault” on HillaryClinton.com.
“I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault: Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you,” it read.
But by February, the sentence “You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you” was deleted ...
The deletion came after new attention was focused on Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978, when he was the attorney general of Arkansas.
...
Clinton ignored her protests, forcibly moving her onto the bed, where he raped her, she alleges.
“There was no remorse,” Broaddrick told BuzzFeed. “He acted like it was an everyday occurrence. He was not the least bit apologetic. It was just unreal.”
...
Donald Trump has repeated Broaddrick’s rape allegations and has even released video of Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, another woman who has accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.

I get what the article is saying and appreciate the irony of what the site said, pre-scrubbing, but this has forced them to be more sane in their statement
That is, people have a right to be heard, but you’ve got to earn the privilege of being believed.
Over/under on how long the MSM takes to ask her about it?
Yeah, okay - we all know.
Been months already.
Really ..?? How about YEARS ..???
Must be hard to be married to a serial rapist.
Why is the NY Post printing this now? Since it happened months ago, did a columnist, blog, talk show, etc. just start talking about it? I am glad it is being publicized, but wonder who brought it up now.
Keep bringing it back.

“BETTER TOGETHER”?
So, BJ will be the Actual.
Interesting twist.
