Bob Schieffer: Rape Accusers Had ‘Some Relationship’ with Bill Clinton

CBS News’ veteran anchor Bob Schieffer expressed outrage Sunday that Republican nominee Donald Trump focused attention on the women who accused former President Bill Clinton of rape and sexual assault.

“How have we come to this? This is supposed to be a campaign for the most powerful office of the land. Here we’re marching in women into the hall who supposed to have some relationship with one of the candidate’s spouses. What’s that supposed to prove?”

The “relationships” that the women had with Bill Clinton allegedly included rape and violent sexual assault.

“We were not willing participants,” said rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick at a press conference preceding the debate. “These were crimes.”

Another accuser, Kathleen Willey, said: “These are not infidelities. A rape is not an infidelity. These are crimes. Any other people would be in jail … This is no longer about infidelities, indiscretions, girlfriends, sex, interns — none of those. This is about a serial rapist, a predator, and his wife who has enabled his behavior all of these years.”

Broaddrick and Willey joined Paula Jones and Kathy Shelton — who was the 12-year-old victim of a rape in a case where Hillary Clinton gleefully defended the accused — in the front row of the debate. Schieffer was indignant that Bill Clinton’s “relationship” should have been in focus, even as the Clinton campaign and the debate moderators accused Donald Trump of “sexual assault” for jokes he made in 2005 about groping women.

“I mean this is what they do in Banana Republic. This is the United States of America,” Schieffer said.

Relationship? Got it. Ted Bundy had a relationship with the women that he murdered, like that kind of relationship, Bob??

[Sasparilla]

One “relationship” included lip biting, better get some ice rape?

[SoCal Pubbie]

Shouldn’t NOW be calling for Schieffer’s head? Isn’t this a reflection of the “old boys network” and the “she was just asking for it” defense?

[Gay State Conservative]

Ted Kennedy had a relationship with Mary Jo.Of course she,sadly,didn’t understand what Teddy meant by “relationship”.

[Steely Tom]

Bob Schieffer is truly a stupid man.

[4Liberty]

So did Bill Cosby.

[BRL]

Low hanging fruit. He is making the dems choke on their own platitudes.

[Gay State Conservative]

Well,there's rape and then there's "rape".

[Junk Silver]

“Bob Schieffer is truly a stupid man.”

You misspelled “evil” there.

[Democrats hate too much]

They need to say Rape is not sex. It is violence.

[TxAg1981]

Whoa!!! Bob!. So, Bob Sheifer’s position is “NO does not necessarily mean No”. If you have a “relationship” (whatever that means) with someone then it cannot be called rape.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I mean this is what they do in a Banana Republic. This is the United States of America

Which officially became a Banana Republic in 2008, Bob. Guess you weren't paying attention.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Scheiffer is blinded by ideology, and perhaps stupid, certainly not that bright.

He did get it right, he just got it turned around. In banana republics the elite (like the Clintons) are above the law and get away with rape, murder, bribery, and treason. In a constitutional republic, they don't. We await the results of the upcoming election to see which republican model the USA follows.

[OttawaFreeper]

I wonder what relationships LBJ had with his ladies? Wasn’t he the one that when he was a congressman, he’d talk openly about his private parts in the presence of the female office staff?

[ealgeone]

I believe that was part of shillary’s defense of the rapist of the 12 yr old.

[realcleanguy]

So, if a Democrat politician rapes a woman, it’s called a “relationship”. I see..... Bill Clinton and the Democrats are actually following Islamic Law under the Hadiths where rape and sexual intercourse is acceptable.

[Theodore R.]

Schieffer is a Fort Worth native; he did not turn Republican when Tarrant County did.

[Common Sense 101]

Right, Bob... the “relationship” is rapist and victim. Dumbass.

[alancarp]

Is “victim” a relationship?

[Junk Silver]

“How have we come to this? This is supposed to be a campaign for the most powerful office of the land.”

Certainly he was referring to spending the first 15 minutes of the debate focusing on an 11 year old tape of one of the candidate’s raunchy language?

Trump using the word “pussy” in 2005 is a matter of utmost importance, but Hillary Clinton intimidating her husband’s rape victims has no bearing on her character. Thanks for clarifying that Bob.
