Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut · 12h
I never cared for Ed Henry. His past is problematic.
As for Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.... dont believe it.
The left is desperate to destroy the truth.... and their ratings.
It wont fly.

For those who are unaware, Broaddrick is a woman who claimed in the late 1990s that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her back in the 1970s.
She's made a big production about how no one ever listened to her back in the 90s and how the Clintons sought to "silence" her, even claiming Hillary made verbal threats to her. Problem for her is there's no documentable evidence for any such assault that exists from the 70s, and the only time she went under oath, she actually denied ever being sexually assaulted by Clinton. Even Ken Starr had no use for her accusations.
And take that as you will, but what is really bad about Broaddrick is that on one hand she portrays herself as a great advocate for women who have been the victim of sexual misconduct of high profile political figures...but only if the accusations being lodged are made against Democratic and liberal politicians. So people like Al Franken and Joe Biden were immediately branded as sexual deviants by Broaddrick.
But on the other hand, if accusations are made against any conservative or Republican politicians, Broaddrick immediately dismisses the accusations as a witch hunt. So she was quick to defend the likes of Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh. But what is even worse is that she'll openly attack the women making the allegations. Not just to the substance of their claims, but she'll actually go as low as to mock their physical appearances and other superficial factors. She was especially brutal on Christine Blasey Ford, as well as E. Jean Carroll, the woman accusing Donald Trump of sexual assault.
And worst of all, just two days after the "Grab 'em by the pussy" Access Hollywood tapes surfaced, Broaddrick happily appeared at the side of Donald Trump--literally--to defend his honor, which she continues to do unabated to this very day on her Twitter account.
So it's no surprise that she's similarly rushed to the side of Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, two men who have given Broaddrick a platform to continue to make her allegations against the Clintons.
I'll just leave it bluntly: Based on her behavior and gross hypocrisy, Juanita Broaddrick makes me want to use words about her I would never otherwise want to use about anyone.
She's a nasty piece of work, plain and simple.

(6,143 posts)Broaddrick denied that Clinton had raped her.

(43,199 posts)And she's had ample opportunity to retract those sworn statements, but has not done so.
Because subjecting one's self to perjury is hard, but constantly defaming a person in the media to people willing to give you an outlet (such as Hannity and Carlson) is easy.

(10,500 posts)He was the one who dug her up. Ultimately, even Starr couldn't make her story sound reasonable, so he came up with a clever strategy. Instead of putting her forward, and having her go up in flames, he left her story lurking in the background, where people could paint it in a sinister light, without having facts and details wash over the story to debunk it.

(43,199 posts)And then he had the balls to testify at Trump's impeachment that the impeachment process had become overly political.
