She Doesnt Believe All Women
Juanita Broaddrick, who alleges that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, has found new life as a Trump defender.

Broaddrick told me she thinks Carroll just wanted attention. Carroll also acted strangely during an appearance on CNN, Broaddrick said. Im sure she knows hes gay, but it was like she was putting the make on Anderson Cooper. Ultimately, Broaddrick said, her skepticism comes down to her gutnot just her feelings about Carroll but about all the women who have accused the president of sexual improprieties. When youve been raped, you have a persona about youits almost like you can sense it. I dont have ESP, but you can almost feel their feelings if these things really happened to them.
She knows a rape victim when she sees one. Its hard to believe someone who has been so wounded by having her own rape case rejected (not to mention a person who has worked with abused children) would so blithely dispense with women who make similar claims.
Neyfakh has a theory about Broaddricks all-in attitude toward Trump: Shes found a willing audience in conservative media. She believes what she needs to believe. In other words, he said, shes a partisan hack, like the rest of us.
Yes, and maybe shes also embittered that the women now coming forward have been taken more seriously than she wasthan she still is, in some quarters. For all the heightened awareness of sexual assault, we are, of course, a polarized nation. It is at once astonishing and predictable that many of us look at an individual and see only her tribeeven those of us with the most cause to avoid that kind of reductive thinking.
Really, Juanita?
Well, I could go ahead and simply I have an ESP sense you are lying about your allegations against President Clinton.
But instead, I'd simply point out that the only time you've ever been put under oath about those allegations, you've denied they ever happened. And you haven't bothered in the 20+ years since to go under oath again to claim otherwise.

Although you know who did have the courage to go under oath, Juanita? Christine Blasey Ford, who you have mocked over and over and over again on your Twitter account, all for the simple fact that the man she was accusing was a conservative:

of Roe v Wade). When Flip Benham of Operation Rescue paid more attention to and showed more concern about her than feminists and liberals (in her mind), she joined him on the Dark Side. She renounced abortion including her landmark USSC case and became a born again Christian.
