Hillary Clinton s Long History of Targeting Women Washington Free Beacon
Hillary Clintonâs expected presidential campaign is being built around womenâs issues, but women who have gotten in the way of her familyâs political goals in the past have often been subjected to her wrath.
As Clinton has appeared at multiple events for women over the past several weeks, her record as an advocate for women has come under increased scrutiny.
Women who have accused her husband, former President Bill Clinton, of sexual misconduct have come in for special criticism from the former first lady.
One victim of Clintonâs wrath was Monica Lewinsky, whom Clinton called a ânarcissistic loony toonâ in private conversations with close friend Diane Blair.
Lewinsky was not the only woman who had a sexual relationship with Bill targeted by Hillary: she called Gennifer Flowers âtrailer trash.â
Flowers alleged in a 2000 lawsuit that Clinton created and ran a âwar roomâ during the 1992 campaign to âsmear, defame, and harmâ adversaries such as herself.
Prior to the 1992 election, Clinton worked to get sworn statements from all the women Bill was rumored to have slept with who said the rumors were false. She interviewed some of the women herself, according to Carl Bernsteinâs A Woman in Charge.
Kathleen Willey, who claimed Bill Clinton sexually harassed her during his first term as president, said Hillary Clinton made it a point to launch a âterror campaignâ against her and all other women.
âShe is the war on women, as far as Iâm concerned, because with every woman that sheâs found out aboutâand she made it a point to find out who every woman had been thatâs crossed his path over the yearsâsheâs orchestrated a terror campaign against every one of these women, including me,â said Willey.
One of those women was Juanita Broaddrick, who says Hillary Clinton threatened her in person two weeks after she claimed Bill Clinton raped her.
Hillaryâs aggressive attitude was not limited to those who accused her husband of sexual misconduct: other men received the benefit of the doubt from Hillary when she needed their support politically. When former Sen. Bob Packwood was accused of sexual harassment, Clinton told her friend Blair that she was âtired of all those whiney women,â and that she needed Packwood on health care.
Hillary has also suggested that Billâs problems with women are the fault of a woman: his mother.
Clinton attempted to explain to Lucinda Franks that Billâs infidelity is rooted in his abused childhood,stating during an interview that he was abused and that âwhen a mother does what she does, it affects you forever.â
Clintonâs remarks concerning her husbandâs tough childhood came in response to a question about how âBillâs sexual addiction began.â
âI am not going into it, but Iâll say that when this happens in children, it scars you,â said Clinton. âYou keep looking in all the wrong places for the parent who abused you.â
