Juanita Broaddrick Criticizes Harris for Enlisting Clinton Despite Assault Allegations

 October 15, 2024

The decision by Kamala Harris's campaign to enlist former President Bill Clinton as a political surrogate has drawn harsh criticism from Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick.

Broaddrick, who has long accused Clinton of sexual assault and abuse, condemned the Harris campaign's move as inconsistent with Harris's public stance on women’s rights and empowerment, as Breitbart reports.

The frequent critic of Democratic Party candidates expressed her outrage, calling Clinton a “prolific sexual abuser” and criticizing the silence of the #MeToo movement regarding his return to national politics.

Clinton has been brought back by Harris’s team to energize rural voters and bolster her presence in critical battleground states, including Georgia and North Carolina. According to Harris spokesperson Ian Sams, Clinton's return is a strategic effort to tap into his political experience and reputation as the “comeback kid,” hoping to reach areas where Harris's campaign has struggled to gain traction.

Broaddrick Denounces Clinton's Role in the Harris Campaign

Broaddrick did not hold back in her assessment of Clinton's re-entry into the political arena, calling it “unbelievable” that the Harris campaign would bring him on board despite his troubled past. “It’s absolutely unbelievable that they would drag him back out again,” Broaddrick said, expressing frustration over the Democratic Party's decision to rely on Clinton for mobilizing voters.

The move to involve Clinton has reportedly been met with enthusiasm by some Democratic strategists, including James Carville, who believes Clinton's political acumen could help in key areas. Clinton, aware that his past scandals might be highlighted by opponents, is prepared to refocus attention on the stakes of the upcoming election, particularly in light of Donald Trump's continued influence on his base. However, Broaddrick believes Clinton’s presence could backfire.

Accuser Questions #MeToo Movement’s Silence

Broaddrick has been particularly vocal in questioning the absence of criticism from the #MeToo movement in response to Clinton’s involvement in the campaign. “Where is the #MeToo movement now? Does it even exist anymore?” she asked, noting the movement’s lack of condemnation of Clinton’s political return.

Her criticism extended beyond Clinton. She suggested that his reintroduction into the campaign could be an attempt to divert attention from recent allegations against Vice President Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff. “They’re bringing in someone worse -- Bill Clinton -- to make Doug [Emhoff] look like an angel,” Broaddrick speculated, hinting at a possible political strategy behind the decision.

Media Alleged to Protect Powerful Democrats

In her remarks, Broaddrick also criticized what she sees as a pattern of media protection for powerful Democrats like Clinton and Emhoff. “I’ve been there,” she said, referring to her own experiences with media coverage during the height of her accusations against Clinton. She claimed that the media would likely attack Harris's accusers and remain silent on the broader issue of misconduct within Democratic ranks.

“The media will never investigate the allegations,” Broaddrick stated. She added that the Democratic Party's focus on maintaining power has led to a willingness to ignore the serious accusations made against some of its most prominent figures.

Broaddrick Criticizes Harris for 2021 Panel Appearance

Broaddrick has long been critical of Harris’s decision to participate in a 2021 women’s empowerment panel with Bill Clinton. She called the event “a slap in the face to sexual assault victims,” underscoring what she views as hypocrisy in Harris’s advocacy for women’s rights while associating with someone accused of sexual misconduct.

Harris’s campaign has not directly responded to Broaddrick’s comments, though political analysts have suggested that Clinton’s involvement is aimed at reinforcing Harris’s electoral prospects, particularly in rural areas where she faces significant challenges.

Broaddrick Warns of Election Consequences

Beyond her criticisms of Clinton, Broaddrick issued a stark warning to voters about the potential consequences of the 2024 election. She argued that a loss for Donald Trump would mark the end of “credible elections” in the U.S., painting a dire picture of the country’s political future if Harris and the Democrats were to emerge victorious.

“They are so fake, and they have such a hatred for Donald Trump,” Broaddrick claimed, accusing the Democratic Party of using any means necessary to ensure Harris's success. She expressed concern that voters might forget Clinton’s past but urged them to remember the controversies surrounding him as they head to the polls.

Conclusion: Broaddrick’s Repeated Criticism of Clinton’s Role

Juanita Broaddrick’s outspoken criticism of the Harris campaign’s decision to bring Bill Clinton back into the political spotlight highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the former president’s past.

Her remarks have focused not only on Clinton but also on the broader issue of how the Democratic Party handles allegations of misconduct against its members.

As the 2024 election approaches, Broaddrick has urged voters to remember Clinton’s past and questioned the silence of movements like #MeToo in addressing these concerns.

Her comments reflect deeper concerns about the integrity of the election and the media’s role in shaping public perception.
