If you're still even slightly inclined to defend Bill Clinton, or you think he's better than Kavanaugh, read all of this, and get back to me.
I’m an advocate for the poor and working class. This means I’m just as passionately anti-racist. First, because underclass women of color are even more vulnerable to oppression and abuse. Second, because race, sex, and class oppression are inextricable clubs used by the ruling class to maintain control of the U.S. system.
Astute friends have reasonably asked me why I care about the Kavanaugh nomination. It can certainly be regarded as a in-fight within the privileged class. I’ve been following the Kavanaugh appointment closely for two primary reasons. One, I can’t resist the temptation to help take down a rich, white man with power. Second, because it provides such a perfect launching pad to address class.
It has given me a platform to warn women who don’t have privilege. If you are one of these women, you need to know that voting for Democrats won’t help you. It may help women of privilege, but that benefit won’t trickle down to you.
More than a few of those privileged women whom you march with today, will join the hands of others who will throw you under the bus if you ever need their help. If, they don’t actively gaslight and slander you, they will wring their hands whimpering, “I just don’t know,” and announcing they are “staying out of the controversy.”
I could give you an endless list of examples, but, for now, I’m only going to give you one.
William Jefferson Clinton
William Jefferson Clinton is a vicious predator. Yet he remains, a darling of the Democratic Party and liberals everywhere. He’s paid top dollar for speeches and is the most sought-after speaker for Democratic Party fundraisers.
Liberals rush to defend Clinton stating his indiscretions were “consensual.” They set aside the inherent harassment of someone having sex with a subordinate, how young and vulnerable she would be to such a powerful man. Indeed, many of them have spent the past three decades making that young woman the punchline of dirty jokes.
They don’t just dismiss Clinton’s lies about his long-time affair with Gennifer Flowers. They also dismiss Clinton’s efforts to defame and gaslight Ms. Flowers for telling the truth. He slandered her in a now-famous interview on national television with Hillary Rodham Clinton indignantly proclaiming, “I’m not some Tammy Wynette standing by her man.”
In turns out H.R. Clinton was doing just that, when the couple later conceded they knew at the time Flowers was telling the truth.
If those were W.J. Clinton’s only indiscretions or even if all his philandering was consensual, it would be disgusting, but they’re not.
W.J. Clinton has a long history of sexual assault allegations, and his wife knows it. Moreover,
Moveon.org knew it when they formed to encourage us to “move on” after Clinton’s impeachment.
While it’s not exhaustive, here is a chronological list of some of W.J. Clinton’s alleged sexual assaults.
Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton sexually assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford where the future President was a student in 1969. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue the case.
In an interview with Capitol Hill Blue, the retired State Department employee said he believed the story Miss Wellstone, the young English woman who said Clinton raped her in 1969.
''There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma,'' he said. ''But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it.”
Ms. Wellstone, then married, confirmed the incident when contacted by journalists in the 1990s, but refused to discuss the matter further. She said she would not go public with further details of the attack.
In his book, Unlimited Access, former FBI agent Gary Aldrich reported that Clinton left Oxford University for a "European Tour" in 1969 and was told by University officials that he was no longer welcome there. Aldrich said Clinton's academic record at Oxford was lackluster. Clinton later accepted a scholarship for Yale Law School and did not complete his studies at Oxford.
In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by journalists confirmed the incident. The woman, also tracked down by journalists, confirmed the incident, but declined to discuss it further and would not give permission to use her name. The State Department official who investigated the incident said Clinton's interests appeared to be drinking, drugs and sex, not studies.
In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then law school instructor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. She complained to her faculty advisor who confronted Clinton, but Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him. The student left the school shortly after the incident. Interviewed at her home in Texas, the former student confirmed the incident, but declined to go on the record with her account. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews and said there were other reports of Clinton attempting to force himself on female students.
Juanita Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's gubernatorial campaign, said he raped her in 1978. Mrs. Broaddrick suffered a bruised and torn lip, which she said she suffered when Clinton bit her during the rape.
From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor were aware of at least seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was "who's next?". One former state trooper said other troopers would often escort women to the governor's hotel room after political events, often more than one an evening.
Carolyn Moffet, a legal secretary in Little Rock in 1979, said she met then-governor Clinton at a political fundraiser and shortly thereafter received an invitation to meet the governor in his hotel room. "I was escorted there by a state trooper. When I went in, he was sitting on a couch, wearing only an undershirt. He pointed at his penis and told me to suck it. I told him I didn't even do that for my boyfriend and he got mad, grabbed my head and shoved it into his lap. I pulled away from him and ran out of the room."
Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen (from her first marriage), told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. Close friends of Ward, however, say she still maintains privately that Clinton forced himself on her.
Paula Jones Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with an $850,000 cash payment.
Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington. Reached at her home by journalists during the 1990s, the former Miss James said she later learned that other women suffered the same fate at Clinton's hands when he was in Washington during his Presidential run.
Christy Zercher, a flight attendant on Clinton's leased campaign plane in 1992, says Presidential candidate Clinton exposed himself to her, grabbed her breasts and made explicit remarks about oral sex. A video shot on board the plane by ABC News shows an obviously inebriated Clinton with his hand between another young flight attendant's legs. Zercher said later in an interview that White House attorney Bruce Lindsey tried to pressure her into not going public about the assault.
Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breasts and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.
These women didn’t matter to the Democratic Party establishment, and neither do you if you don’t have privileged status. Oh, sure the Democrats will sacrifice a few to make themselves look good, but not with also satisfying their own self-interests, e.g. Al Franken and John Conyers, leftier members they’re always trying to purge. Do you really believe that two liberal Democrats are the only members of Congress who engage in sexual harassment?
However, if you go up against one of their own, they’ll sell you down the river faster than you can sign the complaint.
You also don’t matter to
Moveon.org. Moveon is nothing more than a get-out-the vote arm of the Democratic Party. By, the way, when they were asked about the allegations listed above (many more than have accused Kavanaugh), they said, “Well, we don’t find these women believable, and it was a long time ago.” Sound familiar?
Vote how you want. Do what you want. But be careful, and don’t get your hopes up. You have been warned.
