WAPo: Enabler or family defender? How Hillary Clinton responded to husband’s accusers

WAPost: Hillary Clinton has wrestled with allegations surrounding her husband’s infidelities for much of their 40-year marriage, including a sexual harassment lawsuit, a grand jury investigation and an impeachment vote centered on his untruthfulness about a relationship with a White House intern.

Now, her Republican opponent Donald Trump and his surrogates have signaled that he may bring up the subject in the next presidential debate, treacherous territory, given his own infidelities and treatment of women.

Clinton’s friends say they have seen her deal with Bill Clinton’s conduct before, bristling at threats and countering them with steely determination. Her reaction, said longtime Arkansas friend Jim Blair, is to face accusers and respond thusly: “These people are not going to run over us.”

Her detractors, though, say that Clinton has unfairly lashed out over the years at the women involved in her husband’s indiscretions. Her responses­ have forced her to walk a fine line during the campaign on sexual assault issues, even as she builds strong political support among female voters.
Trump and his backers have kept the subject alive with taunting social-media messages, and this week, Trump congratulated himself for taking the high road Monday in the first debate by not saying something “extremely rough” about the Clinton family. He added that he might not show the same restraint at the next public forum on Oct. 9.

  1. Leave it to the WaPo to paint Hitllary as the victim, not the enabler or accusatory attorney. Remember her bragging about getting the 41 year old rapist off with time served after destroying that 12 yr old girl. Yeah the Clinton bitch doesn’t give a rats ass about anyone but her own bacon. Every time she tries to gather the robes of righteous indignation around her FAT ASS it is moth-eaten and full of holes for all to see. May that bitch suffer worse than any lives she has destroyed in her years of crime.

  2. Sometimes I get the impression that Hillary’s sense of overentitlement–which would of course include the idea that she deeply “deserves” to be president–springs wholly from the abuse she has tolerated at Bill’s hands over more than four decades.

    This is beyond illogical. Why should the country suffer because its former first lady is Mary Jo Buttafuoco with a law degree? And even Mary Jo kicked Joey to the curb after a certain amount of time.

    She is a pitiful, old, has-been hag.

  3. The point most dopey women and the filthy media demons ignore is that Hitlery is NOT the victim, the assault victims are.

    It doesn’t matter if Hitlery forgives Bill, THE ASSAULT AND RAPE VICTIMS DONT.

    Hitlery is not a victim in these cases, she is a criminal. She should have been long ago charged with Obstructing of Justice, Witness Tampering, Harassment, by th local prosecutors in all these numerous cases.

    I don’t give a flying fuck with “Well, if Hitlery forgave him then who are we to say anything ?? Let’s just move on !!!” Fuck that.

    I don’t want Trump wasting his time on it. I want him smashing his message home. The wall, jobs, Muslim filth, and economy. But his surrogates should be destroying this old criminal whore and Syphillis Bill until the media criminals are in tears.

  4. That’s like an Illegal Immigrant who arrived in 1990 claiming that citizenship for 26 years.

    Furthermore, I deplore the churches that allowed Bubba and Hitlery to make Sunday morning photo appearances (clutching their Bibles, no less)

  5. Did anyone hear Bill speak today at Perez’s funeral? I swear he sounded like death! You could barely hear his voice, he’s a feeble old man. I don’t get what’s so special about Bill that Hillary must defend him at every turn. That in itself IMHO shows a lack of judgement. Please God, don’t make me be embarrassed for another 8 years. I just can’t take it!

  6. BRAIN DERANGED media in Hillies colostomy bag will print and say anything they want, regardless if it makes them demented. She was the preacher of “it takes a village of idiots to raise another village idiot.”
