Back in September, Hillary Clinton sent the following message to sexual assault survivors:

Immediately following the release of this 17 second message, many took to social media to lambast Hillary considering her husband’s history with sexual assault accusations.
For all those who were upset that Hillary was taking this position, a hero stepped up at a New Hampshire campaign stop on Dec. 3, and bravely asked,
“You said that all rape victims should be believed, but would you say that about Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and/or Paula Jones?”
As you may know, Jones and Willey both accused Bill of sexual assault, while Broaddrick accused him of rape.
In response Hillary stated,
“Well, I would say that everybody should be believed at first, until they are disbelieved based on evidence.”
Watch the exchange below and look at Hillary’s face after her response (at the 19 second mark):

Did you see her smile at the end? Hillary was completely prepared for someone to ask her this question and it looks like she felt that she landed it.
Despite her smile, she did look quite uncomfortable; I mean what person wouldn’t be when questioned about your spouse’s sexual assault accusers? I can only imagine that Hillary immediately called Bill and said something like, “Fuck you Bill! They’re bringing up your shit. Again! You fucking asshole!”
All joking aside, Hillary is a pro at this. With the Clintons’ involvement in politics since the 1970s, it comes as no surprise that Hillary is prepared for these type of questions. In addition, Hillary has been dealing with Bill’s infidelity and accusations of sexual assault for longer than most of us probably know. She unfortunately knows his solicitous history is going to come up again and again.
As always, Hillary just puts a smile on her face as best as she can and tries to move forward. Bill’s accusers, and those supporting them, will not be moving on, especially Willey. Willey has vowed to haunt Hillary throughout her presidential run.
