WASHINGTON — A woman at a Hillary Clinton campaign event in New Hampshire on Thursday dared to ask the Democratic presidential candidate if she believed the charges made by women who say her husband raped or harassed them.
“You say that all rape victims should be believed,” the audience member said at the Manchester event, which was focused on opportunities for women.
"But would you say that about Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and/or Paula Jones — should we believe them as well?”
All three women claim Bill Clinton raped or sexually harassed them decades ago.
Hillary Clinton responded by defending her husband.
“Well, I would say that everybody should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence,” she said, before moving on.
The audience applauded the former secretary of state.
Throughout her campaign, Clinton has condemned sexual assault and championed victims’ rights.
She spoke out recently following the airing of a CNN documentary called “The Hunting Ground” on students on college campuses who said they were raped but weren’t taken seriously by administrators.
“Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported,” she tweeted.
But that statement prompted plenty of Twitter responses asking about the women who have accused President Bill Clinton of rape, but didn’t get justice.
