Limbaugh Calls Hillary’s Sexual Assault Message Hypocritical, Citing Bill Scandals

Hillary Clinton put out a video yesterday with a message to victims of sexual assault saying, “Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have a right to be heard, and you have a right to be believed. We’re with you.”

And while some have taken serious issue with that message, Rush Limbaugh today called the video “so brazen” and a possible “Clinton trap.” Why? Because of her husband’s past sex scandals.

“Anyone heard of Monica Lewinsky?” he asked. “Her life was pretty much destroyed by Bill Clinton, and all the other women.”

He suspected the video’s a “trap” because it might “sucker someone into attacking her on Clinton’s womanizing or something.”

After playing audio of Juanita Broaddrick on TV in 1999 describing what she claims the former president did, Limbaugh said those allegations have mainly been “ignored” and “out there while Hillary is claiming to stand up for exactly this kind of woman.”
