Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused former President Bill Clinton of rape in 1999, took to Twitter Wednesday to resurface allegations against both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Broaddrick confirmed to multiple journalists that the Twitter account is hers.

Broaddrick allegation that Bill Clinton raped her emerged at the time of congressional impeachment proceedings over his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Broaddrick has also said that Hillary Clinton approached her some time after the alleged assault and attempted to thank her for her support in what Broaddrick took as appreciation for her silence about the attack.

Through his lawyers, Clinton has repeatedly denied the allegations.

Broaddrick’s tweet comes a month before the Iowa caucus, and days after Bill has gone on the 2016 trail to stump for his wife’s presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton was loudly heckled at a Sunday campaign event about Broaddrick.

  1. Wow. They better impeach Bill immediately…oh wait, they tried that once before, didn’t they? I forget. How’d that turn out again? I think it was something like this wasn’t it?

  2. If not for that affidavit where she swore under oath it never happened and the fact that she was having an affair at the time, I might be more inclined to take this seriously. Just too much stink on this claim to do more than shrug the shrug of unknowability.

  3. I am now 73…it never goes away.

    And neither does she. Especially, when the time is, uh, right

  4. Or maybe the GOP looked like this:

    They certainly did after they grilled Hillary.

    I would love to see her bank account to see if the GOP accidentally put any money in it.
