Donald Trump released a new Instagram video on Monday featuring audio from interviews with women who’ve accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault. The accompanying text asks if Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton is “really protecting women.”

As a photo of Bill Clinton comes into focus against a black-and-white photo of the White House, a voice can be heard saying “I was very nervous.”

That voice belongs to former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, explaining her concern about divulging her affair with the President to a grand jury.

The next voice says “No woman should be subjected to it. It was an assault.” That’s Kathleen Wiley, a former White House volunteer who alleged that Clinton groped her in the hallway of the White House in 1993, speaking with Fox News’ Sean Hannity in 2007.

The last bit of audio is taken from an infamous 1999 NBC Dateline interview with Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home administrator who accused Clinton of raping her in 1978. A tearful Broaddrick can be heard saying that he “started to bite my top lip and I tried to pull away from him.”

Clinton denied the assault on Willey in a 1998 deposition and has also denied Broaddrick’s rape allegation, which surfaced at the time of congressional impeachment proceedings over his affair with Lewinsky.

Trump’s video clip ends with a shot of Hillary and Bill Clinton together. While audio of Hillary Clinton laughing plays, the words “Here we go again” appear on the screen.

It’s the second time in two weeks that Trump has brought up past sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton. He has called Hillary Clinton a “nasty, mean enabler” of her husband’s alleged affairs.

Is Hillary really protecting women?

    This is gonna be so much fun. Philandering Trump dredging up old stuff that his Republican predecessors used that flopped. Trump’s wife,ex-wives and ex-lovers are fair game if he wants to go that route.

  2. Truth has gotten so unimportant in this election cycle. Why not just say Hillary is dead, and a man, and shoots laser beams out of her eyes. Who cares?

  3. And this cannot be stressed enough:

    Broaddrick = Only sworn “testimony” is an affidavit (i.e., under penalties and pains of perjury) signed by her and filed in the Paula Jones case stating that Clinton did not rape her.

    Trump = Only sworn testimony is Ivanna’s deposition testimony under oath DESCRIBING IN DETAIL Trump’s violent rage-rape of her after his hair helmet surgery.

    MSM = Desperately protecting the plutocracy and its horse race narrative.

  4. I bet this is also about trying to make Bill Clinton lose his cool.
    Hillary won’t be fazed, no matter what you throw at her.

  5. This may help Trump. To paraphrase a claim he so audaciously made, Trump could rape a woman in broad daylight in the middle of 5th Avenue and his poll numbers would hold steady or rise. Seriously. To the wingnut crowd it would be a testament to his manhood and virilty and “take charge” approach to things. Or something.
