Katie Baker, Juanita Broaddrick & "Believe Women [unless it's politically inconvenient]"




The Katie Halper Show show

Summary: INTERVIEW WITH BROADDRICK https://soundcloud.com/katie-halper/juanita-broaddrick-on-being-raped-by-bill-clinton-thrown-under-the-bus On this episode of The Katie Halper Show, Katie Halper and Gabe Pacheco talk to Katie Baker, who wrote the Buzzfeed profile on Juanita Broaddrick. In 1999, Broaddrick accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 in her hotel room in Little Rock Arkansas. Not surprisingly, the mainstream-liberal feminist media responded with a deafening silence, which was shattered by Wonkette's Rebecca Schoenkopf. Schoenkopf, who is a Hillary Clinton supporter, was the only one not on the right wing to respond to the story and wound up issuing a bit of a rape apology. The same week that the Buzzfeed story came out, feminists were tweeting "believe women." But it wasn't in reference to Broaddrick. It was in reference to the women who had accused a New York comedian of raping them. Gabe talks about the rape controversy rocking the NYC comedy scene, Kurt Metzger and Amy Schumer.
