WASHINGTON ― In 1999, Juanita Broaddrick said then-President Bill Clintonhad raped her 20 years earlier. She received skeptical media attention at that time, and several polls found that the American public didn’t believe her.
Now, with the Me Too movement bringing greater scrutiny to bad men in politics, media and business ― and even ending their careers ― journalists have revisited Broaddrick’s story and found it more credible. Even Democratic voters now say they believe the sexual assault or harassment allegations against Clinton. For that, Broaddrick is glad.
“It’s so much better now,” she told HuffPost, saying she particularly liked a 2017 New York Times op-ed by Michelle Goldberg. “I have so many that are in the middle and on the left that understand I am telling the truth.”
