These 4 Women Were the Real Debate Winners and the Clintons Will Hate It
Yes, Donald Trump was significantly better in tonight’s debate than the first debate. Yes, he probably won on points. It won’t matter much for his campaign. But tonight’s real winners were the women impacted by Bill and Hillary’s quest for power, who finally got the media to pay attention to them, if only for a few minutes.
Many young people voting today do not know the stories of the sexual assault victims that Bill and Hillary Clinton have allegedly left in their wake. The media has done a fantastic job — for the Clintons — of whitewashing Bill’s extracurricular activities as “consensual.” There are many women who say that is not the case. Some have even credibly accused Bill Clinton of raping them, and Hillary Clinton of covering it up.
Tonight Trump gave those women a voice. Try as they may, the media could ignore it no longer — if only for a brief moment in time.
Before the debate, four of the Clintons’ alleged victims, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Shelton, joined Trump for a press conference.
Then, on the debate stage, Trump mentioned some of those women and what the Clintons did to them. Here is the transcript of those remarks, as compiled in real-time by Vox.
That was locker room talk. I’m not proud of it. I am a person who has great respect for people, for my family, for the people of this country. And certainly I’m not proud of it, but that was something that happened. If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse, mine are words, his was action. This is what he has done to women. There’s never been anybody in the history of politics in this nation that’s been so abusive to women, so you can say any way you want to say it, but Bill Clinton was abusive to women.
Hillary Clinton attacked those same women and attacked them viciously. Four of them are here tonight. One of the women, who is a wonderful woman, at 12 years-old, was raped at 12. Her client she represented got him off and she’s seen laughing at the girl who was raped. She is here with us tonight, so, don’t tell me about words. And absolutely, I apologize for those words. But it is things that people say, but what President Clinton did, he was impeached, lost his license to practice law. He had to pay an $850,000 fine. To one of the women. Paula Jones, who’s also here tonight.
And I will tell you that when Hillary brings up a point like that and talks about words that I said 11 years ago, I think it’s disgraceful and I think she should be ashamed of herself, if you want to know the truth.
With those women in the audience, Hillary Clinton called them liars in her next breath.
First, let me say so much of what he just said is not right, but he gets to run his campaign any way he chooses. He gets to decide what he gets to talk about.
Her first instinct, as it has always been, was to denigrate the women who dare speak out against her and her husband. This time to their faces.
But this time, the media had to cover it, because it was brought up in the debate. The talking heads got back to calling it a non-issue, but for a few brief moments these women got their day in the court of public opinion. For that reason, they were the true winners tonight.
