Man Wearing Bill Clinton ‘Rape’ Shirt Appears Behind Hillary During Rally
A man attending a rally for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Detroit on Monday appeared behind her wearing a T-shirt with an image of former President Bill Clinton along with the word “Rape.”
Once the man was spotted, he was escorted from the rally by security officers, falling down the stairs right behind Clinton. Some observers believed he had been pushed.

When she realized what was going on, Clinton said, “You know, I do hope somebody follows that gentleman out and stages an intervention. He clearly has not been following this election very closely.”
The Bill Clinton “Rape” image, found on T-shirts and posters, and similar words and images have been seen at various venues recently.
A man wearing a shirt bearing the slogan attended a recent campaign appearance by Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine. The man interrupted Kaine’s speech by shouting “Bill Clinton is a rapist” several times.
A poster warning about “rapist” Bill Clinton was seen outside the campus of Washington University in St. Louis before the second presidential debate. The poster showed Clinton holding a small sign bearing the names of several women he has been accused of sexually assaulting.
On Wednesday, Bill Clinton was in Canton, Ohio, giving a speech when a woman carrying a T-shirt that read “BILL CLINTON A RAPIST” walked past the members of the press. As she passed them she remarked, “Bill Clinton is a rapist.”
After the woman was removed by security, Clinton said, “I love it when people come to my rallies.”
Texas talk show host Alex Jones recently offered up to $5,000 to any listener successful in interrupting a live television broadcast by showing up in one of the T-shirts and shouting, “Bill Clinton is a rapist.”
A young man succeeded when he interrupted a segment of Fox and Friends.
Security arrived to extract the man from the area, but he was able to briefly get free. The young man could be heard saying, “Get your hands off me,” as security was able to subdue him.
Since Friday’s leak of a tape revealing Republican nominee Donald Trump made vulgar remarks about a married woman in 2005, he has increased the spotlight on Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual misconduct.
Before the presidential debate Sunday, he posted a video in which he was surrounded by women — Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broddrick — who have accused Clinton of rape or inappropriate behavior. Kathy Shelton, a rape victim whose alleged attacker was represented by a young Hillary Clinton, was also in attendance.
Trump later said during the debate, “If you look at Bill Clinton, far worse. Mine are words, and his was action. His was what he’s done to women. There’s never been anybody in the history 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.” (For more from the author of “Man Wearing Bill Clinton ‘Rape’ Shirt Appears Behind Hillary During Rally” please click HERE)
