OPINION:
Chelsea Handler, leftist activist-slash-comedian, issued an apology to Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who accused Bill Clinton years ago of rape, and said — prepare to gasp — “I believe you.”
The left’s long line of defense for all-things-Clinton is finally crumbling.
Here’s how the story broke.
Handler first wrote about Roy Moore, the Alabama Senate candidate who’s facing a slew of sexually-tied scandalous accusations right now.
“Imagine being molested by an older man,” Handler tweeted. “Then that man denies ever doing it and then goes on and gets elected to United State [S]enate. What kind of message does that send to young girls everywhere? And men to all the men who abuse women?”
It wasn’t long before the hypocrisy angle was highlighted — by Broaddrick herself.
Broaddrick tweeted, until her @atensnut handle: “Yeahm @chelseahandler I can imagine. I was raped by the Arkansas AG who then becomes Governor & President and NBC held my interview explaining the rape until after his impeachment hearing. But I’m sure you don’t want to go there.”
It took a few days, but Handler responded.
And this is what she wrote, again on Twitter, on Wednesday evening: “I’m sorry I’m just seeing this @atensnut. You are right and I apologize to you for not knowing your story. Democrats along with Republicans and the rest of the world’s political parties all need to do better and respect the firsthand accounts of victims. I believe you.”
That sound you just heard?
Why, that’s the sound of a chink of Clinton armor dropping to the ground.
