Hillary Clinton To Victims Of Inappropriate Handsiness By Powerful Men: “Get Over It”

Filed under: General — Dana @ 1:17 pm



[guest post by Dana]

Just days after he launched his new radio show on SirusXM, a military veteran has become the ninth woman to to accuse Al Franken of groping her in 2006:

“I was just out of college in my first job, working for U.S. senator Patty Murray,” she told New York. Franken, then exploring a run for the Senate, was the guest speaker at Murray’s annual Golden Tennis Shoes Awards (named for a dismissive description of Murray, early in her political career, as a mom in tennis shoes).

The woman worked the photo line, and when it was her turn to be photographed with Franken, she said, “he puts his hand on my ass. He’s telling the photographer, ‘Take another one. I think I blinked. Take another one.’ And I’m just frozen. It’s so violating. And then he gives me a little squeeze on my buttock, and I am bright red. I don’t say anything at the time, but I felt deeply, deeply uncomfortable.”

So what, right? I mean, if the self-anointed champion of women tells women everywhere to get over it when a male Democrat is caught up in accusations of sexual harassment and inappropriate handsiness, who are they, or even you to make a big deal of it:

Hillary Clinton defended former Vice President Joe Biden against allegations that he has has acted inappropriately by head kissing and touching the backs of women. In a video interview with People Magazine to promote her upcoming book, the former first lady said that the former veep should be judged for the “totality” of his record and that he “is a thoroughly decent human being who has served our country honorably and well for decades.” She said that focusing on the allegations of inappropriate behavior was just a distraction. “We can pick apart anybody. I mean, that’s a great spectator sport,” she said. “But this man who’s there in the Oval Office right now poses a clear and present danger to the future of the United States. So get over it.”

Heh, Hillary would claim that her own husband served his country honorably for decades too, so what’s a little handsy sexual assault, eh??

Dear Hillary, your hypocritical underpants are showing. Yet again. While it’s a very unattractive look, it is a revealing reminder of the breadth of unabashed hypocrisy and dishonesty in which you trade.

[Ed. I don’t really care about Al Franken, other than he is a sleazebag who may once again be in a position of power as he has not ruled out running for public office. I don’t really care about Hillary Clinton, other than she may run again in 2020 and women may be stupid enough to buy her shtick.]

  1. Ugh. These people…

  2. WAIT WAIT WAIT
    Is it really plausible that Hillary might run in 2020? Holy crap. Hey democrats: there’s a reason Trump had a chance in 2016, and it’s the same reason he has a chance in 2020, and the same reason Hillary had a chance in 2016 (yes Trump fans, she actually won most of the votes too).

    Both sides are totally broken. The same reason Trump fans will consider any GOP vote to impeach Trump a betrayal is the same reason Hillary had a chance in 2016. We’re screwing eachother here guys. Time to laugh at partisanship and start using a little common sense.

  3. Dustin,

    Common sense is that tiny speck in your rear view mirror. Partisanship with absolute loyalty – no matter what – is what’s happening now.

  4. I have always assumed Hillary has never given up the hope of getting nominated and elected. Even if no one in the world wants her, she’s ready…

  5. From a Conservative perspective, wouldn’t it be a good thing if Trump is impeached and she runs? Boom, 4 years of Mike Pence for ya.

  6. I don’t care about Franken, either, except that he stole an election in after-election-day recount shenanigans. Say what you will about Trump, he didn’t steal his election after the day. His lawyers didn’t steal it. He didn’t steal it in recount. He didn’t steal it while people were looking at something else. He won the electoral vote fair and square while the entire media was watching. And he won the electoral COLLEGE vote despite the effort of Hollywood to perversify that formality.

  8. While Trump did not steal the election, other than in Hillary and her supporter’s eyes, Pouncer, it does not change one bit what Trump, the President of the United States, has done during his presidency, particularly with regard to saying in no uncertain terms that he wants a U.S. Congressman questioned on suspicion of having committed treason, and then suggesting he also be arrested. Again, as Patterico makes clear: this isn’t just any random politician, with no power over criminal justice doing this.

    Dana (05f22b)

  9. That wasn’t even the silliest thing Hillary said recently.

    “So of course [Trump]’s obsessed with me. And I believe that it’s a guilty conscience…”

    *gigglesnort*

    Although in fairness she did hasten to add:

    “…in so much as he has a conscience.”

    Ain’t no shame in The Donald’s game, sweetie.

  10. Franken was elected Senator in a state which elected a professional wrestler and member of the Mongols biker gang as its governor, and has the loon as its state bird and the largest Swedish population in the United States. Which is why I avoid going there. It’s a scary place.

  11. I was working on a project in Minneapolis when Franken won. On the night after Election Day there were Democrats crowing that they had stolen the election with the votes suddenly ‘found’ when it was too close to call.

    Don’t use that a pretext to avoid the locals though, most of the people were awesome (but don’t try to out-drink them).

    And Hillary v Warren is the Dem primary horror show I want.

  12. Dear Hillary, your hypocritical underpants are showing.

    Oops. Well, she can always donate those used undies and claim it as a tax deduction, like she and Bill did way back when.

    Perhaps some homeless guy can use them as a tent.

    norcal (eec1aa)

  13. I cannot believe she would ever want to jump back in. She lost to Donald Trump, Donald J Trump!!!

    Argh!! You lost, you’re old, tired, re-tired already, you’re rich now, enjoy your grandkids and don’t bother my brain again.

  14. It’s not only an ego thing. It has been the Clintons’ bread and butter since 2000. The anticipation that she would be President is what has been driving the book deals, the speech fees, and the “donations” to the Clinton Foundation.

    nk (dbc370)

  15. She is not going to run again, no one is asking for it.

    Nic (896fdf)

  16. Isnt there isla nublar they can send her to.

    Narciso (dceb8c)

  17. No, norcal, she’s probably Depends 24/7 these days, an “unused” would insulate a Tiny House, though.

    urbanleftbehind (197871)

  18. Yes! An upgrade from tent to tiny house!

    norcal (eec1aa)

  19. nk has a point.

    Hillary makes a lot of money and can feed her relevance by running. I guess I get that but it should be really embarrassing to her that she lost to the dumbest loser in recent memory. I mean it’s truly pathetic. It’s really funny actually.

    Dustin (2fdf65)

  20. Dustin,

    Except she believes he stole the election from her:

    “No, it doesn’t kill me because he knows he’s an illegitimate president,” she said. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories – he knows that – there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did.”

    […]

    Ms Clinton compared her election loss to “applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado. And so I know that he knows that this wasn’t on the level. I don’t know that we’ll ever know what happened.”

    Dana (05f22b)

  21. Trump humpers to victims of ethically dubious Trump business dealings: Get over it

    Gryph (08c844)

  22. Clinton is so arrogant and self-entitled that she has no inkling she lost because she was so arrogant and self entitled.

    When forced to choose between two authoritarian narcissists, millions of Americans went, “feh!”

    Kishnevi (f0c334)

  23. I could point out her shenanigans at getting the nomination, not to mention Donna Brazille’s and CNN’s shenanigans on her behalf during the debates, but what difference does it make? Her Presidential hopes are dead! What difference at this point does it make?

    nk (dbc370)

  24. nk’s right. Hillary cheated her way into the nomination. I grant Trump’s presidency will have an asterisk next to it in the history books because there was some kind of manipulation, but I do think if the actual votes were all counted with 100% accuracy he probably would still have won the EC.

    Dustin (6d7686)

  25. I grant Trump’s presidency will have an asterisk next to it in the history books because there was some kind of manipulation, but I do think if the actual votes were all counted with 100% accuracy he probably would still have won the EC.

    But Trump’s asterisk is not primarily due to any alleged tampering with vote totals, it’s due to the Russian covert operations aimed at influencing votes in his favor and suppressing Clinton’s votes (including the DNC hack and coordinated release of that information to Wikileaks by Russian intelligence).

    Trump’s total margin of victory in MI, PA and WI was 77,744 votes out of 13,940,912 cast in those states (0.55%). So flipping 1 vote out of every ~360 cast in those states, or adding 1 vote to every ~180 cast would have been sufficient to change the national outcome.

    It doesn’t seem impossible, but there’s obviously no way to be certain what effect the Russian attacks had.
