OOPS: Hillary scrubs sexual assault pledge after allegations against Bill resurface.
The Clinton campaign has removed a pledge from its website stating that all survivors of sexual assault “have the right to be believed.”
On a page dedicated to “Campus sexual assault” on HillaryClinton.com, this passage from the Democratic presidential candidate used to be prominently featured last year: “I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault: Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed, and we’re with you.”
But by February of this year, those lines had been deleted, according to BuzzFeed News.
The online website says the scrubbing came after the election-cycle reemergence of Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978 when he was lieutenant governor of Arkansas.
