Juanita Broaddrick rejects MSNBC claim that Clinton rape story was 'discredited'

Juanita Broaddrick rejects MSNBC claim that Clinton rape story was 'discredited' | Washington Examiner:
A woman who claims Bill Clinton raped her is furious that MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell referred to the charge as "discredited."
"I look forward to [Andrea's] explanation exactly how I was discredited.
Should be interesting," former Arkansas nursing home administrator Juanita Broaddrick said Thursday on Twitter.
"[Andrea] Mitchell is Clinton lapdog, angry I exposed her bias to Clinton's."
Broaddrick maintains Clinton raped her in a hotel room in 1978.
Her story didn't surface until the final weeks of the 1992 presidential election, where the country's leading newsrooms, including the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, ignored it.
Later, when the Monica Lewinsky affair hit the White House in 1998, Broaddrick's story resurfaced. Though she signed a sworn affidavit that year denying her claim against Clinton, she later denied the denial.
Broaddrick then restated her story in an NBC News interview taped on Jan. 20, 1999, one day after the president was impeached over the Lewinsky scandal.
NBC held onto the interview for 35 days, and aired it shortly after Clinton was acquitted.
Broaddrick has since maintained she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton.
On Jan. 6, 2016, months after Hillary Clinton launched her presidential campaign, the alleged rape victim repeated her charge against the former president.
"I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73," she said on social media.
"It never goes away."
