AN OPEN LETTER TO HILLARY CLINTON
BY JUANITA BROADDRICK
'DO YOU REMEMBER?'
SUNDAY OCT 15, 2000
DRUDGE REPORT EXCLUSIVE
As I watched Rick Lazio's interview on Fox News this morning, I
felt compelled to write this open letter to you, Mrs. Clinton. Brit Hume asked Mr. Lazio's
views regarding you as a person and how he perceived you as a candidate. Rick Lazio did
not answer the question, but I know that I can. You know it, too.
I have no doubt that you are the same conniving, self-serving person you were twenty-two
years ago when I had the misfortune to meet you. When I see you on television, campaigning
for the New York senate race, I can see the same hypocrisy in your face that you displayed
to me one evening in 1978. You have not changed.
I remember it as though it was yesterday. I only wish that it were yesterday and maybe
there would still be time to do something about what your husband, Bill Clinton, did to
me. There was a political rally for Mr. Clinton's bid for governor of Arkansas. I had
obligated myself to be at this rally prior to my being assaulted by your husband in April,
1978. I had made up my mind to make an appearance and then leave as soon as the two of you
arrived. This was a big mistake, but I was still in a state of shock and denial. You had
questioned the gentleman who drove you and Mr. Clinton from the airport. You asked him
about me and if I would be at the gathering. Do you remember? You told the driver,
"Bill has talked so much about Juanita", and that you were so anxious to meet
me. Well, you wasted no time. As soon as you entered the room, you came directly to me and
grabbed my hand. Do you remember how you thanked me, saying "we want to thank you for
everything that you do for Bill". At that point, I was pretty shaken and started to
walk off. Remember how you kept a tight grip on my hand and drew closer to me? You
repeated your statement, but this time with a coldness and look that I have seen many
times on television in the last eight years. You said, "Everything you do for
Bill". You then released your grip and I said nothing and left the gathering.
What did you mean, Hillary? Were you referring to my keeping quiet about the assault I had
suffered at the hands of your husband only two weeks before? Were you warning me to
continue to keep quiet? We both know the answer to that question.
Yes, I can answer Brit Hume's question. You are the same Hillary that you were twenty
years ago. You are cold, calculating and self-serving. You cannot tolerate the thought
that you will soon be without the power you have wielded for the last eight years. Your
effort to stay in power will be at the expense of the state of New York. I only hope the
voters of New York will wake up in time and realize that Hillary Clinton is not an
honorable or an honest person.
I will end by asking if you believe the statements I made on NBC Dateline when Lisa Myers
asked if I had been assaulted and raped by your husband? Or perhaps, you are like
Vice-President Gore and did not see the interview.
