 Juanita Broaddrick is a retired registered nurse and former nursing home owner.   In 1999, she burst into the public consciousness when she accused President Bill Clinton on national television of raping her as he ran for Governor of Arkansas.  It was a TV appearance she dreaded but felt compelled to come forward after being deposed by Independent Counsel regarding the events of April 25, 1978.   The NBC Dateline interview, however, was held by NBC until after the Impeachment hearing was over and finally aired two weeks later opposite the Grammy Awards.After the trauma of relating the horrific events on national TV, Juanita wanted nothing more to do with the media and faded from the public eye until the Presidential Campaign of 2016.    It was then she heard about a tweet Hillary Clinton had made late in 2015.  Hillary tweeted, "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".   Juanita could stay quiet no longer, remembering how she and the other victims of Bill Clinton had been harassed and threatened by Hillary Clinton. She asked her grandson to show her how to use Twitter.On January 6, 2016, Juanita tweeted, "I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Arkansas Attorney General, raped me and Hillary tried to silence me.   I am now 73….it never goes away."   The tweet went viral, instantly, and she has been tweeting in support of Donald Trump ever since.   Juanita, along with other victims of Bill Clinton, appeared with Mr. Trump at the 2nd presidential debate October 9, 2016, in St. Louis.  She has been interviewed numerous times on Fox News by Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Martha MacCullam, Judge Jeanine and Jesse Watters,  on CNN by Jake Tapper and SE Cupp, on OAN TV by Graham Ledger and on CRTV by Eric Bolling.  She continues to do  interviews on national radio shows, including the Sean Hannity radio show.  Juanita has written a book about her life and the years of trauma and emotions of being raped by a powerful man.   Now as we see the women coming forward telling their stories of sexual assault by another powerful Attorney General from New York, she remembers what it was like so many years ago.   Their comments in the New Yorker are a haunting reminder of what she went through.  One said, "What do you do if your abuser is the top law-enforcement official in the state?"   Exactly, …….her thoughts four decades ago.  And now we see the double standard by the Democrats by elevating the uncorroborated allegations of Dr. Christine Ford while turning their backs on Broaddrick during the impeachment of Bill Clinton 1999.   Juanita's book is titled, "You'd Better Put Some Ice on That".  Those are the words Bill Clinton said to her after he raped her, referring to her swollen, bleeding lip.  Those words will forever be a reminder of that day in 1978.
