NBC Scrubs Andrea Mitchell Calling Bill Clinton’s Rape Accuser ‘Discredited’

NBC News has stealth-edited an Andrea Mitchell segment where she called Bill Clinton’s rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick “discredited,” deleting the line entirely, theWashington Free Beacon has learned.

The seasoned news anchor was accused of bias for her remarks about Broaddrick’s rape allegation against Clinton, which she made during a video package about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in May.

“Donald Trump using that word [rape] unprompted during an interview last night with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, bringing up a discredited and long-denied accusation against former president Bill Clinton, dating back to 1978 when he was Arkansas Attorney General,” Mitchell says in a voice over for the original segment.

The segment is still available on NBC News and lists a May 19 dateline. However, Mitchell’s remark that Broaddrick’s accusation is “discredited” has been deleted. Mitchell only says the rape has been “long denied” by the Clintons. The audio jumps forward awkwardly, indicating that it was edited.
