Flashback: NBC Smeared Clinton Rape Accuser Juanita Broaddrick as ‘Discredited’

Considering the controversy facing NBC over questions about its decision not to pursue Ronan Farrow’s bombshell Harvey Weinstein investigation, which was central to launching the #MeToo movement, it may be instructive to recall the network’s longtime alleged mistreatment of Bill Clinton rape accuser Juanita Broaddrick.

Broaddrick has been trying to extract an apology from NBC News Anchor Andrea Mitchell for claiming Broaddrick’s highly credible accusations against Clinton had been “discredited” during a Today Show segment.

Broaddrick has also said that NBC scrubbed a section of its original 1999 interview with her where she claimed that Hillary Clinton tried to silence the rape allegations, while questions have been raised about the network’s infamously waiting 35 days to air its original exclusive Broaddrick interview detailing the rape allegations until after the Senate voted to acquit Clinton in the impeachment case involving Monica Lewinsky.
