Before becoming President of the United States, Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas. During his time as governor, Clinton was accused of sexually harassing an Arkansas state employee, Paula Jones. In fact, Jones sued Clinton in civil court for the alleged harassment, and the Clintons paid $850,000 to have the lawsuit dropped.
According to Peter Baker of the Washington Post, “The case opened a Pandora’s box of allegations about his past sex life and made him the first president ever interrogated under oath as a defendant in a civil lawsuit or before a grand jury as a possible criminal target.”
Fast-forward nearly 20 years, and Jones is in the news again. This time, she’s calling out the other half of the Clinton duo. During a radio interview with talk show host Aaron Klein on Sunday, Jones had a lot to say about Hillary Clinton and her claimed support for women and women’s rights.

According to Brietbart News, Jones, who recounted the alleged unwanted sexual advances by Clinton in detail, is appalled that Hillary Clinton portrays herself as a women’s rights advocate. (Listen to interview below.)
She expressed her frustration to Klein:
And how dare her. You know what? She don’t care nothing about women. Because if she did she would believe what I had to say. She would believe what the other women had to say. … It’s really a sad, sad day if Hillary becomes president, because she has allowed her husband to get by with this type of stuff. Why does he have a right to be back in the White House, the people’s house? Why is he allowed to be back there with the track record that he has and his wife and the lying that she does and how she tried to discredit all of these women that her husband abused and sexually harassed?

Klein then asked Jones if Hillary Clinton needed to apologize to all the accusers for Hillary having sided with her husband to which Jones replied, “she needs to do a public apology or something or other (for) all the women who have come out and said publicly what her husband did to them. Yes, she does. I believe she does.”
Klein also asked Jones to respond to a Hillary Clinton for President campaign ad which shows Hillary Clinton addressing sexual assault victims. Clinton said in the video, “I want to send a message to every survivor of sexual assault. Don’t let anyone silence your voice. You have a right to be heard and you have a right to be believed. We’re with you.”
Jones responded, “You know I wasn’t. I didn’t have a right to be heard, obviously. I had to be scrutinized in the media and I knew that I had God on my side. He knew what happened in the room. Bill Clinton knew what happened and he was never going to admit to it. The state trooper. He knew just a little bit of what happened. That was outside the door, you know.”
She continued, “Hillary is only out for herself … For money and for power, and she cares nothing about women at all … I don’t see how women would even be able to trust her if the man who is her husband who has abused and harassed and did other things to women and she knew about it.”
