Hillary’s actions toward women, children speak louder than words

-

During the debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Oct. 9, Trump’s theme was that “Hillary has bad judgment.” Meanwhile, Clinton beat the drum that she cares about women and children.

Trump was correct. Hillary does have bad judgment in every area she has touched including health care, the economy, national security and immigratio­n.

Hillary, however, was not correct in her claim to be the champion of women and children. Here’s why:

As Trump pointed out, when several women came forward to say that Bill Clinton had sexually molested them, Hillary called them “bimbos” and discredite­d, undermined and smeared their reputation­s.

As Trump also mentioned, Hillary successful­ly defended a child rapist. Trump didn’t go into details. But Hillary’s client was, in 1975, a 41-year-old drifter who raped a 12-year-old girl on the side of desolate Arkansas road. Hillary blocked forensic evidence that linked her client to the crime and accused the girl of seeking out older men while demanding that she undergo a grueling court-ordered psychiatri­c examinatio­n. After the case, Hillary, on videotape, all but admitted her client was guilty, as she laughingly said that her “faith in polygraphs” was “forever destroyed” because her client was able to pass a lie detector test.

Trump also discussed the inner cities where everyone — including women and children — are stuck in poverty, joblessnes­s, low education and unsafe neighborho­ods. What has Hillary done for them except solicit them for their votes?

Trump could have mentioned two additional areas in which Hillary has shown she is no friend to women or children (or to anyone but herself, for that matter).

Hillary is a staunch pro-abortion candidate and believes that every mother should have the right to have her unborn baby murdered. The baby, of course, who has no say, is the ultimate victim. But studies have also shown that women who undergo abortions often suffer guilt and emotional torment for a lifetime.

Hillary also turns a blind eye to the Middle Eastern culture of subjugatin­g and abusing women and welcomes cash from these countries. The Daily Caller reported, “Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received upwards of $85 million in donations from five Persian Gulf states and their monarchs.” National Security Analyst Patrick Poole said, “These regimes are buying access. You’ve got the Saudis. You’ve got the Kuwaitis, Oman, Qatar and the UAE. There are massive conflicts of interest. It’s beyond comprehens­ion.”

Hillary might actually believe in her own warped mind that she cares about women and children. But her actions speak otherwise.
