Sebelius: The Clinton White House doubled down on 'abusive behavior' and it's fair to criticize Hillary Clinton

(CNN)As a wave of stories unfold about sexual harassment and assault by men in power, a senior Democratic leader says her party should reflect on how it handled such charges when they were leveled against former President Bill Clinton.
"Not only did people look the other way, but they went after the women who came forward and accused him," says Kathleen Sebelius, the former secretary of Health and Human Services and Kansas governor. "And so it doubled down on not only bad behavior but abusive behavior. And then people attacked the victims."
Sebelius extended her criticism to Hillary Clinton, and the Clinton White House for what she called a strategy of dismissing and besmirching the women who stepped forward—a pattern she said is being repeated today by alleged perpetrators of sexual assault—saying that the criticism of the former first lady and Secretary of State was "absolutely" fair. Sebelius noted that the Clinton Administration's response was being imitated, adding that "you can watch that same pattern repeat, It needs to end. It needs to be over."

BTW, avoid Fort Marcy Park in the near future......
They waited 20 years to say something. Their word is worthless. Insincere and total BS.
IOW, THEY KNEW but kept silent.......................
Was she one of the women Cabinet members defending Bubba on the WH Lawn? I know that Shalala, Albright and I think Napolitano were there. Not sure about Sebelius..
You know what I do want to see out of this is some young lady or ladies coming forward to accuse Steponallofus of harassment. We know he participated in the smearing of all of Clintigula's accusers so that would be the icing on the cake for me, I hate that smug SOB.
Exactly. Way too late.
When every judge Bill Clinton ever appointed is no longer serving ...
When every 5-4 or 6-3 Supreme Court decision that Breyer and Ginsburg participated in is voided ...
When every Dem politician or voter who said or thought “Its only sex” is dead and buried ...
Then and only then do they ever again get to argue that a Republican’s sexual improprieties disqualify them from office.
Another Obama stooge about to get chain-sawed by President Trump.....
Et tu Kathleen??
Then die Hillary.
Maybe, sort of, never mind.
She can still blame Brutus and Cassius for having lost the Presidential Election!
I wondered if the Dem strategy was to trash every male in America and run nothing but women candidates from now on.
It's crazy but it makes sense in a weird sort of surreal way. There's no shortage of sleazeballs out there right now, liberal and conservative, gay and straight, but ALL MALE.
Maybe we'll overlook the fact that the vast majority are liberal. Maybe we'll be convinced the party changed its ways and purged all those disgusting mouthbreathing Neanderthals, and all the right-thinking womyn will come back to the fold.
And I really do see a purge in the works, biggest since Stalin's time...
Just like the fake media does. If we don't see it, read it, or hear it from them, it never happened.
And they are ALL in collusion with each other.
Agreed.
And remember that the Democrats parade around claiming that they are the party of women and minorities. Not that Republicans aren’t but that is the Democrat party mantra.
So when they are accused of abusing women, then it makes it doubly bad.
They are abusing the people that they claim to defend! That would make them liars and hypocrites. The worst, IMO.
I haven’t forgotten the condoms on the Christmas tree. What a filthy bunch of trash in the Clinton White House.
I’m glad they are all coming forward. Better late than never. It still doesn’t apply to Trump, who shared some locker room talk with another dude. There is no moral equivalency and if the Democrats want to go there, then I’m sure Trump will do what’s right....
And audit the hell out of all of them.
There appears to be a concerted effort in the Dem Party to get rid of the Clintons once and for all.
But that won’t be easy. Like getting dog crap off the bottom of your $200 sneakers.......................
Maybe in a couple more decades they’ll start to tell the truth about Obama. It will always be when it no longer matters.
They were biding their time until they really needed this. This is a transparent attempt to drive a stake through Hillsry’s Heart by aiming straight for the most loyal part of her constituency.
In the interest of Full Disclosure Sebelius should tell us how many young women were sexually mauled by Sebelius herself
and Big Sis Janetalia Napolitano when they were Cabinet Secretaries in the Obama administration.
And I bet Janetalia is running amok through those hairy-legged lefty California co-eds in her position as University of California president.
Like Bill Clinton at a Girl Scout sleepover.
Nothing you say is going to get you back in our good graces, Kathleen; not after Obamacare. No. Nothing.
They are stepping forward now not on principle but due to political necessity. The Republicans are sexual harassers propaganda campaign is boomeranging back on the Democrats and their media allies and they are trying to get control of the narrative again. The other part of all this coming to ahead is to stop Hillary from clearing the field for 2020 since she is using the “I was robbed” book tour to turn into a crusade “Right the wrong committed against both me and women everywhere! Lets resist and take what was stolen from us and win in 2020!” The Democrats are trying to push Hillary off the stage but she’s not going to go because she still thinks she can get into the White House. The Democrats realize she won’t but like a bad case of stubborn VD they can’t get rid of her no matter how strong the penicillin.
She’s not getting any younger and the Dem party has always been the ‘party of youth’, at least since JFK’s election.
LBJ was a powerful senator and then VP, then POTUS and still the Dem leadership had to go to him to tell him he could not run for reelection in 1968, even though he could have.
They may have to do the same with Hilliary, take her aside and say ‘Go away!’..................
