NBC News journalists - including veteran reporter Andrea Mitchell - conducted interviews last week with Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansas woman who says Bill Clinton raped her in 1978, but decided not to go forward with a story, claiming that there was not "anything new" to report.
"When Juanita Broaddrick went public last week, NBC News sent an associate producer to Arkansas to see if there was anything new in her story. We established there was not, and decided not to pursue it any further," an NBC spokesperson told Buzzfeed News.
Broaddrick, a 73-year-old retired nursing home administrator, spoke out on Twitter last Wednesday after 17 years of silence about the alleged rape.
"I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73 ... it never goes away," Broaddrick wrote in a tweet that has been shared 13,000 times.
Broaddrick, who is one of numerous women who have accused Clinton of sexual violence or harassment over the years, had first talked publicly about the 1978 incident in a 1999 interview with NBC's "Dateline." She said during that interview that she met Clinton when she went to volunteer at the Little Rock headquarters of his gubernatorial campaign. She said she and Clinton later met for coffee at a hotel where she was staying but that the politician asked to carry on their discussion in her room. There, Broaddrick says Clinton raped her.

NBC spiked the story because there's nothing newsworthy about a Democrat former president raping a woman!
Nothing
But
Clintons
“Old stories, nothing new, vast right wing conspiracy, we dealt with that years ago, nothing proven, etc, etc”
The MSM will never stop covering up Clinton scandals.
How could there be anything new to her story? What happened is what happened. Did they expect her to change it?
If she would have had something “new” to say the idiots would have called her a liar for fabricating something that wasn’t said before.
That’s exactly what they were hoping for... so they could say she was lying because “her story changed”
Hey you fools at NBC, what’s new is that he’s trying to get back into the White House. SHEESH!
“Nothing new to report?” The scumbags didn’t report it in the first place, but this is fine. When she and some of Bubba’s other victims campaign with Trump the under 40 voters who never heard this stuff will wake up to media lies.
Well that peanut picker from Georgia didn’t rape any women. He is however tied with Bubba for the 2nd worst president in U.S. history. Ya’ll know who the worst is.
Gee! Sounds like Cosby’s victims to me. They also told the same stories for years. And the difference is?
The Liberal War on Women marches on!
I guess the ‘old story’ wasn’t important enough for them to print for the first time now? Or was Lisa Myers with NBC when she interviewed Broaddrick back in the 90’s? If so, I will acknowledge that NBC did at least report on it then.
Well Said,
“NBC Scrapped Story About Bill Clinton Rape Accuser Because. . .” the Clintons, their lawyers, lanny davis, john podesta, sidney blumenthal, their lawyers all called up their inlaws and relatives working at NBC and warned them against it,
The Clintons are probably angrier that NBC was even considering doing a story about bill clintons rape history and then outsiders found out about it,
Now NBC ‘doing a whitewash’ has become a story all by itself,
Comcast, the owner and master of NBC, is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.
Joseph Goebbels never had it so good and he was the minion of Adolph Hitler
Obama didn’t have anything new to say in his SOTU speeches, either, but they not only used them, but supported them.
They scrapped this story when impeachment was looming.
Did they scrap it again? Can’t tell. Get your act together, Daily Caller.
“Nothing new here. Every woman who ever met Bill Clinton knows he’s a rapist. Every American knows Hillary protected the rapist and destroyed the women he victimized. Let’s move on and cover Hillary’s popularity with those women she hasn’t destroyed, and then condemn the republican War on Women.”
That was, like, 17 years ago, man. /s
If Slick were a Republican, running for reelection, and it were October, and you were, say, Dan Rather, do you run a “nothing new” story, or only fabricated ones?
The fact is, Clinton supporters and other straight-ticket party-line Demwits KNOW that Slick is a rapist — they just don’t care. That’s because they are scumbags.
I know there are a lot of FINOs who love HuffPo — here’s their headline:
NBC News Sought Sit-Down Interview With Clinton Accuser Juanita Broaddrick

They never reported the old stuff. So yes, it’s ALL new!
