Hillary Clinton late on Friday finally responded to a New York Times bombshell story that accused her of helping coverup allegations of sexual harassment within her 2008 presidential campaign.
According to the Times, her campaign spiritual adviser, Burns Strider, was accused of “repeated” sexual misconduct by a young female staffer. Clinton didn’t want to fire Strider, so she docked him several weeks of pay and told him to seek counseling. Meanwhile, the young woman was moved to a new job.

Cupp put it, she has “betrayed generations of women by standing by a man who’s humiliated her, and she’s smeared all his accusers, and all the while she’s pretended to be on the side of women.”
