Former two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is under fire for protecting a 2008 campaign adviser from sexual harassment charges.
At the time of the accusation, Clinton had the man who was accused of the harassment attend counseling and moved him to a different role but she did not fire him.
CBS News reports:
The first time she ran for president in 2008, Hillary Clinton chose to shield her faith adviser on the campaign who was accused of sexually harassing a subordinate, according to the New York Times, citing four people familiar with what took place. Clinton responded Friday night with a tweet saying she was “dismayed” when the incident occured in 2008 and the woman’s “had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.”

A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred, but was heartened the young woman came forward, was heard, and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.

Clinton is being criticized for being a hypocrite regarding women’s rights.
Clinton poses as a champion of women but she fails to back women who come forward with claims of sexual harassment and abuse.
After the news broke about Clinton protecting the campaign worker, a video of her appeared on Twitter thanking women for their feminism and activism. After her initial statement, she repeats a comment made by someone else describing the women activists as “activist bitches.”
