Hillary Clinton Refuses To Apologize For Laughing About 12-Year-Old Rape Victim She Maligned In Court

I imagine the idea of her apologizing[1] to someone was nauseating to her:

Clinton Libya_Phyr(1)[2]

Hillary Clinton weighed in on her 1975 legal defense of an accused child rapist on Saturday, her first comments on the case since it came under scrutiny following a Washington Free Beacon report last month.

Clinton spoke in clinical, legal terms while explaining her defense of the rapist, who Clinton helped to avoid a lengthy prison term by relying on a technicality relating to the chain of evidence of his blood-soaked underwear, as well as arguing at the time that the 12-year-old victim may have exaggerated or encouraged the attack.

“When you are a lawyer, you often don’t have the choice as to who you will represent, and by the very nature of criminal law there will be those who you represent that you don’t approve of,” said Clinton in an interview published on Friday with Mumsnet, an online forum for parents in the UK.

She’s right that she might not have had a choice about who she represented, but she did have a choice not to laugh about how she engaged in victim blaming and slut shaming a 12 year old she knew to be a rape victim.

She thought that was funny and that’s the story.

Advocate for women? Hardly.
