It’s ironic when outspoken liberal women who moan about “women’s rights” come to the defense of men with multiple accusations of sexual crimes against women, even rape, simply because they’re Democrats. On Thursday’s The View, co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar did just that, coming to the Clintons’ defense over Juanita Broaddrick’s rape accusations and, along with Sunny Hostin, dismissing Broaddrick’s “credibility.”

The segment started out by playing a clip from Fox News’ Sean Hannity interviewing Donald Trump Wednesday night on his show. Hannity brought up how The New York Times hammered Trump for his past behavior towards women, while ignoring the many rape and other sexual assault claims made against Bill Clinton.

Whoopi Goldberg insisted that bringing up Bill Clinton’s past behavior should have no effect on Hillary or this election cycle and that the media had covered “all of this” enough already.

GOLDBERG: [H]er husband was impeached, he went through all the stuff. They've already gone through -- they have done all of this. They did all of these pieces when he was president. So let's start with that. We know all that, but what does that have to do with Hillary?

Joy Behar added, to audience’s applause, that sexual allegations against presidents was “nothing new” before making her feminist pitch:

BEHAR: A little history lesson. In the 20th century almost every president had some kind of sexual allegations thrown at him so this is nothing new. Can we find a woman perhaps who doesn't have any sexual allegations? We have one. Let's just vote for her. [ Applause ]

But defending liberal men against rape and other claims of abuse against women is a common pattern for Goldberg and Behar. Whoopi, in 2009, despicably defended Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13-year-old girl as “not ‘rape-rape’.”Joy Behar has publically admitted that she has no problem voting for Clinton as a rapist, because he’s a liberal, or Ted Kennedy for leaving a woman to drown, because he stood for “women’s rights.” Let the absurdity of that statement sink in.

Paula Faris and Whoopi Goldberg also went back and forth a few times about Broaddrick’s credibility. Goldberg insisted that Broaddrick had changed her story “multiple times” while Faris argued it was only “once.” Sunny Hostin jumped in to defend Goldberg, saying that people were going to question Broaddrick’s “credibility” because her story has “been disproven” after she recanted it in an affidavit.

PAULA FARIS: I'll tell you what, I have an answer here. Here's why it's important. Whoopi, you keep asking why it's important. First and foremost, Hillary issued a tweet last December I believe. If we can put it up, I want everybody to look at it. Right here she said every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed and supported. Juanita Broaddrick then tweets I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Arkansas Attorney General raped me. If you're going to issue that and say that every survivor story needs to be heard and her story never has been disproven it feels a little tone-deaf. SUNNY HOSTIN: I disagree it's never been disproven because she herself in an affidavit, recanted. WHOOPI GOLDBERG: She's said it more than once. She’s recanted it more than once.

The View panel ignored the fact that Juanita Broaddrick wasn’t the only woman who made accusations of sexual assault against Bill Clinton. They also did not bring up how Hillary Clinton has been accused of trying to cover up and silence these women over the years and that is one of the reasons why her husband’s infidelities and alleged crimes against women are important to this election cycle.
