Hillary Clinton’s #MeToo hypocrisy went viral after news broke that she was merely “dismayed” by her former faith adviser during her 2008 presidential campaign.
A new response, which was posted minutes before President Trump’s State Of The Union address, added a more in depth response, but only fueled the people who don’t like her, calling it Hillary Clinton’s #MeToo hypocrisy.
The longer apology, stated, “If I had it to do again, I wouldn’t,” a reference to keeping the campaign faith adviser, Burns Strider, as opposed to letting him go after her campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, recommended his removal due to allegations of sexual harassment.
People are rightfully mad that Former First Lady, Hillary Clinton, took the actions she did in 2008, and when given the chance in 2018 to apologize, she tried to skirt the issue. Additionally, when she did issue an apology, it came 5 days later, during the State Of The Union address, so that it would be drowned out in the chaos.
What Hillary Clinton’s #MeToo hypocrisy shows is that it’s sexual harassment in the workplace is a very complex issue. Victims are not only dealing with their harasser, but their dealing with the politics of the workplace. Allegations of sexual harassment can damage a company’s reputation, and higher ups may find it easier to silence the victims, rather than punish the harassers.
The #MeToo movement along with the #TimesUp movement are opening the dialogue, encouraging victims to come forward and share their stories, in order to fight back. If an employee facing harassment or discrimination of any kind feels silenced in the workplace or has had their complaints ignored, there are other outlets to pursue.
