I want to be very clear about something. Harassment is systemic & plagues many campaigns, as even Sanders critics are admitting. It's awful & needs to be dealt with. I'm an outspoken Sanders supporter but when i tweet about the hypocrisy about the people responding to this (1/?)
story who were silent about Hillary Clinton (who I was & am critical of while also acknowledging the sexism she faced), covering up Burns Strider's harassment, ignoring a campaign manager's advice that she fire him, it's not about Sanders or Clinton. It's about a larger (2/?)
disturbing hypocrisy that surfaced around the primary. The double standards, the blind defense of anything Clinton did, the weaponization of feminism to justify things ranging from Burns Strider to her policies to being less pro-choice than Sanders to smearing Sanders (3/?)
supporters as Bernie Bros & totally invisible-izing, ignoring or pathologizing his supporters of color, women, LGBTQ, to saying jack about a woman of color Sanders supporter being literally hit by an old straight white male Clinton donor, to ignoring or making light of (4/?)
Clinton supporter Wendell Pierce's literal battery charges for hitting a woman of color Sanders supporter to the lies about Sanders supporters "throwing chairs." Here are some things I've written or done episodes about to highlight this. It's, by the way, total gaslighting (5/?)
erasure, invisible-izing done by the very people who throw those terms around when convenient. OK. So, here's a piece I did on Bernie Bros, pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/… where you can see how the smear was created & based on literally no evidence (6/?)
Here's the interview I did with Moumita Ahmed, @disruptionary, a young woman of color who was literally hit with a cane! A cane! On video! By a straight white old man! soundcloud.com/katie-halper/w… Here's an interview i did with Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut, whom I believe was (7/?)
PAUSE: I made the Moumita episode public & not just for Patreon supporters patreon.com/posts/14616145. OK. Back to Juanita. Here's an interview I did with Juanita Broaddrick, whom I believe & whom @katiejmbaker wrote an excellent piece on. @michelleinbklyn Michelle Goldberg (8/?)
deserves credit for her op-ed saying she believes Juanita Broaddrick. She's the only Clinton supporting feminist journalist/writer who has written about & said they believe or maybe believe Broaddrick except for Katha Pollitt, but that was in the 1990a, and the other 1 (9/?)
was Wonkette's Rebecca Schoenkopf who said she kinda believed Broaddrick but said that Bill Clinton raping her doesn't make him a bad feminist. To be fair, she apologized for this afterwards. And it made me look into Broaddrick's case & realize that she was not a wingbat (10/?) 
My interview with Juanita on my podcast soundcloud.com/katie-halper/j… & in NY mag nymag.com/intelligencer/…. I don't agree with Broaddrick on Trump but I totally understand why she became a supporter when nobody else gave her the time of day. She was not, by the way, right wing (11/?)
when she came forward about Clinton. She voted for Obama IN THE GENERAL in 2008! There are tons of myths about her & @PhilippeReines disgustingly said she was "full of shit," & lied about why Ken Starr didn't use her in his impeachment case. Part of the reason I'm going (12/?)
over this is bc I have an episode coming out today on Broaddrick. I interviewed Josh Kendell @jckendall about wha the calls the Clinton misogynist slime machine. I interviewed him bc it's the 20 year anniversary of the impeachment hearings & nobody has said anything about (13/?)
Broaddrick. I just made my bonus with Broaddrick public patreon.com/posts/16748644. & here's the interview @gabe_pacheco and I did with Katie Baker about her Broaddrick piece. soundcloud.com/katie-halper/k…. And (14/?)
here is an ep of @strugglesesh where I talk to @leslieleeiii & @jackallisonLOL & Daniel Brown about Clinton's covering Burns Strider harassment soundcloud.com/struggle-sessi… (15/?)
