Why is NoHope Hillary coordinating with a racist/sexist who put a sex molester on the supreme court?

As we all know, David Brock, the guy NoHope Hillary is coordinating with to smear Bearnie Sanders with stories of sexism, racism, communism, and every other ism out there, worked very hard to smear Anita Hill when she stood up against Clarence Thomas in his confirmation hearings.

For those who may not remember the details, Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexually harassing and molesting her (who can forget leaving one of his pubic hairs on her can of coca-cola?). Instead of using facts to discredit her, Brock later admitted that he knowingly lied in order to destroy her credibility (sound familiar?). One of his 'clever' quotes was that she was "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty."

Today, David Brock is NoHope Hillary Clinton's closest ally in smearing Bernie Sanders with lies and distortions. Why aren't her supporters condemning his presence on her campaign? Why are they not pushing for her to denounce his superPAC and demand that he stop raising dark money from mega-banks and multinational corporations in her name?

Why are so many willing to ignore the works of David "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" Brock?

I did not know of the Anita Hill connection. This should get broader coverage. I wonder if his view is that Clinton is the weaker candidate in general...

... David "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty" Brock?

Anything and I mean ANY-GAWDDAMN-THING to win. It defines Hillary Clinton. There is no lie too wrong. There is no trick too dirty. There is no smear too vile. No character assassination too low.

It's how she and apparently her supporters roll.

And you know how disgusting and unforgivable it was to destroy a respected law professor in order to place a sex molester on the Supreme Court.

And that is exactly what you're supporting when you try to dismiss his actions.

When that fucker asks me for forgiveness for that and for what he did to Anita Hill I will be more than happy to tell him to fuck off. I wasted my fucking time defending her and I'm not about to defend her again. From anything.

so he didn't put Thomas or anyone else on the court.

Describing an article he wrote for The American Spectator, a conservative magazine, in 1992, which became the basis for his book on Ms. Hill . . .

And Brock apologized in 2001 for bashing without first checking the facts. Think about it.

David Brock is the perfect example of white male privilege! And don you forget it

Did he public apologies to her
