  • Juanita Broaddrick claims she was raped by Bill Clinton in a Little Rock, Arkansas hotel room in 1978 
  • In a new interview, Broaddrick is speaking out against Hillary Clinton's run for president  
  • The former Clinton campaign volunteer claims Hillary knew about her husband allegedly raping her and tried to silence her
  • When Broaddrick first went public with the allegations against Clinton in 1999, the then president's attorney denied the claims  

A woman who previously accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault is speaking out against Hillary's run for president. 

Juanita Broaddrick says she was raped by Clinton in a Little Rock, Arkansas hotel room nearly forty years ago and that Hillary knew about the incident and tried to cover it up.

In an interview with Aaron Klein Investigative Radio, the usually media-shy Broaddrick says she is speaking out about the alleged incident once more because she believes the Clintons 'are not good people for America'. 

'I think she has always known everything about him. I think they have this evil compact between the two of them that they each know what the other does and overlook it. And go right on. And cover one for the other,' she said.

Broaddrick first became acquainted with Bill Clinton in 1978,  when the then-attorney general of Arkansas was running for governor and Broaddrick was volunteering on his campaign.

The two met face to face for the first time when Clinton made a campaign stop at the nursing home where Broaddrick worked as an administrator, and the two started talking about her work.   

'He would just sort of insinuate, you know when you are in Little Rock let's get together. Let's talk about the industry. Let's talk about the needs of the nursing homes and I was very excited about that,' she said. 

So when Broaddrick traveled to Little Rock for a convention in the spring of 1978, she called his campaign and they arranged to meet at the coffee shop in the Camelot Hotel, where she was staying with a co-worker.

But Clinton, Broaddrick says, later called her to switch their meeting location from the public coffee shop to her private hotel room because the cafe was 'too crowded'

Cover up? Broaddrick says she decided to speak about the rape again because she believes Hillary Clinton (pictured on October 24) was complacent in the incident and isn't the right person for the White House

When Clinton got to her room, Broaddick says things 'got out of hand' when Clinton 'brutally' started kissing and biting her lip. 

While she refused to rehash the details of the alleged rape, Broaddrick has spoken about it on prior occasions. 

In 1999, she told Dateline:  'Then he tries to kiss me again. And the second time he tries to kiss me he starts biting my lip.

'He starts to, um, bite on my top lip and I tried to pull away from him. And then he forces me down on the bed. And I just was very frightened, and I tried to get away from him and I told him "No," that I didn't want this to happen but he wouldn't listen to me.

'It was a real panicky, panicky situation. I was even to the point where I was getting very noisy, you know, yelling to "Please stop." And that's when he pressed down on my right shoulder and he would bite my lip.

'When everything was over with, he got up and straightened himself, and I was crying at the moment and he walks to the door, and calmly puts on his sunglasses. And before he goes out the door he says "You better get some ice on that." And he turned and went out the door.'

Broaddrick says she was wracked with guilt in the weeks following the incident, believing she was to blame for letting Clinton come up to her room. 

But she was left even more upset three weeks later, when she met Hillary Clinton for the first time. 

According to a friend who had driven the Clintons to a private campaign event, the couple had allegedly been speaking about Broaddrick the entire car ride. When they arrived at the house, Broaddrick says Clinton pointed her out to his wife and Hillary approached Broaddrick alone.

When Hillary came up to her, Broaddrick says they exchanged pleasantries before Hillary gave her an awkward thanks.

According to Broaddrick, Hillary said: 'I just want you to know how much Bill and I appreciate the things you do for him.' 

'And I just stood there...I was sort of you might say shell-shocked,' Broaddrick recalls. 

'And she said, "Do you understand. Everything you do."

What really went through my mind at the time is 'She knows. She knew. She's covering it up and she expects me to do the very same thing

'She tried to take a hold of my hand and I left. I told the girls I can't take this. I'm leaving. So I immediately left.'

Broaddrick says her interpretation of the conversation was that Hillary knew what had happened and was trying to sweep it under the rug.  

'What really went through my mind at that time is "She knows. She knew. She's covering it up and she expects me to do the very same thing."'

While Broaddrick says she eventually got an apology from Clinton himself, the week before he announced his run for president in 1991, she thinks it's hypocritical that Hillary has been running her campaign partially on a platform of women's issues.

She says she 'almost died' two months ago when she saw a Clinton campaign ad, in which Hillary said 'every survivor of sexual assault' has the right to be 'believed'. 

'Shame on you, Hillary, that's disgusting,' Broaddrick said. 'Shame on you, Hillary. It's time to be truthful,' she added. 

Broaddrick first went public with the accusations against Clinton in 1999, shortly after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Clinton's attorney David Kendall denied the allegations at the time. Clinton has never publicly addressed Broaddrick's claims.
