Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHillary Clinton Attacks Misogynist, Homophobe, Bigot Rebecca Bradley Saturday Night
Edited to add: Rebecca Bradley is truly a piece of work from the Trump mold. This is the woman who blames college girls for date rape. And has no sympathy for people with AIDS. That this person has the power to influence to Wisconsin Supreme Court is a disgrace and threat to civil rights. Kudos to Hillary for calling her out!
"Clinton also criticized Bradley's track record and compared it to the speech used in the Republican primary, especially by national GOP front-runner Donald Trump, according to an aide for the Democratic front-runner.
"There is no place on any Supreme Court or any court in this country, no place at all for Rebecca Bradley's decades-long track record of dangerous rhetoric against women, survivors of sexual assault and the LGBT community," Clinton said.
She added, "No to discrimination, no to hate speech and no to Bradley."

(1,630 posts)I'm glad Hillary is fighting back! Here are some of the more reprehensible things Bradley has said:
■ "Perhaps AIDS Awareness should seek to educate us with their misdirected compassion for the degenerates who basically commit suicide through their behavior."
■ "But the homosexuals and drug addicts who do essentially kill themselves and others through their own behavior deservedly receive none of my sympathy."
■ "This brings me to my next point why is a student government on a Catholic campus attempting to bring legitimacy to an abnormal sexual preference?"
■ "Heterosexual sex is very healthy in a loving martial relationship. Homosexual sex, however, kills."
■ "I will certainly characterize whomever transferred their infected blood (to a transfusion recipient) a homosexual or drug-addicted degenerate and a murderer."
■ "We've just had an election (in 1992) which proves the majority of voters are either totally stupid or entirely evil."
■ Clinton "supports the Freedom of Choice Act, which will allow women to mutilate and dismember their helpless children through their ninth month of pregnancy. Anyone who could consciously vote for such a murderer is obviously immoral."

Bradley has also come under scrutiny for her representation of a husband with whom she was having an affair in his child custody case against his wife.

Bernie has been comparatively quiet about Bradley likely due to the fact that he has been compared to her for his rape comments!
