Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a joint discussion on
"empowering women and girls" with former President Bill Clinton,
who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
The Clinton Foundation announced on Tuesday that the discussion
would take place as part of a virtual event with college
students from around the world on Friday. Besides Harris, other
speakers will include Mayor Muriel Bowser, former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton, her daughter Chelsea and Georgia Democrat
Stacey Abrams.
The foundation described the talk as: "A one-on-one conversation
with President Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris on the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women
and girls in the U.S. and around the world."
The Howard University-hosted talk raised questions about past
accusations against Clinton, as well as Harris' previous
advocacy surrounding #MeToo and Supreme Court Justice Brett
Kavanaugh. One of those women, Juanita Broaddrick, who accused
Clinton of rape, balked at the scheduled event.

"Is this a f-----g joke?" she asked in one tweet. "This pervert
........ who raped me." In another, she asked if Howard
University would like to include her in the talk and included a
photo of her book cover reiterating her accusation of rape.
The former president has denied multiple allegations, including
Broaddrick's, but famously admitted to engaging in sexual
activity with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
"To 'empower women,' Kamala Harris and Howard Univ will promote
a man that no sane father would want anywhere near his daughter,
Bill Clinton," said former Trump campaign official Steve Cortes.
The event comes as Harris has faced criticism for her relative
silence about the misconduct allegations lobbed at New York Gov.
Andrew Cuomo.

The vice president's office and Howard University did not
immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.
In a statement to Fox News, the Clinton Foudation said: "For 20
years under the direction of President Clinton, the Clinton
Foundation has worked to empower girls and women around the
world. The Clinton Global Initiative has launched thousands of
commitments to improve lives: empowering more than 13 million
girls and women through job and leadership training; improving
maternal and child health care access for more than 114 million
people; and increasing opportunity for women in STEM education
and careers."
