Bill and Hillary Clinton are two of the most memorable icons of the 1990s, and now both of them are trying to return to the place where all the magic happened: The White House.
But the Clintons aren’t the only ’90s relics making a comeback in 2016. Hillary’s success in the Democratic primary means that all the juiciest allegations about the Clintons from previous decades (whether or not they have any basis in reality) are resurfacing as well, and it isn’t pretty.
There’s Juanita Broaddrick, for example, the woman who accused Bill Clinton of raping her in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978, although the allegations first came to light in 1999.
I was 35 years old when Bill Clinton, Ark. Attorney General raped me and Hillary tried to silence me. I am now 73….it never goes away.

Broaddrick recently blasted Hillary for “enabling” Bill’s illicit sexual behavior.
The NY times should do equal time investigating Hilary's enabling of Bill Clintons sexual assaults on women

“I could actually have respected Hillary if she had divorced Bill in 1978,” Broaddrick said in a recent interview with WorldNetDaily. “But I feel like she has always known about all of his dalliances and misdeeds either at the time or shortly after, and now we know their marriage is just an arrangement. I can’t respect a woman like that.”
Hillary’s presumptive Republican opponent in the general election, Donald Trump, has also dredged up old (unsubstantiated) allegations that the Clintons may have played a role in the death of White House adviser Vince Foster (his death was ruled a suicide).
Notes from a recently unearthed interview with another Clinton associate, Jim McDougal, reveal that, according to McDougal, Hillary bullied Foster shortly before his death.”Vince Foster committed suicide,” said McDougal in an interview, which was conducted before his death in 1998. “He had so much of their shit on his head and Hillary was riding him every minute.”
More inflammatory allegations have come to light in recent weeks, with the publication of two new books. In Hillary: The Other Woman, author Dolly Kyle, who claims to be a childhood friend and former lover of Bill’s, writes that Hillary uttered a series of offense statements against mentally handicapped children, Jews and African-Americans.
On one occasion, allegedly, during the traditional Easter egg hunt at the governor’s mansion in Arkansas, Hillary lashed out at the mentally handicapped children who were having trouble picking up the eggs. “The frustrated Me-First Lady demanded, ‘When are they going to get those f*****g ree-tards out of here?'” Dolly writes.
Another forthcoming book, Crisis of Character, written by Clinton-era secret service agent Gary Byrne, is causing a stir thanks to a number of inflammatory allegations, mostly aimed at the former first lady. Byrne writes, among other things, that Hillary once threw a Bible at another secret service agent and hit him in the back of the head, and that she gave Bill a “black eye” following a “violent encounter” before he admitted his affair with Monica Lewinsky in a televised address to the nation.
Are you ready for eight more years?
