Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Bill Clinton will be speaking together at an event Friday hosted by the Clinton Foundation on the topic of empowering women in the United States and around the world.
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event will feature the two speaking one-on-one and will focus on the challenges that women have had to endure during the coronavirus pandemic, and how to empower women throughout the world.
Harris is set to speak with Clinton despite the former president having faced allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women spanning decades.
Clinton was also close associates with convicted pedophile and sex-trafficking billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Clinton has remained largely silent regarding the flights that he took on Epstein’s private jet, which reportedly offered passengers young girls for sex.
In January 2020, the U.S. Sun published an article that showed a photo of Clinton standing on Epstein’s plane with a young girl, Chauntae Davies.
Additional photos of the president with Epstein’s victims, including one of Clinton receiving a shoulder rub, have since been leaked.”
The event on Friday, hosted by Harris’s alma mater, Howard University, is part of a four-day event for the 13th annual ‘CGI University’ and will have other speakers such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Democratic activist Stacey Abrams, and American author Wes Moore.
The event will seek to talk about subjects such as “restoring faith in democracy, environmental justice, COVID-19 recovery, and creating systemic change,” according to the event page.
Politico reporter Christopher Cadelago broke the news on Twitter, sharing that a press release touting an event for the Clinton Global Initiative University has on its Friday afternoon schedule.
Twitter users had a field day with the news. Most expressed that it is laughable to ask Clinton’s authority on the topic of empowering women and girls.
Some were outraged by the decision, with one follower tweeting,
“This is sickening. @BillClinton used the totality of his time in public office using power to procure sex from young women at the start of their careers & burying them, he is credibly accused of forceful rape AND sexual assault. Shame on @KamalaHarris. @VP should cancel this.”
Someone else added, “Tell @VP and Billy boy this is beyond tone-deaf. It’s an insult.”
One person commented that agreeing to the event was a bad call on the part of Harris’ people, writing, “Can’t believe whoever booked this for Kamy didn’t pause just a SECOND and say……..Should we really have Bill discussing this with the VP? ”
