Sponsors Ditch Bill O’Reilly, Partner With Bill Clinton

The American Spectator  . . . "The story links to this Buzzfeed story that quotes this official statement from Hyundai:
“We had upcoming advertising spots on the show but are reallocating them due to the recent and disturbing allegations,” the carmaker said in a statement. “As a company we seek to partner with companies and programming that share our values of inclusion and diversity. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation as we plan future advertising decisions.”
Got that? Hyundai says, “As a company we seek to partner with companies and programming that share our values of inclusion and diversity.”
Really? Really? Here’s a story Americans seem not to be seeing in the media about Hyundai — as headlined by Hyundai itself:
HYUNDAI IS EXPANDING ITS GOLF PRESENCE BY BECOMING THE OFFICIAL VEHICLE OF THE HUMANA CHALLENGE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CLINTON FOUNDATION AND VEHICLE PARTNER FOR THE FARMERS INSURANCE OPEN.
Hello? Hyundai is boasting of its “partnership with the Clinton Foundation”? As in Bill Clinton? The Bill Clinton as discussed here on NBC by Juanita Broaddrick?
“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.”
"So. Say again. Hyundai is boasting of a partnership with a foundation run by a man accused in specific, excruciating detail — of rape." . . .
Again. I never met Bill O’Reilly and was never on his TV show. But if the O’Reilly accusers and supporters of those accusers want to have credibility — then the demand to de-sponsor and defund the Clinton Foundation should begin now.
Or otherwise, just maybe sexual harassment isn’t as important as these sponsors and others say.
