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 several women.
The Clinton Foundation announced on Tuesday that the discussion would take place as part of a virtual event with university students from around the world on Friday. In addition to 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 lecture as: “An individual conversation with President Clinton and Vice President Kamala Harris about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women and the empowerment of women and girls in the United States and around the world.”
The Howard University-sponsored lecture raised questions about previous charges against Clinton, as well as Harris’ previous defense of #MeToo and Supreme Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh. One of those women, Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Clinton of rape, turned down the scheduled event.

“Is that a joke from f —– g?” she asked in a tweet. “That pervert … who raped me.” In another, she asked whether Howard University would like to include her in the lecture and included a photo of the cover of her book reiterating her rape accusation.
The former president has denied several accusations, including Broaddrick’s, but admitted to having been involved in sexual activities with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
“To ’empower women’, Kamala Harris and Howard Univ will promote a man that no sane father would want around his daughter, Bill Clinton,” said former Trump campaign officer Steve Cortes.

The event comes at a time when Harris faces criticism for his relative silence over allegations of misconduct made to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The vice president’s office, Howard University and the Clinton Foundation did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment.
