A woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton has blasted the former president for hosting a virtual seminar on empowering women - while launching a vulgar attack at VP Kamala Harris.
Juanita Broaddrick, a former nurse, took to Twitter this week to slam the event hosted by the man she accused of raping her when she was working at a nursing home in Arkansas in 1978.
'Is this a f***ing joke?' she asked.
'This pervert........ who raped me....is going to talk about empowering women,' she claimed, referring to Biden.
'....with a woman who spread her legs for power....,' she continued, in a crude attack on Vice President Harris. It appears to be a bitter swipe at Harris dating former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown 20 years ago.
Broaddrick, 78, was reacting to an announcement from the Clinton Foundation that the former president was scheduled to host the discussion for the 13th annual Clinton Global Initiative event on Friday.
Clinton was due to discuss 'the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the U.S. and around the world' with Vice President Kamala Harris.

The event was slammed on social media by critics who questioned why Clinton, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct in the past and has been criticized for his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, would speak on such a topic.
Harris also drew criticism for her participation.
'There are no words..... despicable..... both of them. VP Harris, Bill Clinton talk about 'empowering women' despite skeptics,' Broaddrick said in a follow up tweet.
She also compared inviting Clinton to speak on women's empowerment to 'asking Jeffrey Dahmer to host a cooking class.'
Broaddrick, a former Arkansas nursing home administrator, first claimed in 1999 that Clinton raped her during a meeting in Little Rock in 1978, when he was the state's attorney general.
Clinton's attorney denied the claim at the time and Clinton was never charged.

Broaddrick sued Bill Clinton in 1999, but the case was dismissed in 2001.
Broaddrick also famously appeared alongside then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in a St Louis hotel in 2016 after he invited several women who accused Clinton of rape and unwanted sexual advances to watch his debate against Hillary Clinton.
Tuesday's announcement was also criticized by Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre who slammed Harris for taking part in the event with Clinton, a a onetime pal of the convicted pedophile.
'Wow!! She's asking Clinton how to empower women???' Virginia Giuffre tweeted on Wednesday.
'Wrong person, what she should be asking him is what the hell was Clinton doing on #Epstein island & private jets 27 TIMES!!'
Giuffre ended the tweet with the hashtag '#EnoughIsEnough.'

When asked to comment on Giuffre's tweet, a spokesperson for the Clinton Foundation told DailyMail.com: '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.'
The event, which will also be attended by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, will be staged in conjunction with Harris' alma mater, Howard University.
