UJuanita Broaddrick uhleli kubaphulaphuli beengxoxo zeholo yedolophu phakathi kwabagqatswa uTrump noClinton kwiYunivesithi yaseWashington, ngo-2016.Ifoto nguScott Olson / Getty Izithombe UJuanita Broaddrick, owatyhola uBill Clinton ngokumdlwengula kwigumbi lehotele e-Arkansas ngo-1978, uthi uyamkholelwa uChristine Blasey Ford ngezityholo zokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo ngokuchasene nomtyunjwa weNkundla ePhakamileyo uBrett Kavanaugh.
Ndiyakhumbula xa ndandiyintombazana eneminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu ubudala. Ndiyakhumbula ukuba ukuba kwenzeke into enje kum, nangona bendiyimfihlo, ngendixelele umntu, uBroaddrick uxelele uMbonisi. Andikwazi ukucinga ukuba intombazana encinci ingaxeleli mntu iminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Akuvakali nje kum.
Ibali likaFord libuyela kwiminyaka engama-36 ukuya kwitheko lendlu eMontgomery County, eMaryland apho athi uKavanaugh wamncamathelisa ebhedini kwaye wazama ukumhlasela. Uninzi lweRiphabhlikhi, kubandakanya noMongameli uTrump, ndibuze ukungabikho kobungqina kunye namangqina ahambelanayo kwiakhawunti yeFord.
Nangona u-Broaddrick, ngubani uxhase uTrump kunyulo luka-2016, uyalumka ingxelo kaFord, uthi abo basindileyo ekuhlaselweni ngokwesondo akufuneki bavinjwe ithuba lokuthetha amabali abo, kwaye uyakholelwa ukuba kunyanzelekile ukuba uFord anikwe iqonga kwiCongress ngaphambi kokuba uKavanaugh afungiswe njengoPhakamileyo olandelayo Ubulungisa benkundla.
Ukuba lixhoba ngokwam, nawuphina umntu obhinqileyo kufuneka abe nelungelo lokuza ngaphambili athi 'Heyi, le nto yenzeke kum,' utshilo uBroaddrick. Kodwa kwangaxeshanye kufuneka ahlolwe. Sonke siyayazi loo nto. Ndivakalelwa kukuba kufuneka aqhubeke nobungqina okanye ubuncinci axelele iCongress okanye ikomiti ibali lakhe ukuze babe nakho ukuva kuye.
Ndicinga ukuba ukuba kuthatha i-FBI ukwenza loo nto, yenze, uqhubeke uBroaddrick, owanyamezela ukubuzwa nguKenneth Starr ngexesha lophando lukaBill Clinton. Abantu abakhalaza malunga nokuba kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani kwaye abantu bayagxadazela, ndicinga ukuba lo mfazi, nangona ndingakholelwa kwelo bali, unelungelo lokubalisela ibali lakhe.
U-Broaddrick uthi unxulumene nokuhlolwa luluntu iFord ejongene nayo. Ngelixa engazange afumane izoyikiso zokufa njengommangaleli kaKavanaugh, ukhumbula ukuhlaselwa kakhulu ngamajelo eendaba kwaye ngaxesha lithile woyikisela ubomi bakhe emva kokudibana nommangalelwa owayesenza oko iiveki ezimbini phambi kokuba abhengeze umkhankaso wakhe wobongameli ngo-1992.
Khange ndibekho phambi kwale ndoda ukusukela oko kudlwengulwa kwaye yandothusa emathanjeni am, u-Broaddrick ukhumbula ukudibana, kwathiwa kwenzeka kwikhaya labongikazi eLittle Rock, eArkansas. Eyona nto imangalisayo ngalo mhla kukuba wayeyazi ukuba bendiphi ngelo xesha ebomini bam. Kwaye ndaye ndayiqonda ngakumbi indawo endikuyo kwaye ndiyaphi kwaye nokuba kukho umntu ondilandelayo.
Impendulo ka-Broaddrick kwinkangeleko ka-Clinton yayi-visceral, kwaye wazisile inkolelo yakhe yokuba, kufuneka uFord angqine phambi kweCongress, yena isicelo sokuthintela iKavanaugh ukusuka kwigumbi kufuneka kuhlonitshwe.
Ukuba zonke iiakhawunti zakhe zazinyanisile, kwaye enempendulo yengqondo kunye neyothusayo kuloo nto, ndicinga ukuba kufanele ukuba babe kumagumbi ahlukeneyo, utshilo uBroaddrick. Ndicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukuba axelele abantu kule komiti ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kuye. Wonke umntu unayo ileta yakhe, kodwa ndicinga ukuba kunyanzelekile ukuba bayive le nto iphuma emlonyeni wakhe kanye njengokuba ndenzayo xa ndandihamba phambi kwabantu bakaKen Starr. Kwakunzima. Apho bendihleli kwela gumbi nabantu kunye nawo onke la magqwetha endingawaziyo athetha ngesona siganeko sibuhlungu ebomini bam. Ndalila, kwakubi.
Ngasekupheleni komnxeba wethu, u-Broaddrick waphinda wavelana no-Ford malunga nokuba kutheni elinde amashumi eminyaka ngaphambi kokuya esidlangalaleni ngezityholo, uluvo alubonakali lubambelela kuMonica Lewinsky, ndahlatywa nyakenye ngenxa yokuthula kwakhe ngoClinton. Ukwavumile ukuba ufuna ukukholelwa abamangaleli kunye nokungahambi kakuhle ngaphambili kweminye imicimbi.
Silinde ixesha elide sobabini. Ndalinda iminyaka engamashumi amabini. Ulinde amashumi amathathu anesithandathu eminyaka, utshilo uBroaddrick. Ndicinga ukuba kufuneka ahlale phantsi aqiniseke ngayo yonke into ayithethayo; Qinisekisa ukuba inkumbulo eyinyani, eyona nto ibhetele anokuyenza. Kodwa kwakhona, andikholelwa ngokwenene kumfazi. Kodwa ndiye ndaphazama ngaphambili. Ndifuna ukunika ixhoba lonke uncedo ngokungathandabuzeki.
