Gennifer Flowers Says She Will Attend First Presidential Debate As Trump’s Guest


Daniel Marans
Reporter, Huffington Post


Gennifer Flowers, a model and entertainer who had an affair with Bill Clinton while he was governor of Arkansas, said that she will attend Monday night’s presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, at Trump’s invitation.

Flowers’ assistant confirmed her attendance to BuzzFeed. The Trump campaign did not respond to The Huffington Post’s request for confirmation.

Trump threatened to invite Flowers if Mark Cuban, a celebrity billionaire backing Clinton, attended the debate.

Juanita Broaddrick, a retired nurse who maintains that Clinton raped her in 1978, told HuffPost that Trump had not asked her to attend.

“It’s a little late to make travel arrangements but it would be delightful to attend such an epic event. Maybe I will get an invitation to the next one,” she said in a Twitter message.

Monday night’s showdown, which will be the first time Hillary Clinton and Trump appear on the same stage as candidates, is expected to draw upwards of 100 million viewers.

If Trump indeed invited Flowers to the debate, it will be a virtually unprecedented stunt for a presidential candidate.

In inviting Flowers to the debate, Trump has decided it’s wise to humiliate the first female presidential nominee from a major party for her husband’s infidelities.

** When you live in a country where women who sleep with someone's husband is admired and the injured party the wife is villified**

Shameful. She has no class. Classless is what led her to have an affair with a married man anyway. He claims that Clinton is horrible to women, but Trump is proving he loves when people cheat. He sees gratification from it. Im sure his last wives were humiliated when he cheated and I bet he rubbed it in their faces

It will make Drumpf's move look even more mean spirited and idiotic.

All he has to say is, "This event is about the next president of the United States, not me."

If you were being fair, you'd concede that "classless" applies to both of them, and probably more to him, since he'd taken a vow of fidelity; Flowers had not.

He goes for the tabloid type response where Flowers becomes a lead balloon around his neck.

She has long since had to come to terms with the past, thus I think she won't be flustered. But he will be (his move showed he already is flustered per Cuban's seat.)

Interesting that people are vilifying Gennifer Flowers, but don't speak a word against the one who destroyed his marriage vows and embarrassed his family on a global scale. There is a word more appropriate than classless for what he did.

Secretary Clinton will be just fine. She has undertaken much, much worse. I look forward to the evisceration of Trump on Monday.

... (And I don't defend that), but the republican's never-ending witch hunt is what put it in the news and embarrassed HRC. Bill never sought attention for his actions.

When is he going to get around to running against Hillary?

I wasn't aware Bill was running for any office.

rude, crude pig he is.
All of the velvet, limousines, silk ties and suits (imported, of course) can make this pig one speck of a decent human being.

And he's getting anything above 5% of votes in polls?

I ache for our country.

I just think he is trying to say it is the woman's fault if her mate cheats on her. He would never invite a woman blaming "any" man for rape.

Flowers is an ancient history face that has no reflection on Hillary and Cuban is a fellow billionaire who has dealt personally with Trump and knows him quite well.

I realize Trump is attempting to get under Hill's skin but the fall-out from this could be (h)uge. Surely his advisor's have not agreed that this is the way to go. The voter's who wlll like this stunt are already voting for Trump. The undecided and women are likely to see him as mean-spirited as most of us knew all along.

He's hoping it will be humiliating, it won't be. I can't wait for Hillary to crush Trump.
