Hillary Clinton Heckled By Republican Lawmaker Over Bill Clinton's Alleged Misconduct
A New Hampshire state representative over the weekend got into an argument with Hillary Clinton after she tried to question the Democratic front-runner over allegations involving the sexual history of Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton.
Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien, a Republican member of the Granite State's House of Representatives, repeatedly interrupted during a town hall held at a middle school gymnasium in Derry, New Hampshire.
According to the Washington Post, Prudhomme-O'Brien has a history of following the former New York senator and urging her to answer questions about Bill Clinton's alleged misconduct. It was not clear if the presidential candidate was able to hear the representative's comments, but Clinton did take note of the interruption and chided Prudhomme-O'Brien for her behavior.
"You are very rude," Clinton replied. "And I'm not ever going to call on you."
Prudhomme-O'Brien later told reporters that she was angered by "the hypocrisy of the so-called women fighting for women" and thus wanted to raise the issue of Bill Clinton's alleged sexual misconduct.
"I asked her how in the world she can say that Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey are lying when she has no idea who Juanita Broaddrick is," Prudhomme-O'Brien told CNN in reference to a former Arkansas nursing home administrator who in 1999 had accused Bill Clinton of having raped her two decades earlier.
At the time, Clinton's attorney David Kendall denied the allegations on behalf of the then-president, and the Clintons have refused to further comment on the issue.
"She told me this summer she doesn't know who she is and doesn't want to know who she is," Prudhomme-O'Brien added. "How can she assess that they are lying, which she told someone last month?"
The Democratic front-runner last year told an Iowa audience that rape victims "have the right to be believed," assuring them they had "the right to be heard." But Prudhomme-O'Brien alleged that the former first lady was not making true on her promise.
"She says that rape victims should be believed," the state representative noted. "I agree with her, that is true, they should be believed and we should assess what they are saying, she doesn't even what to access it."
