Hillary Clinton tried to silence a heckler during a campaign stop on Sunday telling the woman she was “very rude,” for comments made about Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual past.
Republican New Hampshire state representative Katherine Prudhomme O’Brien interrupted Clinton during a campaign event and began to heckle her about her husband’s sexual history, accusing her of enabling him to mistreat women.
“You are very rude and I’m not going to ever call on you,” Clinton snapped at O’Brien, after repeated interruptions by the state senator.
Much of what O’Brien shouted was inaudible to news cameras at the event, however, the state representative told CNN she was trying to ask Hillary about the women who have accused her husband of sexual assault.
“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,” O’Brien told CNN. “She told me this summer she doesn’t know who she is and doesn’t want to know who she is. How can she assess that they are lying, which she told someone last month?”
Broaddrick accused Bill of rape in 1999. The alleged incident occurred in 1978.
