A 60 Minutes interview conducted back in 1992 reveals an eye-opening look at Hillary Clinton. After being questioned about Bill Clinton’s alleged 12-year affair with Gennifer Flowers, Hillary gives some revealing answers into who she really is.
According to IJR:
The first up close look at Mrs. Clinton left an indelible mark on public opinion. Two quotes in particular stood out among the rest, as recently noted by Politico. During an exchange with Steve Kroft, Hillary Clinton ran afoul of stay-at-home mothers:
“I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas,” Clinton snapped to reporters at a restaurant called the Busy Bee during a campaign stop in Chicago, “but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life.”
In the same interview, Mrs. Clinton also managed to offend feminists, although not enough to draw their condemnation:
“You know, I’m not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette,” she said. “I’m sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what he’s been through and what we’ve been through together. And you know, if that’s not enough for people, then heck—don’t vote for him.”
Another exchange not noted by Politico provided a further glimpse of the calculating mind of Mrs. Clinton.
Hillary Clinton’s past is riddled with corruption and if we would have looked for the signs from the beginning maybe we wouldn’t be put in this position today of her potentially being the next leader of our country. Let’s just hope that enough people have their eyes opened come election day.
