I'm going to keep talking about what I would do as president, the experience that I bring, the temperament and judgment that led President [Barack] Obama to ask me to be secretary of state after we ran a really hard primary against each other. It's funny to me, because when I have a position, whether it's first lady, or senator, or secretary of state, and I'm doing the work, I'm really quite popular.
Hillary ClintonBefore it was emails, it was Benghazi, and the Republicans were stirring up so much controversy about that. And I testified for 11 hours, answered their questions. They basically said yeah, didn't get her. We tried. That was all a political ploy.
Hillary ClintonBarack Obama is an incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, decisive person in pursuing the agenda he sets.
Hillary ClintonI am not going to let anyone into America who is not vetted, who we do not have confidence in. But I am not going to slam the door on women and children.
Hillary ClintonWhy extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me. But they all seem to. It doesnโt matter what country theyโre in or what religion they claim. They all want to control women. They want to control how we dress. They want to control how we act. They even want to control the decisions we make about our own health and our own bodies. Yes, it is hard to believe but even here at home we have to stand up for womenโs rights and we have to reject efforts to marginalize any one of us, because America has to set an example for the entire world.
