Overview

  • During a May 1 discussion at New York City's 92nd Street Y, Hillary Clinton described most Republican women as 'handmaidens to the patriarchy.'
  • Clinton highlighted Senator Lisa Murkowski and former Representative Liz Cheney as exceptions to her critique, citing their opposition to Trump and support for democratic principles.
  • The resurfaced comments, flagged by the Daily Caller and highlighted by right-leaning outlets on May 19, have drawn sharp reactions from Republican figures.
  • Lily Tang Williams, a Republican candidate, criticized Clinton on X, accusing her of hypocrisy over the Democratic Party's stance on women's issues.
  • The remarks echo Clinton's history of provocative statements, including her 2016 'basket of deplorables' comment, and underscore ongoing gendered divisions in U.S. politics.
