Hillary Clinton tells heckling state representative: 'You are very rude'

During a campaign event in New Hampshire on Sunday, Hillary Clinton received a standing ovation after telling a woman — later identified as a Republican state representative — who repeatedly heckled her that she was "very rude and I'm not going to ever call on you."

Katherine Prudhomme O'Brien, who represents Derry, New Hampshire, told reporters she wanted to ask Clinton about Juanita Broaddrick, who made rape allegations against Bill Clinton in 1999, ABC News reports. During a question and answer session, O'Brien got up several times and started to shout at Clinton, but reporters in the back of the room said it was unclear if Clinton could understand what she was saying.

On Monday, Bill Clinton will campaign in New Hampshire on behalf of his wife. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump tweeted last week that Bill Clinton has a "terrible record of women abuse," and in response, Clinton campaign spokeswoman Christina Reynolds said "Hillary Clinton won't be bullied or distracted by attacks he throws at her and former President Clinton."
