Hillary Clinton As First Lady | Flashback | NBC News

[hideouseblob]

Back when Hillary Clinton only had 30 kills on her list

[shadows]

Gotta say, she's one incredibly tough lady.
Even Trump admitted that.

[lididuye]

When a woman is bold, they say she's aggressive 🙄

[daryllepedrosa]

We kinda did her dirty. The amount of misogyny is astounding.

[ghast]

“As a First Lady, She has too much power”
Well what do you expect, she’s not only First Lady, she’s also a politician, diplomat, lawyer, writer, and public speaker.

[dogboy]

Then she went into the pant suit phase.

[lostandfound]

"The powers she has.. bothers me a lot" * internalized misogyny *

[MaryLopez-bvks]

I didn't think I would ever say this.. but she kinda was slighty hot

[LorianandLothric]

I gotta admit, she was a babe back then. Too bad she started lying and turned corrupt.

[bryanalexismoya]

The comments really show that society is still uncomfortable with ambitious women. Men do exactly what she does and did and no one cares.
Even in this video, you'll never catch a biopic or a flash back video of men being called "ambitious".

[babylali]

So independant and powerful... and yet she hasn't divorced her unfaithful husband.. I really don't get it, the whole nation knew what he did. Gross

[mariamendez]

Hilary was gorgeous nobody can't deny it.

[ApoloniaJones]

Kills me - a trained lawyer, mother, and human rights advocate wasn’t allowed to try to reform health care, but Jared is qualified to broker peace in the Middle East?

[ceecue]

She's literally an evil genius from the movies that turns out to be the villain in the end.

[piehamcake]

wow people didnt like her back then either...

[internetwnkr]

One can definitely see her eyes changed after lewinsky.

[SquishyAcePilot]

Why does she remind me of Miley Cyrus? If there's ever a movie based on Hilary Clinton's life, they should cast Miley.

[winstonwan]

Bill Clinton is so lucky to have her as his wife who always support him, such a beautiful and smart lady

[linabean]

People will always find reasons to hate an ambitious woman:(

[thesonnystrait]

"I think she's a very aggressive woman and she's overly ambitious." Wow. I had forgotten how sexist this country used to be. I was trying to remember why people began to hate Hillary so much. Now I remember...more than the scandals (that went nowhere..except for the one we had no business knowing with Monica Lowinski)...it was that she was very vocal during Bill's campaign. I remember that, at least here in the south, they used to call her "uppity."
