There she goes again.

Fox News headlines: “Hillary Clinton bashes Republican women, says GOP female president would be ‘handmaiden to the patriarchy.’”

The story reports:

Hillary Clinton took a swipe at female Republicans in an interview earlier this month, saying they would all be servants of “the patriarchy” if they became president.

“Well, first of all, don’t be a handmaiden to the patriarchy, which kind of eliminates every woman on the other side of the aisle, except for very few,” Clinton said during a May 1 discussion at New York City’s 92nd Street Y when asked by moderator Margaret Hoover what advice she had for the first female President of the United States.

Clinton pointed to Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski as one of the “few” women in the Republican Party she respected. Murkowski has been a strong critic of Trump at times, including when she voted to convict him during his second impeachment trial in 2021.

Clinton responded affirmatively when Hoover mentioned former GOP Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who endorsed Biden — and then Harris — in 2024 and helped lead the January 6 House committee investigation against Trump.

There’s more, of course. But let’s get to the bottom of what’s really being said here.
