Hillary Shuts Down GOP Lawmaker: "You are very rude, and I am not going to ever call on you."

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/1/3/1465786/-Hillary-Shuts-Down-GOP-Lawmaker-You-are-very-rude-and-I-am-not-going-to-ever-call-on-you

By First Amendment



It appears that Katherine Prudhomme O'Brien, the NH GOP lawmaker screaming and flailing her arms in the video, has been stalking Hillary for several years now.

She tried the same stunt in 2007, during a Clinton campaign appearance.

She tried it again today and Hillary shut her down to the roar of the crowd.

Reading through many of the comments on her Facebook, her appearance failed spectacularly. Please feel free to express your opinion there, if you wish.

If Republicans think these garbage attacks on Hillary and Bill will work, they are in for a very rude awakening.

Prudhomme-O'Brien has for years followed the former first lady, peppering her with questions about allegations of past sexual misconduct by Bill Clinton. The state lawmaker's outbursts startled an otherwise friendly town hall audience. It is unclear whether Clinton was able to hear her comments.

After Prudhomme-O'Brien's third interruption, Clinton responded angrily: "You are very rude, and I'm not ever going to call on you."


DKos member Lysis made an excellent observation, in the diary comments, about Prudhomme O’Brien’s real motivation here. Thanks Lysis!


Apparently, someone thought to ask her if she'd be showing up at Bill’s upcoming NH events. She said no. Only going after his wife for his alleged misdeeds. Pretty revealing of her true motivations, don't you think?

O'Brien has a history of heckling presidential candidates. She boasted to reporters after the event about trying to ask Clinton about the issue late last year and the New Republic dubbed her "New Hampshire's Most Annoying Voter" in 2007 after she heckled former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Many in the audience were displeased with O'Brien after the event, complaining that she ruined the event and that she only heckled Clinton as a way to get attention.

O'Brien said after the event that she has no plans on heckling Bill Clinton at his two Granite State campaign stops on Monday.


Update:

Prudhomme O'Brien has decided to explain her decision to ask the question, in a long and rambling reply on her Facebook. If you like, please share your thoughts.

Her reply is right out of the GOP playbook to attack the Clinton’s.

a scene such she did today. I am sure you/I could find in a goggle search if interested --which I am not at the moment.
