Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got angry at a young student reporter on Monday during her tour of Africa for making a ‘sexist remark’ at an open forum with a group of people in Kinshasa.

Hillary snapped when a university student asked what former President Bill Clinton’s opinion is over the involvement of China and the World Bank in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Hillary snapped:

“Wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not the secretary of state, I am. You ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I’m not going to be channeling my husband.”

Reports out of the Congo are now suggesting the translator who translated the student’s question to Clinton may have mixed up his words..Ooops!

Hillary has made women’s rights a top priority on the Africa trip.
