When Sheriff David Clarke Calls Hillary Clinton 'Mrs. Bill Clinton' is it Sexist?

MILWAUKEE -- David Clarke, Milwaukee County Sheriff, is referring to Hillary Clinton - the Democratic Party's Presidential Nominee and a person who could appoint up to three Supreme Court justices if elected - specifically by her husband's name.

While opposing Hillary Clinton's White House bid does not mean one is sexist, (a reasoned argument constructed due to her long history of public service and decision-making from her time as First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and other public roles provides a factual basis to form a voter's opinion) there are many forms of sexism she has faced from more than 40 years in the public light.

The National Memo, a political website that concentrates on analyses and current events, compiled 40 years worth of interview footage into a 3-minute video in which Television Anchors ask Clinton a variety of questions - many that are cringe-worthy by today's standards.

Some of the interview questions Clinton has faced over the last 40 years:

1979

"One gets the impression that... you're really not all that interested possibly in state dinners and teas and garden parties."

1993

"Millions of other people see you as a very threatening person. Why do you think you are such a lightning rod?"

"What about the comparisons to Lady Macbeth—do you think it's because you're a powerful woman? Why do you think... where does that come from?"

1996

“Do you think the American people are ready yet to have a first lady who has strong opinions and an agenda?”
2008
"What can you say to the voters of New Hampshire on this stage tonight, who see your resume and like it, but are hesitating on the likability issue?"

2015
Meanwhile, "foreign leaders tried to decode what her hairstyles meant—one saying, 'if it's pulled back, get ready for bad news,'"
