I tried to get the video to work at the link but was unable to. Maybe later as my computer is running slow today.
But below it says that Hillary's response was paraphased--and I wanted to hear the words. Love what she said (if indeed said it) to Andrea-rather a smack-down IMHO
PS-Also the Mediaite site is not my cup of tea many times.

Andrea Mitchell Really Wants Hillary Clinton to Talk About Megyn Kellys Menstrual Cycle

The Megyn Kelly/Donald Trump feud spilled over into the Democratic presidential primary campaign when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked to weigh in on Trumps barrage at the Fox News host. At a New Hampshire press conference Monday, Hillary immediately brushed aside reporters grilling about Trump, and instead threw hot coals at Marco Rubio for wanting to force women to carry and deliver rape and incest spawn. Those comments are getting a lot of attention, but very little attention is paid to the jaw-dropping questions that sparked them.
From the outset of the press conference, Clinton drew a contrast between Trumps offensive comments and the anti-woman policies being promoted by the rest of the Republican candidates, particularly Rubios opposition to rape and incest exceptions to anti-abortion laws, and repeatedly reinforced the notion that the latter are far more harmful than the former.
But even after this was covered in Hillarys opening remarks, and several previous questions, NBC News Andrea Mitchell still couldnt believe her ears. Mitchell pressed Clinton to reconsider the premise that forcing women to deliver rape babies is worse than being mean to Megyn Kelly. Heres Mitchells first question to Hillary, with the audio enhanced:
MITCHELL: Madame Secretary, regarding Donald Trump, this language was, you can disagree with Republicans on Planned Parenthood and a lot of other issues, but his language, how does that differentiate him from any other candidate, in either party? Is he qualified to be president of the United States? Hes still continually, hes not apologized, and he made reference today, again, to the bimbo comment regarding Megyn Kelly.
CLINTON: What part of you must carry your rape-spawn to term are you having trouble understanding, Andrea?

(16,104 posts)I was hoping to hear a Trump-like slam ("rape-spawn"?), and what we really got was vintage Hillary presidential exposition.
Oh, well.
The question is garbled, but her answer is clear:
