Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee for president, said Tuesday reporter April Ryan was "patronized" by White House press secretary Sean Spicer and called FOX News host Bill O'Reilly "racist" in a speech delivered at an event in San Francisco. Clinton said "any woman who thinks this couldn't be directed at her is living in a dream world."



On Tuesday's broadcast of FOX & Friends, network host Bill O'Reilly joked he couldn't take Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters seriously because he was looking at her "James Brown wig."



"Just look at all that's happened in the last few days to women who were simply doing their jobs," Clinton said today. "April Ryan, an immensely respected journalist with unrivaled integrity, was doing her job just this afternoon, and she was patronized and cut off as she tried to ask a question."



"One of your own California Congresswomen, Maxine Waters, was taunted with a racist joke about her hair," Clinton said, referencing Bill O'Reilly. "Too many women, especially women of color, have had a lifetime of practice taking precisely these kinds of indignities in stride. Any woman who thinks this couldn't be directed at her is living in a dream world."



"There's no place I'd rather be with you, other than the White House," Clinton told the crowd.









Clinton spoke about sexual harassment in one of her first public speeches since losing the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
