In the post, Clinton recalled sitting down to take a law school admissions test at Harvard. She realized looking around that room that she was one of just a handful of women taking the exam. As she waited for the exam to be administered, a group of men began to taunt the women, shouting insults like: “You don’t need to be here” and “There’s plenty else you can do.”
“One of them even said: ‘If you take my spot, I’ll get drafted, and I’ll go to Vietnam, and I’ll die,’” Clinton said.
Clinton’s appearance on Humans of New York comes a day after the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, Reince Priebus, was roundly criticized for his musings on Clinton’s performance during the forum.

I am calling b.s. on this law exam anecdote. Has this story ever surfaced before now???? I find it extremely difficult to believe that if this had happened to young Shrillary, with evil male Harvard students all jumping in to attack her prospects in the legal profession, that we would just be hearing about it now.
No doubt there were sexist remarks at times about women going into law and other professions, but the idea that bunch of guys on the verge of taking the LSAT just sat around attacking Hillary and telling her not to take the exam, and that the public is only hearing about this story for the first time in 2016, I say the b.s. meter is ringing off the hook.
Fullasheet, as usual.
Playing to the cheap seats.
“Humans of New York”?
Bloggers and researchers should jump all over this story and demand corroroboration. Has any version of this story ever appeared before?
I have never heard of this or anything similar.
Hillary would have sat for the LSAT around 1969. Has this story ever surfaced in the past 47 years????
I strongly suspect that this is another concocted anecdote by Hillary Clinton.
We need to get to the bottom of this, there would be many living witnesses if this actually happened.
Just so I have the timeline right, this was before the sniper fire but was it before or after she tried to join the Marines?
It could be PTSD, you know? After all, she dodged sniper fire, and all...
This happened right after Hilly Boo Boo tried to enlist in the Marines.
As she told it, the recruiting sergeant sternly informed her, “I’m sorry, young lady, the Marine Corps does not accept beautiful young women. Too delicate for combat!”
Oh, I’m sure the harassment was so bad she had dodge gunfire as she ran from the exam hall.
Deferments for law school had been ended prior to her taking the test. Perhaps she’s suffering from PTSD after that sniper fire in Bosnia.
To which Hillary replied, "Listen buster! I had to dodge sniper fire in Bosnia. I've earned my place here!"
This has been thoroughly debunked. The timeline is all wrong. At the time Hillary took the test, no one was either getting or not getting a trip to Vietnam based on the outcome of the test.
It’s another blatant, bald-faced lie. Quite provably.
The issue is not whether Hillary ever heard any sexist remarks about going into the law, I’m sure that many women of her generation heard them, although by the late 60s/early 70s around “elite” schools there was starting to be a ton of encouragement to women, too.
But the issue here is whether Hillary has once again concocted a fake anecdote to serve her campaign needs.
I strongly suspect that this story is total b.s.
Video, uh 8mm movie or it never happened.
did the earpiece help her pass the exam?
so clinton told the FBI 39 times she “couldn’t recall” or “didn’t remember” the answers to direct questions on events that took place within the past seven years but she remembers what took place almost 50 years ago with exhaustive detail? the only thing funnier is liberals actually believe this BS...
Who has the BS meter? Did she break it again?
before the Marines, too, she didn’t think of joining the Marines (allegedly) until she was already living in Arkansas.... at which time, as an extremely ambitious young graduate of Yale Law School her first thought was to put aside all of her legal training and seek to become an Marine Rifleman!!!
SHe is soooo full of b.s.
According to this article on Breitbart, LBJ ended all student deferments for graduate studies (except medical school and divinity school) in February, 1968, about 6 months before Hillary! would have sat for the LSAT.
Hillary is a documented and pathological liar.
The world knows this.
No one believes anything she’s says and she has only herself to thank.
yes, the Shrillarity has no recall at all on countless legal and national security facts of current importance, but she has photographic recall of ridiculous personal anecdotes that are alleged to have taken place decades ago!!
