MANCHESTER, N.H. — Hungry voters standing in the take-out line Super Bowl Sunday at the Puritan Backroom restaurant, known for its world-famous chicken tenders, were in for quite a surprise when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton walked in.

LifeZette was there and nabbed an interview with the beleaguered and controversy-plagued Democratic candidate. When asked about why this election is so important for women, specifically young women, and what a Clinton presidency would be like for women, she didn’t hold back, suggesting she was channeling all female voters.

“Every issue that I care about, I know is something that the women I speak to, of all ages, also care about,” Clinton said. “I support paid family leave so that women, particularly young women, can better balance family and work,” she said, adding she would make sure health care is secure and affordable.

Clinton has made pandering to women a core tenet of her campaign platform. On Saturday, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was stumping for Clinton in New Hampshire, where she made a shocking comment.

“You have to help. Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember, there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” Albright said.

Hillary went on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” defending Albright’s comment and laughed when the host Chuck Todd asked about it.

Hillary dinerClinton couldn’t refrain from taking a shot at what she perceives to be a roadblock to so many women — legislative policies, undoubtedly the ones pushed forward by Republicans.

“I’m going to make it a high priority to really go after the issues that are standing in the way of a lot of women making the very best life they can,” Clinton said.

But Clinton, also a former U.S. senator from New York, has a less-than-stellar record when it comes to women’s issues. She advocates for policies such as equal pay, yet she has a history of paying female staffers less than male staffers. Clinton, the Left’s champion of women, paid her female Senate staffers 72 cents to every dollar that male staffers were paid.

While the race has tightened in New Hampshire on the Democratic side, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has been attracting young people to his “political revolution,” including young women — a concern to Clinton she was no doubt trying to address at the Puritan Backroom.
