Hillary Clinton was at the YWCA in Manchester today giving a policy speech on the importance of supporting families (especially young mothers) and spoke about expanding the Family Leave Act. She didn’t take any open questions from the audience, but did shake hands with attendees after her presentation. NH Peace Action got two questions to her about nuclear weapons at this time.
Question 1: I’m five months pregnant and really appreciate what you had to say this morning. However, I’m worried about really large issues too, like nuclear weapons. Will you work towards the elimination of nuclear weapons as president?
Answer: Yes I will.
Questioner then asked: You’ll commit to work towards abolition?
Answer: Yes. I have an article coming out in Foreign Affairs that outlines what I will do.
Question 2: “Thank you for talking about supporting women and girls. Will you also support Iraninan women and girls by taking nuclear weapons off the table regarding Iran?”
Answer: “Oh yes, nuclear weapons are off the table.”
Edited to add: Senator Clinton’s staff denies she said the above quote.
