Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ripped a student reporter for making a “sexist remark” at an open forum with young people in Kinshasa during her tour of Africa on Monday.

Clinton became enraged when a university student took the microphone and asked former President Cliton’s opinion about the involvement of China and the World Bank in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to AFP.

“What does Mr. Clinton think about it?” the young man asked.

“You want to know what my husband thinks? My husband is not the secretary of state, I am. You ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I’m not going to be channelling my husband,” the Secretary of State — who has made women’s rights a top priority on the Africa trip — snapped.

Reports out of the Congo now suggest the translator who fielded the student’s question to Clinton may have got things mixed up — too bad the mistake wasn’t caught early enough to save this guy’s skin.
