are you? they never heard back from her. >> hillary clinton now on the campaign trail, she can ride, but she can't ride from this. it's getting worse. this letter said specifically have you or any senior agency official ever used a personal e-mail account. simple enough. he didn't hear back. he reached out to the agency. and didn't hear back from them. they ignored the question. upon his inquiry there. and provided no response. so here we are, again, wondering, is it still a shield? >> maybe she deleted that e-mail she got from issa. >> she gets the e-mail, doesn't answer they ask about indirectly they gave an answer about just directly here's our policy and never said. one month ago we find out that hillary clinton was using private e-mail for the past couple years. my hunch darryl issa had a

for her. >> let me ask you this, the clinton foundation did take money from saudi arabia, kuwait quatar and more. known for their horrific treatment to women. i pose this question to you, jessica. is that standing with women? >> i think that -- you can't justify everything. i don't think that's necessarily right. they use the money for good things. but does it justify it, not completely. i think that i want to return to the point i originally made which is that republican talking point is she paid $0.72 on the dollar -- excuse me $0.72 for women versus a dollar for men and that's not what happened. >> do you believe? you have to look at the whole person and what they do. do you believe on one hand she can say i stand with women and open her hand and accept money from countries who are malicious in terms of their treatment for women? >> it's a black spot but we need to look at what she did in the senate. she was a co-sponsor of a

paycheck fairness act. these work in her favor and she's doing well with women and leading the republican field by 25 plus points. >> what it highlights is just how bad hillary clinton is. she says one thing and does another. this is someone that says she used a private server for convenience. we know that's not the case. this is some that voters cannot trust. we're seeing that in the polls in critical swing states. voters don't trust hillary clinton. i think the problem she has if she focuses on women's issues she will not only alienate the women voters, but she's going to alienate men let's face it women aren't single issue voters. we care about the economy, we want a candidate to be authentic. we care about a candidate we can trust. >> voters are looking for consistency here. we want to thank you both for joining us.
