Democratic party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has been heckled at a campaign rally by a Republican legislator who asked her questions about her husband, former US President Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual impropriety

The heckler, later identified as Republican State legislator Katherine Prud-homme O’Brien, has for years followed the former First Lady, peppering her with questions about allegations of past sexual misconduct by Mr Clinton.

Ms Clinton (68), who is aiming at becoming the first-ever woman President of the US and is so far leading the Democratic Party’s race, described the repeated disruption in her speech as very rude. “You are very rude and I’m not never ever going to call on you,” she said as Ms O’Brien was repeatedly shouting at the former secretary of state.

Following the event, Ms O’Brien said she was trying to ask Ms Clinton about her husband’s sexual imp-ropriety decades ago. “I asked her how in the world she can say that Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Wiley are lying when she has no idea who Juanita Broderick is,” she said. “I was a Democrat, but I be-came a Republican because of this...what I saw happen...the hypocrisy of so-called women who fight for women.”
