Hillary Clinton on Tuesday finally addressed the growing controversy surrounding her use of a private e-mail system while Secretary of State. After the Democrat's opening statement on the subject, NBC's Andrea Mitchell attempted a question. Clinton interrupted and turned to Turkish television. Kahraman Haliscelik began, "Thank you very much for your remarks and it's wonderful to see you here again." Offering this softball, Haliscelik wondered, "...If you were a man, today, would all of this fuss being made be made? Thank you."
