Washington
(ANI):
Actress
Natalie
Portman
believes
that
some
of
the
criticism
directed
towards
Democratic
Presidential
candidate
Hillary
Clinton
is
rooted
in
sexism.
"A
lot
of
the
stuff
people
say
about
her,
I
hear
it
and
my
stomach
falls
because
it's
so
sexist.
You
ask
people
why
they
don't
like
her
and
it's
because
her
husband
cheated
on
her!
That
was
obviously
not
her
choice," Usmagazine.com
quoted
the
actress,
as
saying
in
the
April
issue
of
Elle.
Feminist
author
Camille
Paglia
has
accused
Clinton
of
presenting
herself
as
a
victim
after
the
former
first-lady
of
USA
made
a
Clinton
surprise
appearance
on
Saturday
night
Live
(SNL)l
last
weekend.
On
the
other
hand,
'The
Other
Boleyn
Girl'
star
is
all
praises
for
Clinton
and
refers
to
her
as
"much
more
polished
and
experienced
than
anyone
else."
"I
also
like
Obama.
I
even
like
[John]
McCain.
I
disagree
with
his
war
stance
–
which
is
a
really
big
deal
–
but
I
think
he's
a
very
moral
person.
I
met
him
and
Hillary
on
the
same
day,
actually,
when
I
went
to
Washington
with
Finca
[a
nonprofit
that
gives
loans
to
businesswomen
in
developing
countries]," she
said.
She
added:
"Hillary
was
by
far
the
smartest
person
I
met
that
day.
Just
totally
focused,
and
knew
more
about
the
issues
than
anyone
else,
and
was
so
able
to
go
from
one
thing
to
the
other." Meanwhile,
Portman
isn't
the
only
star
defending
Clinton;
even
Eva
Longoria
emceed
an
event
in
Texas
for
the
presidential
candidate.
