Hillary Clinton did something she rarely does during a campaign stop in Compton, California on Monday: Take questions from reporters.

Reporters have been complaining lately about their lack of access to Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee in 2016.

You might think one of those reporters would ask Hillary about last week’s devastating report from the State Department’s inspector general, which found that Hillary violated government rules by conducting official business exclusively via a private email account hosted on a private server.
Or maybe about the ongoing FBI investigation into her email practices and whether she endangered national security? Or the fact that the IT staffer who built her private server is refusing to answer questions from investigators.
But that’s not what they asked her about.
A reporter just asked @HillaryClinton her thoughts on a crying female supporter who thought it was time for US to have a woman president.

Clinton's answer here was in response to a great Q from @tamarakeithNPR https://t.co/kwabcAGu7W

Anything on the inspector general’s report?
Not a single question about the State Dept OIG report during that Clinton presser. Pathetic.

Ok, cool. Good job, guys.
Bernie Sanders also took questions from reporters. What’d they ask him?
Sanders is asked by a reporter if it's "sexist" if he decides to stay in the race. Sanders irritated by the Q, disagrees w/ that notion.
