This past Sunday, Hillary Clinton faced a loud and persistent heckler at a Derry, New Hampshire, campaign event, eventually dismissing the woman in strident fashion. "You are very rude, and I'm not going to ever call on you," Clinton declared, sparking a standing ovation from the crowd.

But some of the headlines around the event have minimized what the heckler (a Republican state representative, Katherine Prudhomme-O’Brien) was actually yelling about.

In statements to reporters and a long Facebook update posted after the rally, Prudhomme-O’Brien explained that she wanted Clinton to address allegations that Bill Clinton had sexually assaulted Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey. Broaddrick claims that Clinton raped her during his 1978 campaign for Arkansas governor, and Willey claims that Clinton fondled her breast and forced her hand on his crotch in the Oval Office in 1993, when she was a White House volunteer. Though Prudhomme-O'Brien didn't mention her, Paula Jones — an Arkansas state employee who sued Clinton for allegedly exposing himself to her when he was governor in 1991 — is often included in this list of accusers as well.

This isn't the first time this campaign cycle that a voter has confronted Hillary Clinton about these allegations. On December 3, a couple of weeks after Clinton tweeted, "Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported," a woman at an event in Hooksett, New Hampshire, asked, "Secretary Clinton, you recently came out to say that all rape victims should be believed. But would you say that Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones be believed as well?" Clinton replied, "Well, I would say that everyone should be believed at first until they are disbelieved based on evidence." The audience applauded:
