A First Lady Unaccustomed To Playing Second.
TAPPER: Welcome back THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. Let's revisit our Politics Lead, interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters, former President Bill Clinton went on something of a tear yesterday in Philadelphia, defending the world as he saw it in 1994 when he signed a crime bill in to law. One that many now fault for the over incarceration of African- Americans. As it would happen, the next episode of CNN's "Race For The White House" Sunday night winds through Bill Clinton's wild ride to the White House and reminds us of Hillary Clinton's first step on the national stage. It's been 16 years since she last occupied the White House as first lady. Tom Foreman is in Washington. Tom, Clinton really changed the rulebook for first ladies.</s>TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: She opened the door for a lot of first ladies to do a lot of different things, but it was a bumpy ride -- Jake.</s>FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: And that is why today, I proudly announce my candidacy for president of the United States of America.</s>FOREMAN (voice-over): Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign barely had begun when white hot rumors of an affair erupted. And aside from the candidate, no one felt the heat more than his wife. For many Americans this was Hillary Clinton's first big moment, just 44 years old, on "60 Minutes."</s>HILLARY CLINTON: You know, I'm not sitting as some little woman standing by my man like many Tammy Winett.</s>FOREMAN: An avalanche of complaints came from Winett and legions of voters who felt she was insulting traditional marriage then it happened again just months later.</s>HILLARY CLINTON: I suppose I could have stayed home and bake cookies and (inaudible), but what I decided to is to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband with a public life.</s>PATTI SOLIS DOYLE, FORMER HILLARY CLINTON STAFFER: As soon as it came out of her mouth, we knew, she just offended half of the women in the country.</s>FOREMAN: Even staffers from back then like Patti Solis Doyle say it was a rough start.</s>DOYLE: I think it's really important for people to understand that this was the first time that she was under the glare of the media. Ever. You know, and that is hard for anybody.</s>FOREMAN: Perhaps it should have been no surprise. Hillary Clinton played an active role in her husband's bid to unseat the first President Bush. And she wanted a say in White House policy. But after the win, that spurred scrutiny uncommon for a president's spouse over her ties to the legal profession, a real estate deal even the suicide of a family friend.</s>HILLARY CLINTON: Thank you, Mr. Chairman.</s>FOREMAN: And when she took the lead on healthcare reform a firestorm followed.</s>HILLARY CLINTON: I have seen firsthand the strengths of our healthcare system.</s>DOYLE: No other first lady had done it before, but the amount of vitriol towards her did surprise me. It was visceral. The reaction was visceral.</s>FOREMAN: The initiative failed, but the lightning rod stayed and first impressions forged in the long-ago race is still making friends and enemies for Hillary Clinton.</s>FOREMAN: And to this day, Jake, as you know, there are plenty people who knew her then and now, some of which remain great, great fans and others who do not care for her campaign at all -- Jake.</s>TAPPER: Tom Foreman, thanks. Sunday night, at 9:00 Eastern and Pacific, the comeback kid takes on the incumbent on the next episode of "Race for the White House, Clinton V Bush." Be sure to tune in to "STATE OF THE UNION" this Sunday at 9 a.m. Eastern. My guests will be Democratic presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. That's it for THE LEAD. I'm Jake Tapper. I turn you over to Wolf Blitzer. He is in "THE SITUATION ROOM." Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.</s>WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: Happening now, terror captured two of the world's most wanted, they are now in custody suspected in the involvement in both of terrorist and Brussels massacre.
