“I recognized that there were many expressions of faith that I don’t agree with and feel [are] quite antithetical to how I read the Bible,” Clinton continued, “but I find it really challenging when people who are self-professed liberals kind of look askance at my family’s history.” (RELATED: Chelsea Clinton Answers Whether She’ll Ever Run For President)
