CNN's Poppy Harlow asked Ginsburg at an event at Columbia University Sunday to clarify her comments last year that sexism was a “major factor” in the election.

“I think it was difficult for Hillary Clinton to get by the macho atmosphere prevailing during that campaign, and she was criticized in a way I think no men would have been criticized,” Ginsburg said.

“I think anyone who watched that campaign unfold would answer the same way I did, yes that sexism played a prominent part,” she continued.

Harlow then asked the justice if the U.S. wasn’t ready for a female president.

“I think we were and will be the next time,” Ginsburg said.
