Friday on HBO’s “Real Time,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) called Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton “authentic.”

Boxer added that Clinton is an “authentically hard-working woman who puts up her sleeves and gets it done.”

“People say to me she’s not authentic. She is,” Boxer said. “She’s an authentically hard-working woman who puts up her sleeves and gets it done. She’s the smartest girl in the room.”
