Why is the Clinton Foundation taking money from countries that treat women as second class citizens?

We learned that Tina Brown, a well known and outspoken feminist, punted on the issue.  She seemed uncomfortable tackling the stories about the Clintons and some of the countries who invest in their Foundation.
Amy Chozick of the New York Times reports that Republicans are highlighting that the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation “has accepted tens of millions of dollars in donations from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Brunei — all of which the State Department has faulted over their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues.”
Republicans are seizing on this issue in the hope of undermining Clinton’s reputation as an advocate for women and girls both at home and abroad.”
This is a fair question and every Democrat should be required to answer it.
Some of these countries are also very “gay unfriendly”.
Let’s hope that Hillary Clinton, and other Democrats, are confronted with these questions.
