During an interview with The New York Times, Parton was asked how she felt about a female presidential nominee and her answer was very simple, "Hillary might make as good a president as anybody ever has."
"I think no matter if it's Hillary or Donald Trump, we're gonna be plagued with PMS either way - presidential mood swings! But I personally think a woman would do a great job. I think Hillary's very qualified. So if she gets it, I'll certainly be behind her."
"This morning while I was watching the news I saw many reports that I had endorsed Hillary Clinton," Parton said in a statement. "My comment about supporting a woman in the White House was taken out of context. I have not endorsed Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump.
