I can't really imagine denying that point, as a liberal. I own it. We DO do that.
IMHO, most liberals wouldn't be a big fan of one of our candidates describing 'who she is' by starting out with 'well, first off, I'm a wife'.
Now, it might not be a 'big deal' to the majority of us, but it's still not particularly 'what we want to hear'. Deny it all you want, and say it's 'oh, that's just you Mr. L', but you won't convince me I'm wrong on this point, no offense
Did she overstate the point? Yes, a bit. Is she probably vote-pandering, hoping to wrangle in a few right-leaning indy types? Almost certainly. But it's not an invalid point.
Again, IMHO.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
