Clinton Campaign Flat-Out Lying About Planted Questions
Here’s Clinton campaign Co-Chairman Tom Vilsack denying that Hillary Clinton knew to call on those with planted questions at a recent campaign event in Iowa.
TAMRON HALL: Senator Clinton herself said she knew nothing about this and promised it would not happen again . . .
TOM VILSACK: Obviously Hillary Clinton does not condone the planting of questions; she did not know that this young person had been given that question.
Also from later in the interview:
VILSACK: The senator has no idea in the hundreds, thousands of people that she’s talking to who’s talked to an aide and who hasn’t. She basically just tries to look around the crowd and and tries to answer a half-a-dozen or a dozen questions at stops.
The problem is that these claims from the Clinton campaign don’t quite match up with the reporting coming out of Iowa. From the New York Times:
Ms. Gallo-Chasanoff did not return phone messages over the weekend seeking comment. But the Grinnell College newspaper reported her as saying that the Clinton aide told her the campaign wanted a question from a college student, and that campaign staff members had prompted Mrs. Clinton to call on her.
Also from the Boston Herald:
Grinnell’s “Scarlet and Black” newspaper reported that a Nov. 6 event at a biodiesel plant student Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff was given a “canned” question to ask in front of the national press.
“One of the senior staffers told me what (to ask),” Gallo-Chasanoff told the paper, adding that staffers pointed her out to Clinton, who called on her after the speech.
A normal person would come out and admit wrong-doing in all this. Hillary would say that it was something they’d been doing, but in retrospect it was wrong and they aren’t going to do it any more. But since Hillary is a Clinton, she’s just going to lie right to our faces and expect us to believe it. Just like “I didn’t inhale.” Just like “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
Pathetic.
