Why, Hillary, why?
Via BizPac Review:
….Young supporters of the former secretary of state were forbidden from talking to the media at an Iowa event Friday night, earning the candidate and her staff some well-deserved ribbing by a panel on MSNBC’s “Up With Steve Kornacki.”
“Here’s what struck me when I read the coverage in the Des Moines Register this morning,” USA Today’s Susan Page began. “Jennifer Jacobs, who’s been on your show, was covering this last night. Big demonstrations outside of young people for O’Malley and Hillary Clinton. She went up to the Clinton supporters — these are protesters for Clinton — and they were told they were not allowed to [speak to] a reporter.”
…. “Now, why in the world would the campaign tell their own supporters who came out to campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton?” Page continued. “These are the young people, college kids, for Hillary, and they’ve been told they can’t talk to reporters. Why in the world would you do that?”
So staggering is her stupidity here. Equally mystifying is that her supporters do not grasp that they are being used stupidly.
Follow-up question to young Clinton supporters; Were you a member of your high school or college newspaper staff? If they answer no or if they don’t answer (because they’re not speaking to the press), just planting that question in front of them will have positive benefit.
