You know who has just skated though life under the radar? Hillary Clinton. We’re completely ignorant of whole swaths of her life! The world is clamoring to know: Just what was her second grade summer vacation essay really about? And what was the name of that pony she doodled on the edge of that one notebook? Satan? It was probably Satan.
Well, she’s not going to be able to completely hide from the media now!
Asked by MSNBC’s Tamron Hall if Trump was looking forward to a head-to-head matchup against Clinton in the fall, Katrina Pierson replied, “Oh, absolutely. Mainly because Hillary Clinton has never been truly vetted before. Particularly by the media.”
After Hall expressed skepticism, Pierson repeated, “Never been truly vetted before.”
“I just want to make sure that we're clear on this," Hall replied. "The former secretary of state, you talk about the money spent against Donald Trump to perhaps demonize him. The millions of dollars that have been spent against the Clintons, both as a first lady and the secretary of state and a senator for the state of New York, which she has received contributions from your candidate, that this—that Hillary Clinton has not been properly vetted?”
“No,” Pierson responded, arguing that a younger generation of voters was unfamiliar with the ins and outs of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s White House years.
So the idea of vetting Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election will be: Let’s do a repeat of all the baseless charges leveled against both Hillary and Bill in the 1990s, even though all those charges turned out to be more fantastical than Trump’s supposed worth, because Pierson wasn’t paying attention at the time. Can everyone who was awake in 1996 get to vote on that?
Pierson also suggested that Clinton’s role in responding to the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya had not been sufficiently investigated, although Clinton testified about the attacks before a Republican-led congressional committee for 11 hours in October.
Because, sure. We’re only on the eighth Benghazi committee, and that committee has only been running longer than the committee that investigated 9/11—and the Warren Commission.
