Clinton Blows Up at NPR Host Over Questions on Her Support for Gay Rights

Clinton: 'You are playing with my words'

Hillary Clinton lost patience with an NPR radio interviewer who asked her several times to clarify the evolution of her views on gay marriage.

“Would you say your view evolved since the 90s, or that the American public evolved, allowing you to state your real view?” asked radio host Terry Gross.

Clinton at first avoided directly answering the question, replying, “I think I’m an American, I think that we have all evolved, and it’s been one of the fastest, most sweeping transformations that I’m aware of.”

“I understand,” Gross said, “but a lot of people believed in it already back in the nineties. A lot of people already supported gay marriage.”

“To be fair Terry, not that many,” Clinton insisted. “Were there activists who were ahead of their time? Well that was true in every human rights and civil rights movement but the vast majority of Americans were just waking up to this issue.”

Clinton continued to dodge the question with answers like, “Somebody is always first, Terry. Somebody is always out front, and thank goodness they are. “

But eventually Clinton blew up at the host, retorting, “I have to say, I think you are being very persistent, but you are playing with my words and playing with what is such an important issue.”

Although Gross protested that she was only seeking to clarify, Clinton snapped, “No, I don’t think you are trying to clarify. I think you are trying to say that I used to be opposed and now I am in favor and I did it for political reasons. And that’s just flat wrong.”

Clinton eventually admitted directly that she did not always support gay marriage.

Right, take note if you haven't already. She loses it when you corner her on a substantive issue.

Unlike her husband who was able to keep his cool publicly, she is vulnerable here.

I love it! That is how journalism is done! You make them squirm then you make them admit it.

She not only revealed her real view but also how thin skinned she is. Grow up Clinton. You’re nothing but a sad little pig.

Interesting.

Not that Shrilly blew up, but that the knee-pad media is asking the question, persistently, without lobbing softballs.

Are the wheels coming off the Democrat media oligarchy?

Classic. Even though she's leftwing through and through I've always like Terri Gross because her voice sounds like that of Barbara Feldon.

If you can get a copy .... and I think it's near impossible ... you should get her interview with Gene Simmons. It's a classic as well.

Terry Gross, stay out of Fort Marcy Park. Oh, and have someone else start your car for you every morning.

yes this could be her achiles heel.

The wheels started coming off the bus of her campaign last time, with her rambling disjointed incoherent answer to a question about driver’s licensesfor illegal aliens. Tim Russet asked her more than once if she supported that plan in New York, and she became testy and incoherent.

She couldn’t handle the nomination. Really. She is so thin skinned. She has anger bubbling just under her lying hide.

Well Hillary, let’s talk about who is playing with words...

Earlier today you used the term “immigrants” when you were actually ONLY referring to ILLEGAL immigrants.

Then, you pretended as though accommodating ONLY those who are currently in the U.S. ILLEGALLY, would have no effect on motivating an IMMEDIATE AND CONTINUAL wave of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

All the words in the title from “Up” through “Rights” are unnecessary.

She Who Must Not Be Named is the most ruthless and incompetent woman ever to stalk the halls of power. Never forget that she is a student and disciple of Saul Alinsky. She has used the Rules for Radicals extensively in clawing her way to the top.

Her ultimate goal has always been the Oval Office. Her boast of being “Co-President” was not idle hubris. When her legal career was thwarted after Watergate, she married into power, using William the Impeached as a stepping stone.

She then used the NY Senate seat as another springboard to power but was foiled again, this time by the Chicago Machine, who had already chosen Odinga to carry the party banner.

Examine her personality. She has the need to DOMINATE. It’s not enough that people obey her commands; they must be forced to obey against their will, or the needed gratification is not derived.

She is a compulsive liar. She is a consummate fraud. She is a lesbian with a deep-seeded hatred of the men who, in her mind, deny her her rightful place in history. Never again must she be allowed to approach the levers of authority, for that day will spell the doom of the Republic.

Next question:

“So, Hillary, when are you going to come out of the closet?”

Someone ask her if she realizes the degree of bodily and emotional damage that occurs in homosexual relationships.

Ask her to personally reconcile HER claim to be a Christian with the teaching of the Bible.

What amount of protection is she going to stand for when true Christ followers refuse to endorse sodomy? Does she embrace the courts forcing it down our throats?

Haha, I can’t believe a liberal like Terry Gross gave her a bit of trouble. Can’t wait to hear the exchange.
