ABC News Marvels at Hillary ‘Going for Gold’ With Her ‘Olympic Strategy’

All the networks in the “Big Three” decided it was time to move on from Hillary Clinton’s latest controversy on Thursday evening. And for ABC who only gave the story 38 seconds the previous evening? They were in awe of her campaign’s “Olympics strategy” for attacking Donald Trump. “Her campaign saying Donald Trump has, quote, “an aversion to the truth,” after he labeled the president the founder of ISIS,” stated anchor David Muir on World News Tonight with the on-screen headline reading, “Going for Gold.”

ABC’s Cecilia Vega seemed to have nothing but praise for Clinton’s attacks. “Hillary Clinton in a Detroit factory today, painting her opponent as an out of touch rich guy,” she reported, “Clinton blasting Donald Trump, even using the Olympics to take political shots, arguing Trump's ideas for the economy are based on fear.”

The attack Vega was touting:

HILLARY CLINTON: If team USA was as fearful as Trump, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles would be cowering in the locker room, afraid to come out to compete. Instead, they're winning gold medals. America isn't afraid to compete.

“Clinton's camp pouring more than $13 million into TV ads airing as America goes for the gold,” Vega continued as she dug into Trump, “The score so far? 56 million to zero. That's what Clinton is spending on general election TV ads. Trump, not a dime.”

Vega also seemed impressed with the fact the Clinton campaign was releasing her tax returns, saying, “Her taxes could come tomorrow, the 2015 taxes. Ten years’ worth from Tim Kaine too, David. They are definitely trying to push the pressure on here.”

This woman is delusional. Trump??? Fearful to compete? Huh? And using Phelps and Biles name, just to show she’s on top of the current events? ((Eyeroll!))

Al Gore did the same, money from one pocket transfer to the other.

Clinton Charity foundation, all only just benefits herself.

Sounds like some lapdog-leftist reporter was hard-pressed to come up with a new way to fawn over Hillary.

Hillary's in for a big shock.....b/c Bill has BIG plans.

Bill is pushing the feeble Hillary to run even though she's not up to it.

The Clintons plan to mfg enough fraudulent votes to put her in office.

Once she's in, Bill plans to declare she's not able to lead, has her committed........then does a Mrs Woodrow Wilson.

Bill takes over.....to national acclaim.

Keep in mind, Bill thinks he's "the most beloved living ex-president," and that people are clamoring for him to get back into the Oral office.
