FACT CHECK: Top aide did not say Hillary Clinton hates 'everyday Americans'
Business Insider via AOL News ^ | October 11, 2016 | OLIVER DARCY

Posted on 10/11/2016 12:31:51 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

A top Hillary Clinton aide's email was grossly misrepresented on Tuesday morning and twisted to suggest the Democratic nominee had "begun to hate everyday Americans."

The false narrative was born when WikiLeaks published another batch of emails from John Podesta, the chairman of the Clinton campaign.

In one message to Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for the Clinton campaign, Podesta wrote: "I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I'm running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion."

What struck me about this was: 1) They are awfully fast at trying to counter the Wikileaks e-mails they think will damage her; and 2) By acknowledging this they are actually admitting the leaked emails are real!

True. But the Dems are, for once in their life, correct on this issue. We are burning too much time and energy pushing it.

I love how they are only releasing a certain amount of emails per day. It is keeping them in panic mode, it shows and it’s awesome to watch.

I’m sure the media would rush to Trump’s defense in a similar situation /s

Glad it has been 14 months since I stopped watching any media on TV - just wish I had done it sooner.

She hasn’t talked about being our champion recently. Did that wording not test well with her focus groups????

In this one case though I am afraid they are right. Yet they(Democrats,media) have been far more dishonest on a continual basis at altering the truth to fit there means. And they are willing to use any means necessary to achieve that.

Just confirms the her “deplorable” comments. I’m sure she does hate the average American.

It’s like I tell all my liberal acquaintences, if you loved W, you’ll love Hillary.

Of course they despised W, but what they don’t realize is that Hillary will just be more of the same.

Yeah, well, she also hates everyday Americans. Her “irredeemable deplorables” are proof if you need it.

Boo hoo. It's hurting Hillary!

Of course there is no need to clarify the difference between "illegal immigrants" and "legal immigrants." The media will just blur the difference to hurt conservatives.

So Podesta needs a Warriner’s to relearn the proper use of quotation marks? Perhaps he needs a copy of “Eats, Shoots and Leaves”.

Business Insider was the “insider” publication exposed earlier in these emails, so no surprise they are printing her talking points as if they are reporting.

While the context is not that she hated Americans the way ISIS does, and wanted to take a machine gun and start gunning everyday American's down, the context WAS that she should say a line that she would find corny about being a champion for everyday Americans despite the fact she had growing contempt for everyday Americans.

Bottom line: she is a fraud who is pretending to care about everyday Americans while she holds them in contempt.

They are awfully fast at trying to counter the Wikileaks e-mails they think will damage her

Especially at AOL 300 baud modem speeds.

Didnt read the article, but my take on this is that they meant she didn’t like the PHRASE, “everyday americans”. That’s what I took it to mean in context.
