Clinton Campaign Walks Back Her Claim That Trump Was Featured in ISIS Recruitment Videos
nymag.com ^ | Dec 20, 2015

Posted on 12/20/2015 8:47:08 PM PST by Helicondelta

In Saturday night's 3rd Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton sought to emphasize her line that Donald Trump has become "ISIS's best recruiter" by suggesting that the extremist group was using Trump in their recruiting videos, a claim which has now been widely discredited by fact-checkers and ISIS experts, and which prompted Trump to call Clinton a liar on the Sunday morning talk-show circuit.

As a result, Sunday morning also saw Clinton campaign manager John Podesta and spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri work to walk Clinton's statement back. Appearing on ABC's This Week, Palmieri said that Clinton "didn't have a particular video in mind"

Without Trump, what would all these talking heads talk about?

I despise anyone who mentions my lies.
Don't you know who I am?

>>>>Ordinary people "lie." Sometimes, they "lie their azzes off."

Hillary Clinton, however, "walks it back." She sends out a staff member to "clarify her remarks."

She is "taken out of context."<<<<

Screeching Hillary ping.

Susan Rice refused to go on the Sunday shows and push another video for her.

Are we sure Saturday night’s 3rd Democratic debate was not a really a SNL skit?

Why did they have to wait for this? The MSM moderators could have asked Ms. Clinton on the spot for proof. In fact they didn't even ask a single question about Ms. Clinton's outrageous statement.

And there will be no mention of this in the future. If this had happened in a republican debate the media would be all over it for the next 11 months.

I think no one “walked back” anything. The NYmag title is fiction.

If anything, Podesta doubled down and Palmieri avoided walking anything back, but rather she stumbled through her own version of rearranged clarifications, to replace the blow hard lie that Hillary obnoxiously delivered in the debate, in her best storm-the-beaches form that she could muster.

Yes. Wasn’t sickly Billy pictured as they were talking about fornicators along with other degeneracies of Western (de-Christianized) cultures.

It is true-—since Aristotle stated it-—that without Virtue, civil society will collapse. We know that the evil Cultural Marxists infiltrated all our institutions-—particularly schools in the 1930s to erase our Traditions and worldview-—to a “socialist” one which would embed vice and dependency and immorality and which would literally “kill God”—the Christian one in the minds of all the children..

It doesnt matter. She already got it out there and it will be continually be repeated by leftists. One of my liberal family kept repeating it at dinner tonight, even though it had been debunked. Damage is done.

Prevarications of PIAPS, Volume 47, section 102, subsection q, paragraph ....oh, crap! I lost count.

One way to tell that b*tch is lying. Check to see if her lips moved. Don't count out that she may have been studying ventriloquism to try to sneak a few more in...

She had all that practice. Her flunquis Susan Rice, and she herself went orgasmic over a false narrative they created about a stupid video to avoid a lie about Benghazi. The thing that needs to happen is for the families of the Benghazi fallen have to be put on ads over and over telling about the lie they were told by Hillary when their loved ones bodies were brought back to the USA. That Hillary knew it was a lie, and emphasize the fact that if Hillary will be our Romulus Augustus, and the barbarians will finish us off.

To see a foreshadow of Trumps handling of the beast, look at yesterday’s exchange between Trump and Stephanpoopalot. It wasn’t pretty, LOL.

If her gums are flapping she is lying- she would not know the truth if it bit her in the butt

Trump is good at branding. He is branding Hillary as “Liar.” It won’t be long before that’s all the average voter sees when he or she looks at Hillary: Liar.

Yep. A Liar and Tired. And should be in jail. All true, by the way.
