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

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"

That how they say they lied? “Walks back”?

False narrative that something we could do (like elected the Kenyan in Chief, for example) will make these people want to do anything other than chop our heads off is absurd.

Ordinary people "lie." Sometimes, they "lie their asses off."

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

She is "taken out of context."

She’s trying to get ahead of the excrement-storm that’s coming when Trump and Rush take off on the fact that her own “husband” is featured in an ISIS recruiting video.

LOL....I bet that she is quaking in her pants suit, thinking that Trump is going to beat her over the head with her statement.

IIRC, this is the ONLY time that Hillary has EVER walked back any statement of hers.

Ms. Clinton alleges Trump is in ISIS recruiting videos, a claim which has now been widely discredited by fact-checkers.

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.

The evil Hildabeast will do and say anything to become president. So she lied,so what? That is par for the course for this Machiavellian Alinskyite. May her cankles explode while on the toilet. Go home to Jennifer Flowers or Huma or whomever you are sharing your bed with Hildabeast, you will never be president, ever.

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.

Hillary is stunned. After all in her mind the yarn that Benghazi was caused by an anti Muslim video worked well. Why wouldn’t a video yarn involving Trump not work?

It isn’t Trump in recruiting videos. It is Obama and Bill Clinton.
