Clinton campaign got interview questions ahead of … Steve Harvey interview

This is almost a parody of paranoia, right? Free Beacon’s Lachlan Markay reported yesterday that Hillary Clinton’s team prepared for her appearance on a tough, hard-hitting interview show by getting the questions ahead of time. That tough, hard-hitting interviewer was … Steve Harvey?

The campaign memo reveals that Clinton’s staff worked with Harvey to craft the structure of the interview, and briefed the Democratic presidential nominee ahead of time on the precise wording of Harvey’s questions.

The questions touched on Clinton’s granddaughter, her preference for deep dish or thin crust pizza, her campaign’s “great start,” efforts to bridge America’s racial divide, and her support for gun control policies.

According to the memo, Clinton’s staff saw Harvey’s show as an effective and low-risk way to reach out to female and African American voters. They also noted recent episodes of the show that focused on issues that Clinton had stressed during her campaign.

Clinton’s staff pitched the show on some of those issues, including gun control, and noted that Harvey would not likely force Clinton to go into detail defending her positions.

“Please note that the tone of the show is generally light so even on policy questions, Steve won’t go too deep into details,” the memo noted.

And you think Hillary didn’t have all of Lester Holt’s questions in time to memorize her answers at the first debate?

Nothing would be better than on election night, having Steve Harvey say:

“And the winner is...Hillary Clinton!!!...

...wait a minute....”

I don’t believe the article.

It says she got the questions ahead of time.

She WROTE the questions.

They already alluded to the fact that Hillary is only doing interviews with entertainment figures rather than the Media.

She has decided to Bypass the Media altogether since they no longer matter as much as they used to.
