The article mentions two instances where Clinton received questions before a public appearance, yet in both appearances those questions weren't asked. I think we need some more evidence before pitchforks come out.
- mcphilip 10y agoYou are incorrect. From Bloomberg: >A day before the March 6 debate sponsored by CNN in Flint, Brazile allegedly wrote Podesta and Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaign’s communications director, that a woman from the town “has lead poison and she will ask what, if anything, will Hillary do as president to help the ppl of Flint.” During the town hall, Lee-Anne Walters, who had a son who had stopped growing and a daughter who lost her hair, asked Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, her primary rival, whether they would “make a personal promise” to make the removal of lead a requirement for public waters in their first 100 days in office, according to transcripts of the debate provided by CNN. Both did.
- cloudwalking 10y agoSorry, I didn't read Bloomberg. I read the Washington Post article which is linked here. I think it's also worth considering that given both candidates were talking to people in Flint, of course they are thinking before hand about the problems in Flint and how they would address them. What else would they talk about?
- Natsu 10y agoThe Washington Post is a very partisan source this election, given that they appear to have been things like holding illegal fundraisers with the DNC: http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/wikileaks-emails-clinton-bernie-list-directory-photos-most-damaging-worst-rhode-island-delegate-fec-jvf/3/ http://heavy.com/news/2016/07/wikileaks-emails-clinton-berni...
