Hillary Answers to the Left on ‘The Rachel Maddow Show’

“Isn’t that pathetic?” Clinton said in an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Friday.

According to Clinton’s communications director Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton had her best fundraising hour to date yesterday between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, just as she finished her testimony.

Charles Woods, father of former Navy SEAL Ty Woods, shared with Fox News the diary notes he took after the September 14, 2012 ceremony when the bodies of the four Americans killed in the attack were flown back to the United States.

“I think people raise it…Because we’ve been in public life for so long, we’ve made a lot of new friends over the years…I am like the old Girl Scouts song – you know, ‘make new friends, but keep the old; a few are silver, the others are gold.’ And I think I have developed a real, you know, ear for those who are more aggressive in my defense than they may need to be or should be”. “I’m afraid that’s not necessarily what this particular committee is doing, but we have learned a lot from our previous investigations, and I’m certainly committed to doing all I can to make sure we do save lives”.

It could be because, as committee chair Trey Gowdy (R-SC) himself admitted, Thursday’s inquiry revealed nothing new about what happened on September 11, 2012.

The former first lady also defended her record on civil rights, saying the Defense of Marriage Act, which her husband President Clinton signed into law, was a “defensive action” to prevent a constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage.

Reacting to Vice President Biden’s decision not to run against her, Clinton told Maddow: “Well, bless his heart”. I ask because, though inquiring about her facial expressions throughout the 11-hour Q&A session seems like a silly question (because it is), everyone else seems to think it’s important.

“I had my whole team come over to my house and we sat around eating Indian food and drinking wine and beer”, she said. “And it is not an easy position to be in, and you have to try to think, OK, what is the least bad choice?”
