Here’s What Happens When A Reporter Asks Queen Hillary A Question

Font Size:

Don’t you know she’s running for president, you peasants? She doesn’t have time to answer questions that haven’t been carefully prescreened, from people who haven’t been carefully prescreened. Know your place.

Huh. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Hillary Clinton isn’t running against the Republicans. She’s running against the press.

Which isn’t a bad strategy. Nobody likes the press. Not even the press! And here she’s giving the high hat to Ed Henry, from the evil Fox News. This outburst of spite will earn her big points with her base. But I wonder what’ll happen when she tries this tactic with “real” reporters? Will they put up with it?

Of course they will. They’ll swallow their pride. They’ll grin and bear it. They’re stuck with her, and it’s too late for them to pretend to be reporters now.

They’ll whine about her stonewalling for a while, and then they’ll get back to work keeping the White House in the hands of the Democrats. That’s their job.

Right, George Stephanopoulos?
