Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin said that Hillary Clinton is “going to be hit” for using the 9/11 terrorist attacks to defend her taking donations from Wall Street during the debate and she is “going to have to come out and clarify what she said and say she was sorry for it.” (VIDEO: Hillary: I Take Wall Street Money Because Of 9/11)
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” panel on Monday, Halperin suggested that on of Clinton’s weaknesses is “when she’s forced off script.”
Host Joe Scarborough said, “It is, quiet frankly, Hillary Clinton at her very worst.”
“She’s going to be hit today. She was hit today by The New York Times editorial board,” explained Halperin. “She’s going to continue to be hit by people on all sides. I suspect she’s going to have to come out and clarify what she said and maybe say she was sorry for it. She was forced off script.”
“And this is a testing now on national security for everyone running for president, and one of her weaknesses, besides having to defend the president, the current president’s record, one of her weaknesses when she’s forced off script, her vast experience on national security and ability to talk fluidly about the world comes undone sometimes, and we actually saw it there,” said Halperin.
