House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer gave a nonsensical answer Thursday when asked why Hillary Clinton is unable to “project” a “delightful” personality.

Appearing on CNN’s “America’s Choice 2016, referring to Vice President Joe Biden’s speech, host Carol Costello said, “There was one line that particularly stood out to me. He said you know, they call me middle class Joe. I know what that means. It means I’m not sophisticated. I know what it means, right. Why can’t Hillary Clinton capture just an iota of the essence of that?”

“Well, I think she’ll capture an essence of that. And I think frankly, the message yesterday was Hillary Clinton’s whole life from teenager to today has been working on behalf of the middle class. Now, Hillary Clinton’s personality is Hillary Clinton’s personality. When you’re with her personally, she is delightful.”

“Everybody says that,” Costello replied.

“It is the fact,” Hoyer replied.

“But why is she unable to project that when she speaks publicly,” Costello followed up.

Hoyer replied, “Frankly, I — maybe it is because I know her, therefore you know somebody and so the projection is you know what is there. And I think she’ll do that. But really, this is not about personality. This is not about how you project Donald Trump can be as bombastic as he wants and you know all that.”

“But so you say it is not about personality,” Costello replied. “But it really is. isn’t it? Of course it is.”

“I know what you mean, sure, yeah, you have to connect with people,” Hoyer replied. “And that’s why Bill Clinton is so–

Costello added, “Right. They have to trust you to fight for them, they have to believe you’re genuine.”

“Sure,” Hoyer replied. “But they ought to look at the facts. And that is what Obama said last night. That’s what Kaine said last night of Hillary Clinton. That’s what Biden said. And that’s what Bloomberg said. The whole pitch was, look, Hillary Clinton has done this for over four decades. This is not a speech for her. This is her life. This is her commitment. And frankly, that ought to count for something that you just don’t talk. You do. You do the walk.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
