Hillary Flack: Private Emails, Press Access ‘The Price Of Admission’ That Comes With Hillary [VIDEO]

Hillary For America communications director Jennifer Palmieri argued Monday that “issues” raised by opponents of Hillary Clinton are simply the “price of admission” voters must accept.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” Palmieri told panelist Nicolle Wallace that while issues such as the private email server and her dealings with the press have hurt her trustworthy numbers, Clinton is “durable.” Palmieri did concede, however, that the server and press interactions have not been “helpful” thus far in her campaign.

The former Obama White House communications director’s comments came after the campaign roped off reporters while Clinton walked in a 4th of July parade Saturday in New Hampshire.

“Do you guys worry about the hits she took to her trustworthy numbers after day after day, week after week about the story about the email server and what not?” Wallace asked Palmieri. “And I’m not asking about any single story, but all of those together, the “Clinton Cash” book coming out, the email server, the press access being limited. how do you, sort of — in the office at night, combat that?”

“So none of this is helpful,” Palmieri admitted. “But I think what we, you know — I think what we know is Hillary Clinton is durable, and we think that there is, you know, we’ll have to continue to work really hard, and she will work really hard to show the voters, convince voters that they are the person that — she is the person that they can put their faith in that will fight for them every day, that she will get the job done.”

Wallace then pressed the campaign’s communications director if Clinton should turn over her private server.

“We don’t think we have to do that. I worked for President Clinton for eight years. I’ve been in politics for a long time. I understand what comes with presidential campaign and particularly comes with presidential campaign with a candidate that’s been around in public service as long as she has. And there’s a lot of — she’s got great experience,” Palmieri said. “But with that comes, you know, comes a lot of issues that they can raise.”

“Baggage?” Wallace asked.

“I wouldn’t say baggage. It’s the price of admission,” Palmieri said. “It’s all right. but she is durable.”

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.
