Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina’s campaign passed up an opportunity to knock Hillary Clinton on Tuesday after the Democrat was responding with laughter to a man who said he’d like to “strangle” the former Hewlett-Packard CEO.
Instead, Fiorina’s campaign used it as a chance to attack the media.
A man at a Clinton campaign event Tuesday in New Hampshire told the former secretary of state that he was fired by Fiorina and wanted to “strangle her” every time he saw her on TV.
Clinton laughed and told the man, “I wouldn’t mess with you.”
Afterward, TPM reached out to Fiorina’s campaign for response.
Spokeswoman Anna Epstein replied with an email that only had a link to a tweet from Fiorina’s deputy campaign manager, Sarah Isgur Flores:
Let’s all watch @HillaryClinton‘s media lapdogs explain why this is ok in 3, 2, 1….#whatbias

Pressed by TPM for a statement about Clinton’s reaction, Epstein passed.
“That’s a response from our Deputy Campaign Manager about the video,” she told TPM by email.
Epstein did not immediately reply when asked if the campaign was giving Clinton a pass for laughing at the man’s comment.
Are the Teatrolls running for POTUS against the MSM?
Fucking absurd. Fact: the MSM is their proxy target bogeyman onto which they’ve projected all the pent up resentment and frustration, hate and anger towards reality for not bending to their will and obeying their ideology. After all, who could possibly be more at fault for reality’s recalcitrance…nay, outright disobedience…than the people who keep pointing it out?
It’s like watching people yell at the fire for projecting the wrong things at the cave wall.
The whole thing is a fake pie fight encouraged by a bored press.
Probably because too many ex-HP employees will come out of the woodwork eager to tell their stories to anyone who will publicize them.

[/quote] Yes. But they always have. Which has pushed MSM to constantly trade in false equivalencies.
Bet you a dollar Carly’ll say she saw a live baby getting eviscerated in the HRC video. “Save its brain!! We need the brain!!”
