Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, rebuked Fox News for its recent aggressive coverage of the former Democratic nominee, especially because he says she won’t run for office again.
“Fox is resorting to dredging up the ghost of Hillary Clinton, who is never running for office again,” Fallon told CNNMoney on Thursday.
Clinton has been a dominant focus of Fox News coverage this week.
Sean Hannity, a vocal Trump supporter, hosted an entire segment dedicated to the “Clinton scandals.”
Fox News spent more than 23 minutes to discussing Clinton throughout prime time on Tuesday, according to data compiled by Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog.
Fallon criticized Fox News for focusing on Clinton at a time when multiple investigations are probing Russia’s election interference and potential ties to the Trump campaign.
“[The Clinton coverage] shows how difficult it is to defend Trump’s conduct on the merits,” Fallon said.
