In an email released by the State Department, John Podesta blasts David Axelrod for totally caving “in to right wing economics.” Podesta, who is currently chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, was speaking ill of Obama’s top political adviser in private emails with Clinton aides.
“At least David has his principles in tact like he won’t be for small things like school uniforms–only big things like totally caving in to right wing economics,” Podesta wrote. “Unbelievable.”
The message was sent to longtime adviser Neera Tanden, chief of staff Cheryl Mills, and Doug Band, President Bill Clinton’s longtime body man.
Cheryl Mills forwarded the exchange, which includes a Huffington Post article titled, “White House Gives In On Bush Tax Cuts,” to her boss, Hillary Clinton.
