So much for Hillary Clinton casting herself as a woman of the people.
According to Associated Press reporter Julie Pace, the small events that have made up the bulk of Hillary’s presidential campaign thus far have involved the Democratic candidate only interacting with Americans who support her and not a more representative fraction of the actual U.S. population.
“The campaign is saying that they’re doing small events, they’re putting her in settings where she can be having a conversation,” Pace, who followed Clinton to Iowa this week, explained on CNN’s Inside Politics Friday. “But, I think it’s important for the public to understand what these conversations really are.”
“These are with preselected, prescreened supporters, mainly,” the AP scribe clarified. “I was at a conversation she was having with small business owners. Everyone around the table was very supportive of her agenda.”
Pace then challenged Clinton to “actually get a diversity of opinion” in these small events, which would undoubtedly involve scrapping the “prescreening” process in which Hillary’s staffers are currently engaging to ensure that she isn’t spontaneously confronted with negative feedback or opinion.
