If there is one thing Americans have learned to expect from the Clintons, it’s honesty. Sure, there is substantial evidence that the Clintons have been covering up their emails, but that can happen to even the best politician every now and then.
And while Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager blatantly lied (not at all ironically) about the trustworthiness of Clinton, saying, “‘No poll shows that voters don’t trust Hillary,” all of us know that a Clinton is an open book.
In the latest in a series of extremely rare and out-of-character occurrences, David Martosko, the U.S. political editor for London’s Daily Mail, was prevented from pooling the Clinton campaign breakfast on Monday morning.
Spokesperson Sean Walsh said that Daily Mail is “seeking an explanation from the Clinton campaign as to why this occurred as Mr. Martosko was scheduled to be the designated print pool reporter in New Hampshire this morning.”
The series of events as told by the Daily Mail:
-Martosko was the designated print pool reporter for the day.
-Clinton press aide Nick Merrill offered varied and contradictory reasons as to why Martosko was being denied access.
-He was also denied entrance at the first event of the day, an early childhood education summit in Rochester.
-The pool had been formed at the request of the Clinton campaign, with one reporter traveling with the presidential hopeful each day.
-The campaign is not supposed to have a say in which reporter travels for the day, with the correspondents deciding the rotation.
-When he asked if he could at least use the restroom, the Secret Service agent advised that the area had been swept already, and suggested he “hit the woods.”
This morning’s events symbolizes just one more victory for democracy in America.
