In an interview with New York Magazine, Vogue’s longtime editor and chief Anna Wintour, was asked about how “Hillary balked at the idea of being Vogue” during her 2008 presidential run.
Despite being snubbed, Wintour announced she’s ready for Hillary. She said, “I hope so! Of course. Yes. But it’s only just started,” when asked if she would be supporting her in 2016.
When asked what issues she’d be most concerned about going into the next presidential cycle, Wintour said that she hoped “gun control” was at the forefront.
“And I’d like to see more conversations about gun control. We ran a piece in the magazine about Mark [Kelly] and Gabby [Giffords] but I think after Newtown, the country’s interest was so heightened that we all felt there would be a sea change in the whole issue and somehow that hasn’t really happened. Politically it’s very tricky territory, and obviously the NRA is a very powerful lobby, but I remember a 3- or 4-year-old getting their hands on a gun and shooting their mother and I don’t understand how guns could even be anywhere near a child. It’s just insane.”
Past editors of Vogue obviously did not feel the same as Wintour.
