New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday that Hillary Clinton ahead of her run for president in 2016 is dismissing every critical report about her as illegitimate and “off-limits.”
“What we’re seeing consistently from the Clinton world is that there appears to be no criticism of her leadership, of the former president’s leadership, that is legitimate,” Peters explained, as reports Mediaite. “And that is going to be a real problem going forward because they’re basically saying ‘off-limits.'”
“Anything you want to say, anything you want to report about their background, you’re biased, you have an ax to grind, and you’re part of the vast right wing conspiracy,” he added.
Peters was specifically discussing the just-released story in The New York Times that spotlights details of the forthcoming book “Clinton Cash” and connects the Clintons to the Russian uranium deal years ago.
He called the new revelations “very much more serious” than those about Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail system or Benghazi, predicting that they will create a “recurring storyline” leading up to the 2016 presidential election.
