MSNBC Host Can’t Believe Who Hillary Asked To Moderate Next Debate
George Stephanopoulos:
“You and Bernie Sanders going to debate in New York?”
Hillary Clinton:
“I’m hoping to. You know we offered dates which they refused. You offered, GMA offered a debate during GMA on Friday the 15th. I’ll be there.”
On a Monday episode of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski denounced Hillary Clinton’s decision to have George Stephanopoulos moderate the upcoming debate.
Mika Brzezinski:
“Wait a minute. She wants to do a debate with George Stephanopoulos as the moderator?”
Willie Geist:
“That was one of the proposed ideas.”
Kristen Welker:
“One of the proposed ideas. And I know that…”
Mika Brzezinski:
“Didn’t he work for her?”
Kristen Welker:
“Yes. And there was some speculation this weekend is that one of the reasons why the Sanders’ campaign is absolutely not…”
Mika Brzezinski:
“Didn’t he donate to the Clinton Foundation?”
Kristen Welker:
“Yes, he did. You are absolutely right.”
Mika Brzezinski:
“OK. I’m just curious. Are you kidding me.”
Kristen Welker:
“No, I’m absolutely serious.”
This information was exposed in part by author Peter Schweizer, who wrote a booked titled “Clinton Cash.”
The $75,000 donation was exposed in part by author Peter Schweizer, who wrote a booked titled “Clinton Cash.” Mr. Stephanopoulos stated: ”I made charitable donations to the Foundation in support of the work they’re doing on global AIDS prevention and deforestation, causes I care about it deeply.”
Mika Brzezinski:
“It appears the Clinton campaign wants to do either a debate that no one will see or a debate with a moderator that might not be completely fair towards Bernie Sanders.”
“Am I overstating the concern about trying to choose a moderator on GMA by the Clinton campaign that actually worked for the Clintons?”
