Watch: DNC Chairwoman Avoids Confirming This Ridiculous Clinton Story

DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz would not confirm Hillary Clinton’s claim that she tried to join the Marines, dodging host Andrea Mitchell’s questions and attacking her for asking about the story.

Mitchell asked Schultz “why on earth” Hillary Clinton would “go to a Marine recruiter” even though she was “actively against the war in Vietnam,” and settled down in Arkansas with Bill Clinton at the time.

“With all due respect, Andrea, why on earth are we talking about this?” Schultz asked.

“Well, because she brought it up in New Hampshire the other day,” Mitchell said. “If she hadn’t brought it up, it would not be an issue in this campaign.”

Schultz went on to extoll the significance of the story, which “illustrated […] that we have made a lot of progress in America.” She said that the story is “an important way” to spark a conservation about making “progress for women in this country.” (Read more from “DNC Chairwoman Avoids Confirming This Ridiculous Clinton Story” HERE)
