by Tamar Auber | Nov 22nd, 2018, 4:57 pm
Turning Point USAs Director of Spanish Engagement Anna Paulina found herself quickly booted from the air Thursday morning after comparing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to herpes.
The exchange came during an awkward interview where host Rick Leventhal tried to prompt Paulina into talking about Clintons emails.
Instead, Paulina answered this: Id have to say, with everything that happened with President Trump and the border, you know the Dick Act of 1903 established the ability of the president to federalize the National Guard and basically call forth the National Guard in times of crisis
Leventhal then reminded his guest that he thought they were talking about Clinton and her emails before moving on to his other guest, political analyst Doug Schoen. Schoen talked on the right topic Clinton and her emails which prompted Leventhal to remark that it is amazing Clinton is still in the headlines.
That is when Paulina decided to join in.
She wont go away. Shes like herpes! Paulina interjected.
Okay, that is news that we are breaking here. Not appropriate, Leventhal said, clearly taken back by his guests words.
The segment then continued on without Paulina.
Later, Leventhal apologized for some of the language that was used in the segment.
Fox News also issued an on-air apology to Secretary Clinton.

They're trying to develop some plausible deniablity about their support of cheetolini.

escape from Donnie Rotten?

(6,916 posts)3. Of course Fox host was pushing "Hillary's emails"
We dont even remark on it anymore, but this fox segment was designed to get host and guests talking about something ludicrous: Hillarys emails. Last an issue years ago, and never important even then.
This is what propaganda looks like.

have said about her.
They know something we don't know.

I guess the news is that Ivanka was doing the same thing?
