Turning Point USA Staffer Apologizes After She Compared Hillary Clinton to Herpes on Fox News


by Tamar Auber | Nov 24th, 2018, 5:29 pm

Turning Point USA staffer Anna Paulina issued her own apology on Friday after she compared Hillary Clinton to herpes during a Fox News segment on Thanksgiving morning.

Paulina — who also decided to talk about border control in a segment that was supposed to be on Clinton’s emails — likewise suggested that goof was due to being placed in the wrong segment and the resulting “confusion” led to her herpes remark.

“Yesterday on Fox I was placed on the wrong segment & in the confusion made a brash and unprofessional joke. To Fox and those watching, I am deeply sorry,” she wrote.

She added: “My feeling simply is that Big Government creates dynasties like the Clintons that won’t go away & Americans are over it.”

Beware of right wingers being apologetic, it smacks a bit of the original Trojan Horse caper.”

Lil miss TPUSA thought she had a good nasty joke as a dig at the former SOS - whose shoes Anna isn't fit to shine - and it didn't get the reaction her rethug cohorts usually give her.

She had incredibly poor judgment. It showed her to be one hell of a partisan jerk. As said above, she apologized to the wrong people.
