MSNBC: Hillary Campaign “Pimped Out Chelsea”
MSNBC: Pimp My Debate
Fox News Embeds
by Aaron Bruns
Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson says he “can’t envision a scenario where we would continue to engage in a debate” on MSNBC — after correspondent David Shuster said former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton has been “pimped out” by the campaign.
Shuster was referring to reports that Chelsea has been calling uncommitted superdelegates to recruit them to support her mom; those unpledged delegates have become all-important in the Democratic race, since the two candidates have been splitting delegates pledged by state primaries and caucuses virtually down the middle.
Told on a conference call that Shuster had apologized, Wolfson said “I haven’t received any phone call. I’m not aware that the Senator Clinton or Chelsea Clinton have received any phone call. I’m not familiar with any apology. It’s the kind of thing that should never be said on a national news network.”
But Not The Guy Below
