Trump surrogate left stammering after her attack on Hillary for Bill’s affairs backfires

This is a journalist! Craig Melvin had Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Ruteledge on and asked her about Trump's attack on women. Ruteledge kept trying to pivot to Hillary's treatment of the women Bill had affairs with. Melvin kept pulling her back to the question he asked. Rutledge kept trying to pivot. Melvin kept after her to answer the damn question. It is a joy to watch an interviewer so clearly demonstrate evasion without ever saying so. And he even asked (paraphrasing here) Trump is on his 3rd wife, one of his main surrogates Rudi Giuliani is on his 3rd wife. Do you think that they are good role models for women?

Watch the interview at:

He's not exactly the poster boy for marital fidelity and dredging up a decades old affair where Sec. Clinton was the agreeved spouse seems both petty and mean spirited.

It should tip more middle class suburban white females into Hillary's camp, but it's still a nasty piece of work just like Trump.

Hillary didn't cheat..Bill did and paid the price.. All these years later they are still together...1st marriage/only marriage.. And then there's Trump...third marriage, multiple affairs, rape allegations, misogyny incorporated. Besides where exactly is it written that a wife has to make nice with the "other woman"?..Hillary is human, thank G-D.
