Hillary Clinton Cackles When a Town Hall Questioner States He Wants to "Strangle" Carly Fiorina

It's being mentioned on the news, the proof of which is that link right there, but there is no firestorm and no "lingering questions" about her failure to rebuke a questioner stating unpolitical things.

In fact, in this CNN clip, while they replay the exchange, they don't engage in any discussion of the issue. Which of course they would If This Were A Republican (TM). They only mention that "Republicans" are making an issue of it.

Not only does she not rebuke him, and certainly she does not denounce him, but she laughs and congratulates him with a compliment ("Ha ha ha, well I wouldn't mess with you").

By the way:

"Let's all watch @HillaryClinton's media lapdogs explain why this is ok in 3, 2, 1....#whatbias," Flores tweeted.

Fiorina herself failed to correct a voter in New Hampshire earlier this month who called President Barack Obama a "Muslim."

"He's a Muslim. He's a black Muslim," the man said, to which Fiorina responded, "Well, time to do something different in many ways."

The media was all over Carly Fiorina for failing to "denounce" this man, but shoe on the other foot, they have nothing to say about Hillary. In fact, in the video linked, they mention that tweet about the media not talking about this, and then simply say, "Well we're talking about it, so there."

But all they did was name-check the issue. Yes, they "mentioned" it -- and that's all they did. There was no heavy breathing about What This Might Say about candidate Clinton.

It was just a silly thing that happened, some nonsense they're forced to mention because Republicans are mentioning it -- not real news like Fiorina failing to rebuke a questioner who calls Obama a Muslim.
