Hillary Clinton squirmed in her chair as MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell grilled her over releasing her speech transcripts during an interview on Tuesday. The Democratic candidate wasn't all that interested in answering Mitchell's query, preferring to dodge left and right and turn the spotlight on Donald Trump.
Mitchell and Clinton have been here before just last month when the subject of her Wall Street speeches came up. Clinton was perturbed at the insistence of Mitchell wanting to know what she said in those private moments for which she was so highly paid.
And now a month later, Mitchell still wants an answer. Here's a transcript of today's interview:
MITCHELL: What was in that speech that you wouldn't want to reveal to the people who are voting for you?
CLINTON: Nothing, and you know...
MITCHELL: So, why not just put it out there?
CLINTON: Well, because I know that others, including Mr. Trump, have made speeches -- Look at where we are: I've put out 33 years of tax returns…
MITCHELL: So, if he puts out his tax returns, you'll put out your transcript?
CLINTON: No, let's talk about apples to apples. And I know that Donald Trump hasn't put out any of his. Let's deal with the standards that have been in place for decades before we move on to new standards imposed on me and nobody else. So, let's get tax returns out. Let's get Donald Trump's tax returns and lets get the transcripts of his speeches because as I'm told, he's made a lot more money on a single speech than I have.
But look, let's talk about what people are talking to me about, Andrea, and what people are talking to me about is what's happening to them and their families and their lives. And I think I have the best experience, the best record, the best proven results, the best ideas, to actually make a difference in producing positive results for people.
Watch Clinton get real uncomfortable below:
The Freedom Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Therefore we do not endorse political candidates either in primary or general elections. However, as defenders of America’s social contract, we insist that the rules laid down by both parties at the outset of campaigns be respected, and that the results be decided by free elections. We will oppose any attempt to rig the system and deny voters of either party their constitutional right to elect candidates of their choice.
