In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s campaign roping off members of the press at a 4th of July parade in New Hampshire, ABC’s This Week host George Stephanopoulos appeared on Sunday’s Good Morning America to proclaim: “...right now I think the Clinton campaign sees the press, in some ways, as their major opponent. They think that’s where a lot of the trouble is gonna come from.”

The former Clinton operative began by reciting spin from the Democratic front-runner’s campaign: “Well, the Clinton campaign had some fun with this. Nick Merrill, their spokesman, said, ‘The GOP may want to spin a good yarn on this, but let's not get tied up in knots.’ What they were saying is they were trying to make it easier for the press to actually be up on the parade grounds rather than in preset locations.”
