In reaction to Hillary Clinton’s press conference on Tuesday addressing her email scandal, CNN host Wolf Blitzer praised the softball question asked by a Turkish reporter about gender playing a role in the media coverage of the scandal as a “good question from Turkish television.”
After expressing approval of the question from Turkish reporter Kahraman Haliscelik, CNN’s chief political analyst Gloria Borger spun for the Clinton camp by predicting that the presser “detoxed” the scandal “a little bit” and defended her deleting of emails by saying she “delete[s] personal emails after I get them very often.”
Not to be outdone, fellow CNN commentator and former Clinton administration adviser David Gergen declared that “[i]t was an extremely interesting press conference” and suggested that everyone should “admire her bravado, the way she went through it with a smile as if she was enjoying herself” since she “hated every minute of it.”
