During the panel segment of CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, CNN political commentator and former Democratic State Representative Bakari Sellers (S.C.) complained that Hillary Clinton has been subject to "McCarthyite type attacks" during the campaign and particularly from socialist Senator Bernie Sanders over her close ties to Wall Street.

Naturally, Sellers made these remarks without a hint of irony that such a description doesn't measure up when one considers how she's given paid speeches to Wall Street firms and been riddled by a flurry of scandals ranging from cattle futures to her e-mail scandal over the last year.
