Mark Halperin: Bill Clinton ‘Right’ About ‘Vast’ GOP Plot Against Hillary

[See NewsBusters for more.] Game Change author Mark Halperin agreed with Bill Clinton’s conspiracy theory that Republicans are engaged in a “vast” plot to make the e-mail scandal a major focus of the presidential campaign at the expense of actual issues. Appearing on Morning Joe, Monday, the Bloomberg Politics managing editor responded to an interview clip of Bill Clinton. Halperin asserted, “Much of what he says is true.” He concurred with Bill Clinton’s claims, saying: “There's a concerted effort to make this about her personal stuff and not let her talk about issues and it is a vast attempt by the right to do it.” (The use of the word “vast” brings to mind Mrs. Clinton’s warning of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.")
