Asked by host Chuck Todd to describe the “east coast freak out” among “the elites” over Clinton falling in the polls, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd replied on the September 18 Meet the Press:
“Well my friends, one of my friends, Leon Wieseltier, calls it a national emergency. And my friends won’t even read any, if I do interviews with Donald Trump, they won’t read them. And basically they would like to censor any stories about Trump and also censor any negative stories about Hillary. They think she should have a total free pass. Because as she said at that fundraiser recently, ‘I’m the only thing standing between you and the abyss.’”
