Following former President Bill Clinton’s first 2016 campaign events on Monday for wife Hillary, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC proclaimed that Hillary’s use of her “secret” and “most potent” weapon as a surrogate in New Hampshire was “a decisive moment” of this election season.

At the top of NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt explained that the person the former secretary of state “calls both husband and her not so secret weapon has been launched on to the campaign trail” while Clinton campaign correspondent Andrea Mitchell cheered Bill Clinton telling patrons at a Manchester restaurant that he wanted french fries in what she diagnosed as a nod to a Saturday Night Live skit of Clinton in 1992.
