“Broken promises?”

RNC chairman Reince Priebus: Hillary Clinton’s age & health are “fair game”

Hillary Clinton’s age and health status are “fair game” if she should decide to run for the 2016 presidency, the Republican Party leader said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“I don’t think there’s a graceful way to bring up age, health and fitness for a candidate who wants to be president of the United States,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus when asked about reports that Republican strategist Karl Rove claimed Clinton could have suffered brain damage from a blood clot two years ago.

“It was fair game for Ronald Reagan. It was fair game for John McCain,” Priebus added.

Reagan took office in 1981 at age 69, and McCain was 72 on Election Day in 2008. Clinton is currently 66 years old.

Priebus added that he isn’t convinced Hillary will run: “I actually doubt very much that she will decide to run in 2016,” he said.

RNC Chair Reince Priebus demands networks cancel Hillary Clinton documentaries

RNC Chair Reince Priebus has sent letters to NBC and CNN demanding recently announced films celebrating the life of Hillary Clinton be cancelled. The RNC sees the programing as a contribution of sorts to Clinton’s possible campaign for President in 2016. Clinton has not announced whether she will or will not run.

As a result, the Republican National Committee says they will formally bar Republicans from partnering with the networks on any primary or Presidential debates in 2016.

Priebus wrote to CNN:

I find CNN’s actions disturbing and disappointing. Your credibility as a supposedly unbiased news network will most certainly be jeopardized by the decision to show political favoritism and produce an extended commercial for Secretary Clinton’s nascent campaign.

And to NBC:

I find this disturbing and disappointing. NBC cannot purport to be a neutral party in American politics, and the credibility of NBC News, already damaged by the partisanship of MSNBC, will be further undermined by the actions of NBC Universal executives who have taken it upon themselves to produce an extended commercial for Secretary Clinton’s nascent campaign.

Republicans must really be afraid of Hillary if they are making such demands when Hillary has made no announcement on the topic.

What’s next? Anyone who might THINK of running, years down the road, cannot be profiled on TV? Ever?

Hmm….
