MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle Goes At RNC Flack Like Face-Eating Badger

VIDEO

1thumbMSNBC dayside anchor Stephanie Ruhle is on fire this week. On Tuesday, she casually destroyed the entire premise of the Clinton Foundation “scandal,” and on Friday morning, she gave RNC spokesman Sean Spicer a Passion of the Christ-style beating when he repeatedly tried to change the subject away from Donald Trump‘s racism, and on to Hillary Clinton.

Ruhle was quizzing Spicer about the back-and-forth between Hillary and Trump over his courtship of the racist “alt-right,” and Trump’s random assertion that Hillary is a “bigot,” and each time Spicer tried to take her for a walk into the woods, Ruhle forcefully kept him on the path. The interview itself lasted nearly 13 minutes, but here’s the best part:

Stephanie Ruhle: Hold on. If you’re saying Hillary Clinton is pivoting I would like you to not pivot. Donald Trump called her a bigot.

Sean Spicer: i’m not pivoting. Hillary Clinton says a lot of things about Donald Trump. She puts out a video like the white supremacists and the KKK and then everyone says look what Donald Trump says. At some point some people have to look at what Hillary Clinton has done and said.

Stephanie Ruhle: Outlandish. For Rudy Giuliani to say “Google Hillary Clinton and health? That’s not outlandish? Please answer my question.

Sean Spicer: I am.

Stephanie Ruhle: Is that not outlandish?

As a matter of plain fact, the images that were featured in Hillary Clinton’s ad were of actual Klansmen and white supremacists who have endorsed Trump, in the act of endorsing Trump.
