Pro-abortion Hillary Clinton
On Sunday’s Face the Nation, Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, hilariously told CBS’s John Dickerson “no poll shows that voters don’t trust Hillary” despite numerous recent polls that show just the opposite.
Mook’s amazing ability to ignore reality came in response to Dickerson noting how even among Democrats “the biggest problem for her is trust, the voters and the polls have shown this. Voters do not trust her. How does she overcome that?”
After Mook claimed “no poll” shows Clinton to be untrustworthy, Dickerson explained that in fact the polls do show that the American public “don’t find her honest and trustworthy” which the Clinton campaign manager rejected and insisted once again “no poll says that.”
Despite Mook’s claim, several recent polls do show “new speed bumps” for Clinton including a new CNN/ORC poll that found 57% of Americans do not find Clinton “honest and trustworthy” up from 49% in March. In addition, a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll found similar results, with 52% viewing her as dishonest and untrustworthy.
Instead of facing reality, Mook went into spin mode and maintained “the central question in this race is whether voters can trust Hillary Clinton to be a tenacious fighter for them, to go to bat for them. To push back on this stacked deck that has kept the middle class behind and the answer to that is overwhelmingly, yes.”

Hillary Aide Denies Mook Lied About Her Untrustworthiness
By Mark Finkelstein
First, polls show Americans don’t think Hillary is trustworthy. Then her campaign manager denies that such polls exist. Then her pollster denies that the campaign manager didn’t tell the truth about it. Not exactly a formula to build trust.
On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough mocked Robby Mook for having, as our Jeff Meyer reported, denied the undeniable, claiming on yesterday’s Face the Nation that “no poll” shows Americans don’t trust Hillary. Said Scarborough sarcastically: “well, actually, yeah, they do. You have to respect him for saying they don’t.” When Scarborough confronted Hillary pollster Joel Benenson with the fact that Mook “didn’t tell the truth,” Benenson replied: “He did tell the truth. He got interrupted by John [Dickerson], who is a great guy. That’s the way these shows go.”
