Media Skewers Hillary For Not Taking Questions At Her Brooklyn 'Town Hall'
Townhall.com ^ | April 5, 2016 | Courtney O'Brien

Despite Hillary Clinton's holding what her campaign advertised as a "town hall" in Brooklyn, NY on Tuesday afternoon, the media had trouble referring to it as such because she fielded zero questions from the audience.

Perhaps Clinton had no time to talk to attendees because she was too busy criticizing and insulting her Republican opponents. She accused Trump of "peddling prejudice and paranoia" and called Ted Cruz's plan to surveil Muslim neighborhoods "shameful," "offensive" and "dangerous." She saved her praise for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio's effort to "keep crime down" and beamed about the state's new $15 minimum wage hike.

Interestingly, she went after Trump's abortion comments when he said women should be punished for having abortions if the procedure became illegal. Clinton denounced those remarks and told the audience that's what "all" the Republicans believe about abortion. (Not true. Some non-profit pro-life groups who are supporting Republican candidates have denounced Trump's comment.) Clinton offered her own controversial abortion answer over the weekend, claiming unborn babies have no rights under the Constitution. God forbid if that view represents all Democrats.

As long as Clinton keeps shying from questions from the average American voter, she won't have to explain herself.

Keep checking back to Townhall.com tonight for Wisconsin Primary results. If the polls showing Bernie Sanders with all the momentum are any indication, Clinton is in for a rough night.

She’s looking and acting angrier by the day. Just like in ‘08, the “inevitable” one again realizes that she isn’t.

I agree. She has to be realizing she doesn’t have it in the bag, hopefully she goes over the edge soon. :)

But it is OK to surveil Caucasian citizens all you want.

She can’t afford the risk. Too many have asked embarrassing questions lately. With more and more coming out about the FBI investigation, any future appearances will be tightly choreographed.

That will still hurt her because it will seem like she has something to hide ... which is the truth.

If she did take questions? They would be prescreened and she would have been prepped how to answer them. Only softball questions.

“She accused Trump of “peddling prejudice and paranoia”

She reminds of someone standing in a puddle of gasoline waving a lit match. She really doesn’t what she is setting herself up for does she.
