Clinton campaign vows to destroy Breitbart

Following Donald Trump’s appointment of Stephen K. Bannon, the head of Breitbart News, as his new campaign chairman, the Clinton campaign has begun attacks on the conservative news website.

Yesterday, the Clinton campaign sent out an email describing Breitbart as “a fringe website where there’s no opinion too ugly, too divisive, or too outright crazy to be worth breathless promotion.”

The email didn’t just condemn the site’s reporting, but claimed Breitbart doesn’t have the right to exist at all.

“Now, we’ve had a conservative media in this country for a while. I don’t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist,” said the email from Clinton’s deputy communications director Christina Reynolds.

“Breitbart is something different. They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They’re a different breed altogether — not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levels of power in this country.”
