Odd rebuttal
From an Associated Press article:
In recent weeks, (former President Bill) Clinton and other party leaders have sought to frame Democratic concerns in religious language.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Bill Clinton’s wife, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., the party’s 2004 presidential candidate, recently criticized a tough Republican-backed immigration bill as contrary to Christian beliefs.
Republican National Committee spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt, in an e-mail, said later of Bill Clinton’s remarks at the dinner: “Ironic choice of words given that the senator has increasingly used her bully pulpit to launch personal negative attacks rather than talk about ideas to better our country.”
First, that's patently false.
Second, the story has an odd transition, meaning Schmitt could be making a more relevant rebuttal, but much of the story is about Bill Clinton, not Hillary Clinton. Why would Schmitt respond to Bill Clinton's comments by disparaging Hillary Clinton?
