MSNBC host Steve Kornacki pointed out that the same Hillary Clinton embracing super PACS is “the same Hillary Clinton who also says that one of the reason’s she’s running is to fight the role of big money in politics” on Saturday’s “Up.”
Kornacki stated, “Hillary Clinton taking a large leap this week, as the first Democratic presidential candidate of the super PAC era to fully embrace unlimited and untraceable campaign funding. She’s going to be appearing at super PAC fundraisers personally. This is something that Barack Obama wouldn’t even do in 2012. Now, Jeb Bush is the one who set the tone early in the season with reports that even the running of his campaign may be outsourced to his super PAC. A large part of the Republican field also relying on their super PACs in varying ways. So, Hillary Clinton this week jumps on the super PAC train, helping her position in the big money game. So, that is a check mark for her there, though it does come with a catch. Because this is the same Hillary Clinton, the one who is now fully embracing super PACs in her bid for the White House, this is the same Hillary Clinton who also says that one of the reason’s she’s running is to fight the role of big money in politics.”
