Clift: Hillary’s Position Changes ‘Pretty Justifiable,’ Even If They Were Just Political

The Daily Beast’s Eleanor Clift argued that Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s position changes “are all pretty justifiable, even if you say politics is the only justification” on Friday’s “McLaughlin Group.”

Clift, in response to a question on Clinton’s changes in positions over the years, stated, “Well, she answered that question. She said, I am a progressive. I don’t take a backseat to anyone. ‘I’m a progressive who likes to get things done.’ Sure, she’s associated with her husband, and the Democratic Party moving to the center, and what we call Clintonism. And now, on a couple of issues, she’s moved away from that, just as the country has, or at least as the Democratic Party has, and I think her changes in views are all pretty justifiable, even if you say politics is the only justification.”
