Christian groups struck at Hillary Clinton’s campaign Thursday for a new purported email showing “troubling rhetoric” among her campaign aides. Catholic and evangelical leaders said they were outraged over “demeaning” words allegedly used in messages.
Dozens of religious leaders who signed the statement expressed their “outrage at the demeaning and troubling rhetoric used by those within Secretary Clinton’s campaign.”The statement is referring to a 2011 email between campaign chairman John Podesta, whose email was hacked, and communications director Jennifer Palmieri and John Halpin, a senior fellow at the liberal think tank Center for American Progress.
“I imagine they think it is the most socially acceptable, politically conservative religion—their rich friends wouldn’t understand if they became evangelical.” It’s unclear if Podesta wrote back or raised any objection to the exchange, but the religious leaders said in the statement: “Podesta’s refusal to raise any objection makes him equally party to this bigotry. It is inexcusable. It is shameful. It is un-American.” What do you think?
