Mediaboss Marketing

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer went out of his way Thursday evening to air a Hillary Clinton campaign ad that compiled a series of quotes from and about Donald Trump to portray him as a sexual predator.

Blitzer tied the ad to a stream of insults President Trump directed at MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough Thursday morning. Trumps claim that he refused to hang out with Brzezinski shortly beforeNew Years Eve because she was bleeding badly from a face-lift earned especially sharp criticism in the media and on Capitol Hill.

Blitzer returned to the topic of Trumps tweets throughout the day, including while interviewing former Clinton campaign chair John Podesta about Trumps rhetoric.

Hes said all sorts of strange things tweeted all sorts of strange things as you well now there was that Access Hollywood video that came out right near the end. You guys put out an ad, a commercial going after him on all those statements, Blitzer said to Podesta. Let me play a bit of that.

The ad played for the next 25 seconds.

WATCH:

That clearly was not enough for you guys to win, Blitzer noted, What happened?

Well look we said that he was temperamentally unfit and unqualified to be president and he spends each and every day of his presidency proving that we were right, Podesta asserted.

The rest is here:
CNN Brings Back Hillary Clinton Ad Portraying Trump As A Sexual Predator [VIDEO] - The Daily Caller

The left has come up with a seemingly endless number of excuses and conspiracy theories, in an attempt to justify in their minds, how Hillary Clinton was defeated in the 2016 presidential election.

But MSNBC contributor and senior counselor at the Albright Stonebridge Group Wendy Sherman may have just come up with one of the more ridiculous excuses to date.

While discussing modern political technology at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, Sherman took the opportunity to weigh in with her absurd theory as to how Donald Trump achieved a historic victory at the polls last November. The former Deputy Secretary of State actually claimed that Hillary Clinton may have lost because Americans were not ready to elect the first woman president after electing the first black president.

And I hesitate to say, but I think its critical, looking out at our audience, looking out at most of us that there is no doubt that we just had eight years of an African American president is not a factor in all that we are experiencing today, Sherman commented.

When we make social change, when we make a decision to do something we have never done before, we then take two steps backward, at least. And I believe in my bonesthat it was pretty hard to elect a woman after we elected the first African-American president.

Yes, she actually said that.

Unable to cope with the fact that Donald Trump is President, some delusional folks on the left are still looking for any reason to explain what they believe to be inexplicable. And when all else fails, they just go with the standard racist or sexist excuse, even if it doesnt make any sense at all.

Sherman was somehow able to use anti-black racism as an excuse for why a white woman lost an election. You almost have to admire that.

Watch the clip above.

MSNBC Contributor: Hillary Clinton Would Be President If Obama Wasn't Black - Mediaite

I am tired of newspaper columnists, television pundits, politicians and Democrats themselves blaming the party for losing the presidential election to Donald Trump. They maintain that the Democrats didnt get the message out.

Hillary Clinton and her supporters were never clearer about what Democrats stood for. The party is and always has been for working families and good-paying jobs and against inequality, for making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, building a clean energy economy, combating climate change and the progressive goal of universal health care.

Those familiar with history can judge for themselves. It has been Democratic administrations that have turned the ship of state in those directions and Republican administrations that have attempted to sink the ship, and in many cases have done just that.

Those who are to blame for this dismal state of affairs are ignorant voters who cast ballots against their own self-interests, media seduced by an outrageous candidate who pushed ratings up, and misogynists who were threatened by a smart and accomplished woman. According to some exit polls, 53 percent of white women voted for Trump.

And, of course, lets not forget greedy Republican obstructionists.

Yesterday, the Cut reported that during a speech at the American Library Association conference, Hillary Clinton listed all of the books shes been reading with her unexpected time off since November, saying that besides for going on hikes and drinking white wine (relatable), shes been consoling herself by going back to the familiar experience of losing myself in books. As such, there are lots of novels and mystery stories and some uplifting poetry, all of which weve gathered below.

Steal Your Summer Reading List From Hillary Clinton - New York Magazine

Former Democratic Presidential nominee and Chicago-area native Hillary Clinton was in town yesterday and ate lunch at Tuscany on Taylor Street. Theres no word on what the former Secretary of State ate, as Gina Stefani is mum on the details, only writing that it was great to see Secretary Clinton and her friends while she was in town (yesterday). My family has had the pleasure to serve both the Secretary and President over the years when they are in Chicago. That relationship dates back several years. Phil Stefani catered Clintons 50th birthday party in 1998.

The tragic late-night car crash in River North where the passenger died and the driver later committed suicide has multiple ties to the local nightlife scene. Most notably, the couple was at controversial clubstaurant Bottled Blonde and other nearby bars before their crash, the Sun-Times reports. Also, the driver, Anthony Milder, worked at Underground; while the passenger, Alejandra Damian, had worked at Vertigo Sky Lounge and Cerise, the rooftop lounge at the Virgin Hotel.

DMK Restaurants is the first major local restaurant group to ban plastic drinking straws. All 14 of the groups establishments, including multiple DMK Burger Bar locations, Fish Bar, Ada Street, and Henrys no longer use straws in order to protect our environment, according to a news release and Crains. Multiple restaurants in California, New York City, New Jersey, Florida, and other countries have already banned straws, according to a Washington Post report. However, a writer in Forbes is skeptical about the motivation of some restaurants to ban straws and urges DMK and others to provide alternatives. The Shedd Aquarium urged restaurants in April to Shedd the Straw during an Earth Day campaign.

In more DMK news, County Barbecue is slated to reopen in August, Crains reports. The groups restaurant on Taylor Street has been closed since a fire in August 2016.

Residents living near 150 North Riverside in The Loop recently received mailed notices regarding the liquor application for Porter Kitchen & Deck. Thats a new restaurant Four Corners Tavern Group (Federales, Brickhouse Tavern) is working on with an assist from Hogsalt Hospitality. Residents have until July 26 to share any concerns with the citys business affairs department.

And finally, Heros, the more than half-century-old sandwich shop at Western Avenue and Addison Street, has been sold to new owners. Today is its last day under original ownership and new owners will take over on Friday. The change has caused such a stir in its customer base that it ran out of bread yesterday.
