How high up the chain do you think they would have to run a letter like this to obtain signature authorization? This isn't a "thank you for your donation. With your help, I look forward to winning this election for all of us" form letter.

The distinction is irrelevant. It's on her letterhead from her office and her agents. She likely writes very few of her own letters these days, but I would imagine that she agreed for the letter to be sent.

Oh yeah, I'm sure. You think the chain of authorization runs all the way up to HRC. Get the frick out of here.

During the debate, or while going over the debate and preparing for a gala with her largest donors? Because that is what she was doing the 19th and the 20th.

Personally wrote her a letter as soon as she got out of the presidential debate and mailed it out immediately.


I can't imagine a better hokey story that politicians love to tell at debates than this one.


"Just today, my campaign was made aware of a young black woman in Louisiana who worked for my campaign, and is also an activist and contributor for the university paper, who was threatened with vicious vandalism and racial slurs because of her skin color and beliefs. Under Donald's presidency, this behavior would be commonplace."

That shite would be as gold as the writing on her door decoration.

Exactly. This wasn't a form letter. I would think that HRC would have to authorize it. Maybe she didn't write it or even read it, but I would think that she would know it's going out.

No way in hell. Her campaign probably sends a few thousands letters a day. I highly doubt she bought off on this one and had it sent within hours of the twitter post from Perkins.

So either before, during, or immediately after a PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE, she was briefed on and approved sending a letter to someone she never heard of, about something nobody has ever heard of....

less than 24 hours after she self reported it on twitter?

You think a presidential candidate working 18 hours a day to cover her arse is being bothered with this kinda shite?

There's no way you're this naive

There's usually "policies" in place for things like this regarding form letters. As long as no action is demanded and it's a simple note of thank you, sympathy, etc. anyone on that staff would be able to issue it.

dude i've worked on campaigns much lower than the Presidency with MUCH more ties to the area where a letter was circulated and the candidate had no idea the letter went out (his #1 did, though)

A few thousand original letters that aren't form letters? Every day? BS.

Only way this would have been remotely believable was if the letter was dated about 7 days later.

I bet they are keeping an eye on this just in case a trump supporter is caught.

dude the national HRC campaign gives negative fricks about anything in Louisiana

they have a bunch of important states they have to secure and have only so much time in the day. literally any time spent on this letter would be completely wasteful given their goals
