The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”

She may not be playing now, but I feel it's fair to point out that Hillary has played some stupid games - the American people reap the stupid prize.

Where did you get this information from?

[–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The original source is a verified, leaked email (dated April 23, 2015) from her 2016 campaign. The DNC plan was attached in the email and can be found here.

The specific quote is from Salon.
