In a CNN interview Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton indicated that she didn’t know what the political “establishment” was.
After a CNN/ORC poll showed Sen. Bernie Sanders surge ahead of Clinton by eight points, 51-43, among Iowa’s likely voters, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer bluntly asked the former secretary of state if she considered herself to be part of the establishment.
“I just don’t understand what that means,” Clinton replied.
Watch the exchange.
Is @hillaryclinton establishment? Sanders ‘been elected to office a lot longer than I have’ https://t.co/LpkEx7wDV3 https://t.co/8dMIZfJhqT

She went on to say that while she only held an elected office for eight years as a New York Senator, Sanders has been sitting in Congress for 25.
She failed to mention that she also occupied the White House for eight years as first lady, served as secretary of state for four, and that the Democratic National Committee is doing everything within its power to see her become the party standard-bearer.
The nation howled over that one.
@FreeBeacon She is easily confused… per @HumaAbedin

@CNNSitRoom @CNN @HillaryClinton Yeah, except he is the longest serving independent in history. That’s the face of anti-establishment.

@FreeBeacon Hillary only understands what she wants to understand, everything else she lies about. It’s the liberal’s way of doing things!
