Hillary plays dumb on asking to drone Julian Assange: ‘I don’t recall’

When confronted about an alleged remark on using a drone strike to take out Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, Hillary Clinton responded with a non-answer.

In fact, she shook her head and said she did not recall any such remark as she attempted to get around the question at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

During a short press conference held in the Zembo Shrine in Harrisburg, the Democratic presidential nominee fielded a question about whether she had once suggested assassinating Assange.

“Did you ever joke about droning Assange?” a reporter asked.

“Well, I don’t know anything about what he’s talking about, and I don’t recall any joke. It would’ve been a joke if it had been said, but I don’t recall that,” Clinton responded.

In an announcement this week, the WikiLeaks founder promised to release new hacked materials relating to Clinton, while a blog post was circulated that claimed Clinton had once said, “Can’t we just drone this guy?” referring to Assange.

While an opaque answer given at a secretive shrine should not raise eyebrows in an election race that has been dogged with issues of transparency, social media users were still appalled at the spin and double standards from the Clinton camp.
