Scarborough Issues Correction After MSNBC Gets Hillary Tape Facts All Wrong

MSNBC Gets Hillary Tape Facts Completely Wrong (Washington Free Beacon)

In a panel this morning, MSNBC got the facts of Hillary Clinton’s rape case completely wrong, forcing host Joe Scarborough to issue a correction in a later segment.

In the first segment, Ezra Klein said that the rape victim was 15. The victim was actually 12.

He and other contributors also failed to note that Clinton’s recent statements on the case contradict her comments in the 1980s.

In an interview Saturday, Clinton claimed she was “appointed” to the case. “And once I was appointed I fulfilled that obligation,” she said.

This directly contradicts Clinton’s remarks in the 1980s, uncovered by theWashington Free Beacon, where she said she voluntarily took the case as a favor for a friend. “The prosecutor called me a few years ago, he said he had a guy who had been accused of rape, and the guy wanted a woman lawyer,” Clinton said at the time. “Would I do it as a favor for him?”
