How is she going to make lemonade out of that?
CNN host Don Lemon laughed after Hillary Clinton suggested that she is the most transparent presidential candidate in history.
CNN on Thursday morning aired an excerpt of a radio discussion between Clinton, Lemon, and NewsOne host Roland Martin on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
Lemon asked Clinton about former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s leaked emails that were released this week, some of which were critical of Clinton. The Democratic nominee responded by saying that she did not want to comment on anything related to Powell’s private emails, which came from his personal Gmail account.
One email sent from Powell to Democratic megadonor Jeffrey Leeds drew particular attention.
“Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris,” Powell wrote.
Lemon referenced this email and rephrased the question to ask Clinton what she would say to other critics who share Powell’s sentiment.
“I think I’ve worked very, very hard to be more transparent than not just my opponent, but in a comparison to anybody’s who’s run,” Clinton said.
Lemon could not help but laugh during Clinton’s response before proceeding with the interview.
