Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook suggested that branding Republicans as “bigoted and extreme” was in the long-term interest of the campaign, according to hacked emails released by WikiLeaks.
“I think we should just be clear about exactly what news we want to make,” Mook wrote as part of a June 2015 email chain between campaign staff discussing how to respond to Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s attacks on Clinton.
“Personally, I think branding the GOP as bigoted and extreme is more in line with our bigger picture, long term goals, so I would favor sticking with asking why they didn’t speak out against what trump,” Mook said.
Clinton staffers were discussing ways to push back against Bush’s using of religious liberty to attack the former secretary of state. Bush specifically attacked Clinton for saying if religious groups oppose progressive policies their beliefs “have to be changed.”
