Clinton Campaign Pollster: ‘We’ll Have a Press Conference When We Want To’

It has been over 230 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference, and Clinton campaign pollster Joel Benenson got a little irked when asked about it today.

“She has answered hundreds, if not thousands, of questions from reporters,” Benenson said, while touting all the interviews she has done.

He dismissed journalists’ critiques as basically accepting the Donald Trump standard.

“We’ll have a press conference,” he concluded, “when we want to have a press conference, there’s no problem with that, but the American people hear from her directly every day.”
