Robert Reisch

Former Clinton Administration Economic Advisor Robert Reich came on Morning Joe and launched into a vicious attack on Hillary Clinton that rendered Joe Scarborough speechless. He pointedly corrected Scarborough about how long he has known her: Since her Wellesslly College days. He insisted on referring to her as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Apparently, there was a point being made? Was he saying she was an elitist? Was he saying she was a feminist? But the most shocking display of hatred came when he mocked her idea of a gas tax for struggling drivers. He called the idea, dumb and stupid, and said she "would not be President in the summer." He must have been struck by the silence of Scarborough that he quickly claimed "he was not here to bring Hillary down."
