Hitchens falsely claimed that Clinton "suddenly decide[d] that she's a person of faith"

SUMMARY: On MSNBC's Morning Joe, columnist Christopher Hitchens asserted that "[t]he Democratic candidates are all pretending to be as pious as they possibly can be," and stated of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton: "It can't be that she suddenly decides that she's a person of faith. She has never particularly mentioned it before." In fact, Clinton has publicly discussed her faith for years, including in her 1996 book and in interviews at least as far back as 1993.
