New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore launched an evidence-free attack on Hillary Clinton, claiming that the former Secretary of State “strikes many voters as disingenuous and perhaps unethical,” a completely uncorroborated claim that is nothing more than a warmed over rehash of stock Clinton smears.
“The apotheosis of Hillary Clinton is not inevitable,” Lepore wrote on her New Yorker blog.
She continued:
She is an accomplished diplomat, a seasoned campaigner, and a formidable fund-raiser. But she strikes many voters as disingenuous and perhaps unethical, concerns that will probably be aired again as some thirty thousand pages of documents from the Clinton presidential library are beginning to be made public--more than a year after legal restrictions on the release of Presidential records expired.
Note that Lepore offered no evidence to support her claim. It's a serious accusation. Who are the “many voters” who find Clinton “disingenuous and perhaps unethical”? Lepore, a historian, should have the goods to back up such a charge.
