The Clinton News Network is working to make Hillary look good again.
CNN edited Clinton’s Saturday night statement in which she referred to the incidents in New Jersey and New York as “bombings.”
Instead, the clip the network played on “Newsroom” made Clinton look as though she was taking a more cautious approach, and contrasted it with Donald Trump’s declaration that the dumpster explosion on a New York City street was a “bomb.”

In reality, Clinton opened her statement by calling the acts “bombings,” and then seemed to criticize Trump for using the word “bomb.”

“I’ve been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the attack in Minnesota,” Clinton said, referring to a knifing at a St. Paul mall in which the assailant allegedly shouted “Allah.”
“Obviously we need to do everything we can to support our first responders, also to pray for the victims,” she said.
“We have to let this investigation unfold. We’ve been in touch with various officials including the mayor’s office in New York, to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation,” Clinton said.
“And I’ll have more to say about it when we actually know some facts,” she said.
When she was asked about Donald Trump’s reference to the New York City incident as a “bomb,” Clinton said, “Well, I think it’s important to know the facts about any incident like this, that’s why it’s critical to support the first responders, the investigators, who are looking into it who are trying to determine what did happen,” repeating her previous statement.
