The question that we have is, will it be the Hillary that leads the progressives? Or is it the Hillary that says, ‘I’m already going to win the Democratic nomination, and so I can shift hard right on Day 1.’ We can’t afford any more hard right. We had eight years of George Bush.

Citizens Untied: NBC, CNN Getting Millions in Free Publicity for Their Hillary Bios from an Unlikely Source – RNC Chair Reince Priebus
Just 32 months after the Republican majority on the Supreme Court struck down campaign laws could that had prevented Citizens United, an anti-Clinton lobbying group, from airing a 2002 propaganda hit piece against then-Sen. Hillary Clinton — and just nine months after a campaign in which the Citizen United ruling helped the Republican National Committee and others raise millions of dollars for Mitt Romney’s failed presidential bid — the RNC has executed a dramatic 180-degree reversal on its position against censoring Hillary Clinton film bios.
