It’s now been 262 days since Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton held a press conference. Her next scheduled public event is in Reno, Nevada on August 25 where she is expected to attack the Alt-Right. As a result #HillarysAltRightSpeech has been trending on Twitter.
Last night Clinton made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she fielded “tough” questions like, “how great would it be if your first act was to deport Donald Trump to Mexico?” And, “are you enjoying being a grandparent?” Or this doozy, “Do you think Jeb Bush is going to vote for you?” The appearance lasted for less than 20 minutes.
Yesterday, we reported on “journalism” school professor Jeff Jarvis blaming the media for Hillary’s absence because they would ask “tough” questions. The theme for today was supposed to be the kind of softball questions Jeff Jarvis “journalists” would ask – but Kimmel pretty much covered it.
Here are some of the best questions/comments received yesterday.
James Taranto (@JamesTaranto) from the Wall Street Journal lit into @JeffJarvis for his hot take:

@SteveDietrich wants to know how the Clinton Foundation gets away with spending so little on actual charity:

@KelMcGuire333 has questions about Huma’s ability to get a security clearance..
@DustinStockton #HidingHillary Attys & Huma don't have proper sec clearances to read/act on emails. What about those "burn bags" per Huma?

… and @con_boethius wants to know who is giving Hillary fashion advice:
@DustinStockton 'Who is Hillary's fashion inspiration and why is it Kim Jong Un?' #HidingHillary

And then, there’s @Davis4_k who simply wants to know if Hillary’s ever considered just being honest:
@DustinStockton Has she ever considered telling the truth about anything? Ever? #HidingHillary #WheresHillary
