Hillary Clinton Explains Why She Didn't Fire Campaign Adviser

Audio By Carbonatix

In a lengthy Facebook post delivered moments before President Trump’s first State of the Union address, Hillary Clinton issued a detailed explanation on why she didn’t fire a senior adviser to her 2008 presidential campaign after he allegedly sexually harassed a female staffer. 

In the post, Clinton tried to defend her actions, saying she understands why she's being asked how she could let the staffer "keep his job despite his inappropriate workplace behavior."

Clinton said she believes in “second chances” and didn’t want to completely terminate his employment.

Instead she demoted him and docked his pay.

She did admit that she probably shouldn’t have kept advisor Burns Strider on, though, saying “If I had it to do again, I wouldn’t.”
