(New York Post) – Hillary Clinton’s allies poll-tested whether voters would be put off by Barack Obama’s ties to Islam in the 2008 Democratic primary election, according to hacked emails released by WikiLeaks.
Specifically, Clinton’s friends sought reaction from voters to this statement about the then-senator from Illinois: “Obama’s father was a Muslim and Obama grew up among Muslims in the world’s most populous Islamic country.”
The revelation comes from the personal emails of John Podesta, a close Clinton confidant and now the chair of Hillary Clinton’s presidential election campaign.
