Clinton speaks on Wright controversy
Hillary Clinton is using the platform of "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Network to weigh in on Barack Obama's disavowal of his former pastor.
In an interview to air tonight, Bill O'Reilly egged Clinton on, asking, "Can you believe this guy?"
At first, she says she'll allow voters to decide on the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
But then she allows that she found the recent round of comments from Wright "offensive and outrageous."
"It's part of an atmosphere we're in today," shs says.
Clinton also says that Obama had to make his views clear Tuesday -- "finally" -- that he categorically denounces Wright's comments. She also repeated previous statements that she would not have stayed in her church if her pastor had made similar remarks attacking the US government and ascribing some blame on US policies abroad for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
