Leaked Email Suggests Hillary Beat 'The Sh*t Out Of Punch Doll' Or Staffer To Warm Up For Interview

Hillary Clinton should “beat the sh*t out of a punch doll (or maybe a staffer)” to warm up for an upcoming interview, Clinton ally Neera Tanden suggested to Clinton campaign manager John Podesta last year, according to new WikiLeaks emails released Saturday.

“Have her beat the sh*t out of a punch doll (or maybe a staffer)…so she would be warm and charming in the interview,” Tanden, president of the left-wing Center for American Progress, wrote in an email to Podesta.

Tanden’s email is dated September 3, 2015 and titled “Ahead of Andrea – unsolicited advice.”

Tanden likely dispatched the email in anticipation of Clinton’s September 4, 2015 one-on-one interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.
