Hillary Clinton's campaign has decided to delay a $63,000 ad buy on the Weather Channel after facing backlash for being insensitive to the millions of people in the path of Hurricane Matthew, Fox News reported.

That's deplorable.

Well, it's hard to find scum during the hurricane. Better to wait till things settle down after, when scum finally floats on calmer waters.
Awwww. Now isn't that sweet of her?
