"I don't blame her for getting mad. The Clintons asks for a public hearing and they were denied a public hearing because [Republicans] wanted to do it behind closed doors because they were gonna get all of this great information. You can look at the tape, is there great information that came out? But if you leak a photo to social media because that's more important to you than adhering to the rules, then yeah, you are going to get slapped down like that."
"For the Republicans, I would say there are a lot of problems in this country, pick your battles, Perino said. This isn't one of them."
Hillary Clinton became upset during a closed-door deposition about Jeffrey Epstein and walked out after 80 minutes when Rep. Lauren Boebert leaked a photo from the hearing. Dana Perino defended Clinton's reaction, stating she had legitimate reasons to be angry. The Clintons had requested a public hearing but were denied, and the leaked photo violated the rules of the closed-door proceeding. Perino criticized Republicans for prioritizing social media exposure over procedural integrity. She advised Republicans to be more strategic about which political battles to pursue, suggesting the Epstein deposition was not a worthwhile fight given the lack of substantive information revealed.
