Mediaite reports:
During last night’s broadcast Fox News’ The Five, co-host Lisa Boothe tore into former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, claiming that she was so craven that she’d sell her only child to become leader of the free world.
As the panel discussed the latest developments in the Donald Trump Jr./Russian meeting story, focusing much of their attention on claims that Loretta Lynch allowed the Russian lawyer into the country for the June 2016 meeting, Boothe decided to take aim at former Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook.
“We’ve also seen so much self-righteous indignation to people that have no business being self-righteous,” she exclaimed. “I absolutely love the fact that Robby Mook is talking about this.”
Boothe, filling in for regular co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle, then pivoted to lobbing attacks at Clinton, arguing why she feels Clinton and her allies have no business being the “voices of authority on morality.”
“He literally worked for the most soulless person on this planet who would literally sell her daughter to be president,” she stated.
No, she wouldn't. I've never doubted & always known I was the most important part of her life. Now as a mom I'm even more grateful to my mom https://t.co/IZE4ZSUVOs

Chelsea Clinton feeling the need to respond to Boothe’s statement makes you wonder if she did so because there’s probably millions of people who believe Hillary would actually do such a thing.
