Clinton Presidential Campaign Video Shows Hillary in Hijab

Kristinn Taylor Oct 20th, 2015 8:14 pm 67 Comments

Hillary Clinton posted a campaign video on Monday that shows the leading Democratic Party presidential candidate wearing a hijab.

Image via Hillary for America.

The forty-seven second video entitled “Leadership” shows Clinton meeting world leaders in various settings. Three of the seven scenes of the video that show Clinton meeting world leaders show her meeting with Muslims. One of those scenes shows Clinton wearing a hijab.

One scene shows Clinton getting the red carpet treatment in an unnamed Muslim country.

The next scene shows Clinton wearing a blue hijab on a 2009 visit to Pakistan.

The last scene shows Clinton walking with a man wearing a traditional Muslim white robe called a thobe.

There are no apparent references to any other religion in the Clinton campaign video except for Islam.

Ryan tells GOP he'll run for Speaker — with conditions

By Scott Wong - 10/20/15 07:53 PM EDT

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told the House GOP conference Tuesday night that he will run for Speaker if every caucus endorses him, according to lawmakers in the room.

Ryan made the pledge during a presentation behind closed doors in which he outlined how he could be convinced to run for the lower chamber’s top job.

He also gave House Republicans until Friday to rally around him.

According to a source in the room, Ryan told his colleagues, “I know this sounds conditional, because it is.”

After the meeting Ryan told reporters the while the Speakership has never been a job he wanted, he wouldn’t turn his back on his party’s leadership.

“It’s not a job I’ve ever wanted [or] I’ve ever sought,” Ryan said. “I’m in the job I’ve always wanted here in the Congress. I came to the conclusion that this is a very dire moment, not just for Congress, not just for the Republican Party, but for our country. And I think our country is in desperate need of leadership.”

A spokesman for Ryan immediately after the meeting said Ryan will only run if his colleagues accept him as a “unity candidate” who is backed by centrists and conservatives in the House.

“Unless the Speaker is a unifying figure across the conference, he or she will face the same challenges that have beset our current leadership,” Brendan Buck said.

He said Ryan “encouraged the members to discuss and consider his requests, and he asked that they make clear whether they support them by this Friday.”

“If the members agree with his requests and share his vision, and if he is a unity candidate — with the endorsement of all the conference’s major caucuses — then he will serve as Speaker. He will be all in,” Buck said. “But if he is not a unifying figure for the conference, then he will not run and will be happy to continue serving as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.”

Buck insisted Ryan’s comments did not amount to a final decision on a run for the Speakership but rather the Wisconsin lawmaker’s views on what it would take for the next Speaker to be successful.

Ryan has been under pressure to run for Speaker for more than a week after the surprise decision by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to bow out of the race to succeed Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who plans to retire at the end of the month.

He’s been reluctant to take the job for a number of reasons, including the toll it could take on his family. He told his colleagues on Tuesday that he would not travel for fundraising as much as other Speakers.

“I cannot and will not give up my family time,” Ryan told reporters. “I may not be on the road as often as previous Speakers but I pledge to try to make up for it with more time communicating our vision, our message.”

After Ryan spoke with his conference, there were some signs of members rallying around him.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who had launched a bid for the Speakership against McCarthy, said he would end his pursuit given Ryan’s willingness to serve.

“I’m out, and all in for Paul Ryan,” Chaffetz said.

Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), who chairs the Tuesday Group, indicated he and other centrists could endorse Ryan following a discussion among themselves this week.

“I could very easily support Paul Ryan,” Dent said.

But Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, said he wasn’t sure whether he would back Ryan.

“I think a lot of things have to play out first,” Salmon said.

In his presentation, as well as in discussions he held before the closed-door meeting, Ryan signaled that he wanted to bring conservatives into the fold, though not in a way that would cripple his ability to lead the party in the House.

In fact, Buck called for a change to the process for a motion to vacate the chair, which had been used as a weapon to threaten Boehner’s job.

“No matter who is Speaker, they cannot be successful with this weapon pointed at them all the time,” Buck said.

The steepest climb for Ryan will be to win the endorsement of the House Freedom Caucus, the bloc of roughly 40 ultra-conservatives who forced Boehner into an early retirement and pressured McCarthy to bow out of the race to replace him.

The caucus, led by Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), has called for the next Speaker to agree to a series of changes they want to see implemented, including a return to “regular order,” in which bills flow through the committees to the floor.

“He’ll have the same challenge the Speaker had: bringing us all together and trying to get those folks in the Freedom Caucus to support Republican bills,” Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.), a Ryan backer, told The Hill.

“I think he’s got the capability, the experience, to be a great Speaker,” Shuster added.

Ryan huddled with Jordan and fellow Freedom Caucus co-founders Mark Meadows (N.C), Mick Mulvaney (S.C.), Raúl Labrador (Idaho) and Justin Amash (Mich.) in his Longworth Building office before the full House GOP meeting.

Meadows said no specific proposals were presented to Ryan at the meeting and insisted his caucus was looking for concessions related to how the House operates.

“We’ve been consistent. It’s not as much about the who as the what. It’s all process driven,” he said. “Chairman Ryan is a very capable individual and certainly has great conservative credentials, so it’s really more about the process than about the person.”

Buck said Ryan had told his colleagues “that he encourages changes to our rules and procedures, but he also believes that those changes must be made as a team. They affect everyone, so everyone should have the opportunity for input.”

The House GOP has been in a state of turmoil since McCarthy’s decision, even as deadlines to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government quickly approach.

Conservatives over the last week have appeared lukewarm about Ryan, suggesting they would not back him for Speaker unless he agreed to significant concessions that would give more power to the House rank and file.

The right-wing revolt against Ryan, who has authored budgets praised by conservatives, triggered more debate within the party, with some questioning how someone with Ryan’s conservative credentials would not pass muster with some members.

In addition to the Freedom Caucus and Tuesday Group, Ryan would need the backing of the 170-member Republican Study Group.

Rep. Bill Flores (R-Texas) said he will ask the Republican Study Committee at lunch on Wednesday about whether they will support Ryan.

“My goal is to have a great Republican conference in the House and he can get us there,” Flores told reporters.

Cristina Marcos, Ian Swanson and Mike Lillis contributed.

Last updated at 9:05 p.m.

Here's the full statement from Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck:

Tonight, Congressman Ryan laid out to his colleagues why he believes we are in this situation and what he thinks is needed for us to move forward as a team.

He did not announce a final decision on the speakership, but he did discuss what’s necessary, in his view, for the next speaker to be successful.

First, he said our next speaker needs to be visionary: more focused on communicating our agenda and laying out big ideas. The next speaker needs to use the platform to create a clear policy choice for the country.

In addition, he told his colleagues that he encourages changes to our rules and procedures, but he also believes that those changes must be made as a team. They affect everyone, so everyone should have the opportunity for input.

As part of those rules changes, he believes there needs to be a change to the process for a motion to vacate the chair. No matter who is speaker, they cannot be successful with this weapon pointed at them all the time.

He also made clear that family comes first. And a successful speaker must be able to maintain a healthy work-family balance. Less time on the road can be compensated for with a greater focus on communicating our message to the public.

Finally, he believes that for the next speaker to be successful, we need to unify now. Unless the speaker is a unifying figure across the conference, he or she will face the same challenges that have beset our current leadership.

With that, Chairman Ryan encouraged the members to discuss and consider his requests, and he asked that they make clear whether they support them by this Friday.

If the members agree with his requests and share his vision, and if he is a unity candidate—with the endorsement of all the conference’s major caucuses—then he will serve as speaker. He will be all in.

But if he is not a unifying figure for the conference, then he will not run and will be happy to continue serving as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Chairman Ryan will make a statement to the press in CVC Studio A, following the conference meeting.

Biden contradicts Clinton's account of bin Laden raid decision

By Jordan Fabian and Amie Parnes - 10/20/15 11:17 AM EDT

Vice President Biden on Tuesday said he was not opposed to the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, contradicting his previous statements about a judgment call that looms over his potential run for the White House.

Biden said that only two of the officials President Obama consulted at the time — Leon Panetta, who was serving as CIA director, and then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates — gave definitive views on whether to launch the risky Navy SEAL attack on the compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

“Panetta said go, Bob Gates said don’t go,” Biden said during a panel discussion at The George Washington University.

“I told him [privately] my opinion that I thought he should go, but to follow his own instincts,” Biden said. “I never, on a difficult issue, never say what I think finally until I go up in the Oval [Office] with him alone.”

Biden’s account differs sharply from the recollections of Obama, Panetta and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom he would have to defeat in order to claim the Democratic nomination in 2016.

Clinton has suggested she was in favor of the raid to go after the al Qaeda leader and touted her role in the process while campaigning for the White House.

The account also runs counter to Biden’s own past statements. In 2012, the vice president reportedly told House Democrats he had advised Obama to hold off on entering the compound until there was more certainty about bin Laden’s whereabouts.

“Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go,” Biden told lawmakers, according to The New York Times.

Obama offered a similar account of Biden’s position during a 2012 presidential debate with his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney.

“Those decisions generally are not poll-tested. And even some in my own party, including my current vice president, had the same critique as you did,” Obama told Romney, suggesting Biden was against the raid.

One former senior administration official who was in the Situation Room for the Cabinet meeting said Biden was skeptical of the raid.

“[Clinton] was quite clear on when it came to taking a position from what I recall from the Situation Room conversations,” the former senior official said.

Another former official also recalled Biden being on the opposite side of Clinton.

“Secretary Clinton made her views known. Leon made his position known,” the former official said. “And I don’t recall the vice president sharing the same view.”

In his book on his years in the Obama administration, Panetta wrote of Biden being against the operation, and Clinton supporting it.

“Biden argued that we still did not have enough confidence that bin Laden was in the compound, and he came out firmly in favor of waiting for more information,” Panetta wrote in “Worthy Fights.”

The vice president’s office declined to comment further on his statement.

But former Obama chief of staff Bill Daley, who was present at Biden’s speech, backed up the vice president’s version of events, according to multiple media reports. Daley, who worked on Biden’s 1988 presidential bid, was in the Situation Room for the discussion about the raid but was not present for the Obama-Biden conversation afterward.

“I think the way he articulated it was absolutely the truth,” Daley said, according to The Washington Post. “I was in the room and I saw him walk out with the president. ... His explanation of that is absolutely on point.”

White House press secretary Josh Earnest stayed out of the fray. He dodged multiple questions about the veracity of Biden’s account, saying he would not comment on private conversations between the president and the vice president.

“I am going to leave the dissection and the oral history of those days to those who were actually there,” Earnest said. “I don’t have any new insight to share with you about the president’s recollection of those events.”

Earnest, who said he was following Biden’s remarks on Twitter, said he was “not particularly” surprised by the vice president’s account, but declined to elaborate.

Biden’s narrative of the raid on the 9/11 mastermind could help him counter criticisms that he was on the wrong side of a crucial foreign policy decision.

During last week’s Democratic debate, Clinton said she was “one of [Obama’s] few advisers” to offer an opinion on the bin Laden raid.

“He valued my judgment, and I spent a lot of time with him in the Situation Room, going over some very difficult issues,” she said.

The vice president’s comments came amid rampant speculation about his 2016 plans, with reports suggesting his decision could come any day.

While Biden didn’t provide many clues during the hour-long appearance with former Vice President Walter Mondale, he did use the event to draw distinctions between himself and the former first lady, and to tout his close relationship with the president.

He argued he would be best suited to work across the aisle with Republicans and carry on the legacy of Obama.

“I still have a lot of Republican friends,” Biden said, jabbing at Clinton’s remark during last week’s debate that she sees the GOP as her “enemy.”

“I don’t think my chief enemy is the Republican Party. This is a matter of making things work.”

Biden said he’s fond of former Vice President Dick Cheney, a deeply unpopular figure with Democrats, even though he disagrees with how he used his office.

“I actually like Dick Cheney, for real,” Biden said. “I get on with him. I think he’s a decent man.”

Biden, who ran against both Clinton and Obama in 2008, said he agreed to become the then-Illinois senator’s vice president because of their close personal relationship and their similar views on policy.

“It started off that I knew I was simpatico with the president-elect,” he said. “We had a genuine relationship.”

Biden said Obama granted him the ability to sign off on all Cabinet picks — implying that he agreed to allow Clinton to become secretary of State.

And he suggested he had the upper hand on Clinton and her successor, John Kerry, when speaking with foreign leaders.

“We’ve had two great secretaries of State, but when I go, they know that I am speaking for the president,” Biden said.
