After this whole issue has laid dormant all through this campaign, who tried to stir things up again?
It was a Washington Post (read: Hillary supporter) reporter, was it not? And why? Could it possibly be to take eyes off Hillary at a low point in her ratings?
But
Trump wouldn't take the bait. Instead, he turned it around to make this smear attempt turn out to be a brilliant PR moment for his campaign, leaving the egg you just mentioned all over the faces of a howling, hungry media hoping to make mince-meat of him at that "News Conference."
They tried for a cheap shot, and he stuffed it right down their throats.
