Hillary clears things up on KDKA

March 25, 2008 Off By Eric O'Brien

Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton told KDKA’s Larry Richert that she misspoke last week when she said she dodged sniper fire during a goodwill trip to Bosnia in March 1996.

During the 10-minute interview this morning – the first given to Pittsburgh media before the April 22 primary – the Senator said, “I have written about this and described in many different settings and I did misspeak the other day. This has been a very long campaign.” She went on to say that the military took great care of her and even took some extra precautions going into the war zone. “Last week for the first time in 12 years or so, I misspoke.” Clinton told Richert that she did not believe the error would affect her credibility.

Clinton is in between campaign appearances in Uniontown last night and Greensburg today.
