For all his influence in the media biz, Matt Drudge himself is downright invisible. But the creator of the Drudge Report gave a rare interview to radio host Alex Jones Tuesday in which he offered up his views on topics ranging from Hillary Clinton to social media. (Drudge remained off-camera in the show's webcam, but you can hear him here.) Some snippets, from CNNMoney, Politico, and Business Insider:
- Clinton: Referring to his own critics, he said, "They've always said, 'Oh, he's a right-wing gossip-monger.' Mainly because of (Monica) Lewinsky and those years—which by the way, are back. Why aren't we seeing Hillary's lovers? Excuse me, why aren't we seeing Hillary's lovers? Where's the cover-up on this?" He also said that "she's old and she's sick."
- Clinton, II: "I've been saying they could put Hillary Clinton's brain in a jar in the Oval Office and she'd be elected. People are really sick."
