MSNBC’s Morning Joe panel criticized Hillary Clinton on Monday for wanting a debate moderated by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who served as White House Director of Communications during her husband’s presidency.

 

The campaigns of both Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) have discussed holding a debate before New York holds its primary on April 19. However, they have not agreed on who will host it, when it will be or the venue.

 

Stephanopoulos, who serves in a variety of roles for ABC, including anchor of This Week and co-anchor of Good Morning America, has also donated to the Clinton Foundation.

 

“Wait a minute, she wants to do a debate with George Stephanopoulos as the moderator?” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked.

 

“That was one of the proposed ideas,” co-host Willie Geist said.
