Among the hacked John Podesta emails released by WikiLeaks is material said to have been written by Hillary Clinton flacks that mocks and bashes conservative Catholics:

From the Christian Post:
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri and Center for American Progress fellow John Halpin mocked conservative Catholicism as an “amazing bastardization of the faith” in new emails released by WikiLeaks.
In the fresh batch of emails released as part of a reported cache of “Podesta emails,” with the subject line “Conservative Catholicism,” Halpin also mocks News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch and Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert Thomson for being Catholic.
Hillary for America Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri was asked about it today:

Jennifer Palmieri on her hacked email about Catholic Republicans: "I'm a Catholic. I don't recognize that email that we saw."

Clinton campaign Press Secretary Brian Fallon thinks any criticism of Palmieri is ridiculous:
Latest faux controversy out of @Wikileaks hack: Accusing Jen Palmieri, who is Catholic, of being anti-Catholic.

There sure are a lot of “faux controversies” with the Clinton campaign.
Translation: I say mean spirited stuff like this all the time and don't recollect this specific incident, but I'm Catholic so I get a pass. https://t.co/YNuLfCAf9J

"I don't recognize"? Sounds like her boss who loves to say "I don't recall".
