'Sad trombone': Politico suggests TMZ 'stalked' Hillary, hilariously backpedals [pics]

Poor, poor Hillary. She’s the real victim in all this! WHY CAN’T YOU PEOPLE SEE THAT???

As Twitchy reported, tabloid outfit TMZ was the first outlet to actually try to confront Hillary about her private email scandal. And instead of being embarrassed at getting out-journalismed by TMZ, Politico played palace guard:

@TwitchyTeam And asking questions of Hillary is now STALKING per Politico. https://t.co/5dpkVeylyf

Stalking? Really? @blakehounshell

No one ever asks this woman questions. One finally does and Politico thinks it's akin to stalking?

Once upon a time, journalists were supposed to question people. Now that’s called “stalking” by @politico

You wanna talk about stalking, Politico? OK. What about this? What would you call this?

Let's talk about "Stalking" a candidate shall we? Please see Wasilla, AK.

“Stalking” is such a fluid term!

And speaking of things that are fluid …
