Clinton spokesperson curses in reply to Nancy Mace’s ‘unhinged’ and ‘screaming’ claims

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's spokesperson had a sharp response Friday after Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) tried to claim that the former First lady was "unhinged" and "screaming" during her testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

During a press conference Friday, just before Clinton's husband and former President Bill Clinton was set to testify before the committee about his relationship with late financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Mace made several claims about Clinton's reactions to the lawmakers' questions on Thursday. The former First lady was asked a series of questions — including some related to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory and aliens — during a closed-door deposition in Chappaqua, New York.

Her spokesperson Nick Merrill told CNN that Mace was lying about what she told reporters and that wasn't what happened.

"Clearly, the sparks have been flying," said MJ Lee, CNN senior national enterprise correspondent.

"The political theater has been on full display as it pertains to Hillary Clinton's deposition, including Congresswoman Nancy Mace this morning saying that Hillary Clinton had been screaming and was unhinged as a part of the deposition yesterday," Lee said. "When I asked the Hillary Clinton spokesperson, Nick Merrill, about this. This is what he said. He said 'she is full of s---.' This is talking about Congresswoman Mace and that Hillary Clinton was actually just appalled that the congresswoman wouldn't let the former secretary of state answer a question about 9/11. Obviously, this is all completely out of context, and we're not going to know the context until we get the transcript and the full videos of the deposition."
