Ex-Obama adviser gets emotional, ‘storms off’ live TV as Lindsay Clancy supporters are blasted, ‘Be ashamed …’ | Watch

During a heated live TV debate about the Lindsay Clancy case, former Obama strategist Laurie Watkins became emotional and stormed off after political commentator Thomas Corbett-Dillon criticized the women supporting her. Clancy, a Massachusetts mother, is charged with three counts of murder for the deaths of her children. The debate escalated when Corbett-Dillon accused the women outside the courthouse of "man-hating" and suggested they were "crazy" for not believing the husband committed the murders.

Corbett-Dillon noted that Lindsay had access to numerous resources, including doctors and nannies, and argued that her wealth meant she could not have been more helped than she already was. Watkins attempted to defend the women's empathy for Clancy, but Corbett-Dillon refused to back down. The emotional exchange ended with Watkins storming away from the debate.
