Hillary Clinton Coerces Stephen Colbert to Promote Her Book

By Maryann Yin 

During an appearance on The Colbert Report, many shenanigans were exchanged between the host and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the clip embedded above, Stephen Colbert criticized Clinton’s new book, Hard Choices, for excessive “name dropping.”

Clinton then came on stage and the two engaged in a “name drop” battle. Towards the end of this heated conversation, she threatened to not appear on the show if Colbert refused to promote her book and it worked.
