What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHillary Clinton is talking about that viral moment with Barack Obama, and she says there is one person she really hopes is watching.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt was at the opening of the Obama Library, after Michelle Obama mentioned her husband's Nobel Peace Prize.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorClinton told an audience over the weekend that she hopes Donald Trump saw it.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOf course he's the one she means.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA library opening, a Nobel mention, and a message aimed at someone who wasn't even in the room.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn my experience, the most pointed remarks are always addressed to the empty chair. Diplomats have done it for centuries.

  7. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBrilliant. A tribute to the Nobel prize, and somehow it's still a feud.
