Wilson was asked on CNN whether she thinks Clinton should have fired her then-senior faith adviser, Burns Strider, after he was accused of sexual harassment by another campaign staffer.

"On the spot," Wilson said.

A report last week said that Clinton decided to keep Strider on her presidential campaign team in 2008 after a female staffer came forward with sexual harassment allegations against him.

Clinton's campaign manager at the time, Patti Solis Doyle, reportedly recommended that she fire Strider, but Clinton requested that he remain on staff, according to The New York Times. He was docked several weeks pay and ordered to undergo counseling.

Strider was fired years later from a pro-Clinton PAC after allegations of harassment.

Clinton last week responded to the report, saying in a pair of tweets that she was "dismayed" when she was made aware of the allegations against Strider, but was "heartened" that his accuser came forward.

She did not directly address why she decided to keep him on her campaign.
