Fox News is trying to get traction from this by headlining this as "
Hot water for Hillary in family fib" - those damn anchor grandparents, apparently her grandmother was born in the US, not unlike a certain Kenyan/Indonesian/Hawai'ian POTUS...
Speaking in Iowa Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that all her grandparents had immigrated to the United States, a story that conflicts with public census and other records related to her maternal and paternal grandparents.
The story of her grandmother specifically immigrating is one Clinton has told before. Clinton’s sole foreign-born grandparent, Hugh Rodham Sr., immigrated as a child.
“Her grandparents always spoke about the immigrant experience and, as a result she has always thought of them as immigrants,” a Clinton spokesman told BuzzFeed News. “As has been correctly pointed out, while her grandfather was an immigrant, it appears that Hillary’s grandmother was born shortly after her parents and siblings arrived in the U.S. in the early 1880s.”

Boffo oppo – David Drucker reports: “Nearly 100 staff of Republican opposition research group America Rising are digging up dirt on Hillary Clinton. The group has 20 full-time and more than 50 part-time trackers across the country, mostly in early primary states and big money hubs such as Boston, New York and San Francisco, to document Clinton's every move.”
and in other Fox stupidity, perhaps Hillary was looking for some hot guys with guns at a Mexican-themed restaurant:
Fox News host Andrea Tantaros wondered Tuesday whether Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton recently stopped at a Chipotle outside Toledo, Ohio, in order to make inroads with Latino voters.
During a segment of “Outnumbered,” Tantaros and co-host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery debated the meaning of Clinton's low-profile appearance at the Mexican-themed chain. Clinton and at least one aide, her longtime adviser Huma Abedin, had lunch at the restaurant on Monday. They did not announce their presence and went unrecognized by the restaurant's staff.
Noting that “someone said on Twitter that she looked hung over,” Tantaros asked Montgomery about the meal. Montgomery speculated that Clinton may have thought Chipotle would be “food of the people” that wouldn’t be too “icky” or “ethnic.”
“Was it maybe Hispanic outreach?” Tantaros said. “She heard [Sen. Marco] Rubio was announcing, so she thought, 'Let’s go to a Chipotle and get some pico de gallo.
