Ah yes, the youth. So weak. So inexperienced. So naive.
And according to Hillary Clinton they are are often susceptible to lies.
By Bernie Sanders!
Hillary Clinton tells Meet The Press host Chuck Todd that she "feels sorry for" young supporters of Bernie Sanders who believe his "lies" about her taking money from the fossil fuel industry, without "doing their own research."
The exact quote from the interview:
I feel sorry sometimes for the young people who believe this, they don't do their own research. I'm glad we can now point to reliable, independent analysis to say: No. It is just not true.
What kind of research Hillary? Do you mean that rather excellent work done by Greenpeace? You know, the environmental group that has staged some of the most successful pro environment demonstrations in the world?
Oh wait...
HILLARY CLINTON: When people make these kinds of claims, which now I think have been debunked --Actually the Washington Post said "Three Pinocchios"-- and the New York Times analyzed it. Independent analysts have said that they are misrepresenting my record.
I'm just not going to --
I feel sorry sometimes for the young people who believe this, they don't do their own research. I'm glad we can now point to reliable, independent analysis to say: No. It is just not true.
Of course not. Why would anyone believe the Greenpeace geeks when there ever credible and definitely not biased Washington Post can throw a few Pinocchio’s to back up the narrative?
Heh. Good one.
Hillary I may be young and stupid but I think I’ve done enough research to know that your allegations that you aren’t bought off, that you aren’t corrupt, that you haven’t taken millions from the fossil fuel industry are ones that, to use the words of New York Mayor Bill De Blasio, “just don’t hold water”.
Clinton is very friendly with the fossil fuel industry:
Bundler Gordon Giffin is a former lobbyist for TransCanada, the company working to build the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Giffin sits on the board of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, an investor in the pipeline. The Canadian bank paid Clinton $990,000 for speeches in the months leading up to her presidential announcement. Another Canadian financial institution with an interest in Keystone XL, TD Bank, paid her $651,000 for speaking engagements.
ExxonMobil’s top lobbyist in Washington, Theresa Fariello, may not be a bundler for Clinton’s campaign, but she is a donor. Fariello, who was a Department of Energy official in President Bill Clinton’s administration, gave $2,700 to Clinton’s campaign. Another Washington-based Exxon lawyer, Judith Batty, donated $2,700.
Clinton also got contributions from others involved in the fossil fuel business. Her campaign received $2,700 from BP America’s Mary Streett, formerly the top lobbyist for the nuclear power utility Exelon. Anadarko Petroleum lawyers Amanda McMillan and Richard Lapin each gave $2,700. Sarah Venuto and Martin Durbin, both lobbyists for America’s Natural Gas Alliance, the top gas industry lobbying group, gave $2,910 and $1,000, respectively. Celia Fischer, an America’s Natural Gas Alliance representative who is not a lobbyist, gave $2,700.
To say otherwise of her record is to say the least disingenuous and to say the most, a total lie.
Three pinocchios.
