Hillary Clinton hosted an outdoor fundraiser in Colorado (a state that already caucused) where "Event Chairs" could bundle $27,000 and "Champions" contributed $2,700.
But a crazy thing happened when she got ready to speak. Her campaign actually "turned on a static noise machine" pointed at the press so they couldn’t hear what she was saying to the financial elite in attendance.
Look, this campaign is funded by emails like this one. So this is technically a Bernie Sanders fundraiser. No noise machine here – we’ll say it directly to you and any members of the press who are on this email list: If Bernie Sanders is elected, he is going to take on a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt campaign finance system. He’s going to fight for universal health care, keep fossil fuels in the ground, ensure no bank is too big to fail and no banker too powerful to jail.
But this is the most important three weeks of the campaign – there are a lot of big primaries right around the corner. And Bernie will only get that chance if we all stand together.
Considering all the crap flying around masquerading as news lately, I checked it out.
The Washington Examiner reports it
The Denver Post does not, but it is mentioned in the comments, quoting the same Washington Examiner story. Numerous other sources do, however, as shown by quick online search. Especially galling are the stories in ConservativeNews247 and ConservativeRepublicanNews.
I truly do not understand what she thought she would gain by this. Now the stories are flying and this incident, like others, makes her look as though she has something to hide.
Has anyone else caught this?
