7 Things Hillary Clinton Says At Every Campaign Stop
1) “We need to fix our dysfunctional political system, and we need get unaccountable money out of it once and for all.”
Hillary Clinton intends to raise a combined $2.5 BILLION between now and election day 2016, her senior campaign staff regularly raise money with big donors, and her campaign is coordinating directly with an unaccountable money group.
2) It’s wrong “when CEOs make 300 times more than the typical worker.”
In 2012, the Clintons made over 321 times more than the median American household. At the Clintons’ combined income level of $30 million, they would rank as the 27th highest-paid CEO in 2014.
3) “The deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top. Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion.”
But she and Bill Clinton are part of “those at the top,” they’re among the highest earners in the top 1%, and have a combined net worth of $55 million. They also charge foreign governments and students hundreds of thousands of dollars for just one speech. But Clinton thinks they’re “dead broke.”
She even decided to run for president at a millionaire’s beachfront compound!
4) “Everyday Americans”
Clinton says her campaign stops are with “everyday Americans,” but those she labels as such are usually highly-vetted Democratic activists. Plus, just a couple weeks ago, for each “everyday America” Clinton met with, she rubbed elbows with 250 members of the 1%.”
5) “…it’s just wrong that a hedge fund manager pays a lower tax rate than a nurse or a trucker or an assembly worker here at Whitney Brothers.”
Numerous Hillary Clinton fundraisers have been hosted by hedge fund managers.
6) Bipartisanship: “I’m very committed to meeting with anybody, going to have any conversation, to try to find common ground.”
Hillary Clinton labeled criticism of her husband as “vast rightwing conspiracy” and described Republicans as those who would “squander the promise of our country and the hopes of our people.”
7) Clinton says her work as Secretary of State included “promoting women’s rights, promoting the rights of people who would otherwise be marginalized or left on the sidelines”
But the Clintons have promoted companies that are bad on human rights. Plus, governments with terrible human rights records have donated millions to the Clinton Foundation while Clinton was Secretary of State.
2 Things Hillary Clinton Won’t Say
1) Anything to the media
Hillary Clinton has only answered 9 media questions since her campaign launched over a month ago. Reporters are feeling burned and becoming frustrated.
2) Anything on the Keystone XL Pipeline
Months after Clinton said that she’s been traveling across Canada and “avoiding answering questions about the Keystone Pipeline,” she still won’t take a stance on the divisive issue, for political purposes.
