One year ago today Hillary Clinton said her family left the White House “dead broke” and that they “struggled … to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses.”
By “houses” she meant two multi-million dollar mansions. They were far from “dead broke.” Politifact rated it “mostly false.”
Fun facts:
The Clintons’ income between 2001 and 2012 was at least $136.5 million.
They are not just in the top 1% of wealth – but likely the top 0.1%!
Since then, the Clintons can’t help themselves when it comes to saying the most out of touch things. Bill and Hillary Clinton each collect hundreds of thousands of dollars every time they give a speech. When asked about it, Bill Clinton said “I gotta pay our bills.”
Even Paris Hilton handled talking about her wealth better!
