Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumChris Matthews's is demolishing Jeff Weaver! *HRC Group*
He took him to the shed for making unfounded accusations against Secretary Clinton, called him out for not being able to provide not one example of where HRC's integrity was compromised due to a contribution. Weaver could not name one, he just kept repeating access.
It's a barn burner! When the link uploads later today I will edit to add, however I would not be surprised if MSNBC does not replay most of the segment through the evening on Maddow and Hayes.

(5,044 posts)Keep repeating something over and over again, force the accused to defend themselves without ever having had any evidence to substantiate.

(11,649 posts)he has collected more campaign money than anyone -- but has never given a favor and would take a lie detector test.
rendell also said sanders is hurting the democratic party with his comments. he was a hillary supporter back in '08 too. tweety used to have him on all the time back then. referred to him back then as the charles durning of politics -- a big beefy guy.

(3,284 posts)I just saw that! Jeff Weaver is such a lying asshat. I loved it when Chris Matthews said, "So you think she's guilty until proven innocent?" Go back to your comic book shop, bro.

(3,284 posts)watching him sputter trying to answer the question. And when Matthews said he was implying that HRC is corrupt, he kept acting like they weren't. As if they're above that. RIGHT.

That has to be the most idiotic excuse ever!

(30,058 posts)Speeches which will tie her to a vote, etc when it is plain Sanders is the one who rewarded the NRA more than once with votes. Why does he continue to show it is Hillary who is influenced, it is Sanders who is influenced.

(11,649 posts)from goldman sachs would leak it. obviously the speech was given to employees. when my late husband worked for IBM they used to have famous people as guest speakers at events.
so she got paid a lot -- they obviously thought she was worth it.

(1 post)Chris did a great GREAT job shredding Jeff Weaver &-exposing their total circular insular argument &-the dishonor in it. Even Warren qualified her claims, they were twisted too.
WHY is this video not circulating? I first saw it early March. It's a 12 minute thank you talk as these events, boring but informative report go to private but yes rich donors to a already successful Global Initiative program for 10,000 international women entrepreneurs, harmless. There are generous rich people, where are they to meet, the street? Get real. A long-time follower of Hillary, raised activist in DC/MD from W NC I see, Robin Hood-ette. I have a friend who gave her last welfare to Bernie. Is that more moral?
I.myself am no longer enamored of this reverse snobbery guru business. I loved Bernie last year, we donated. I too joined SNCC at American U, am still an educated activist, but we learned to focus on getting folks to REGISTER to VOTE, protest "Etiquette" of MLK Jr. PRIME DIRECTIVES Sanders seems to have forgotten. & the DNC has not, but has always pushed for expanded voting rights,since supporting the civil rights movement.
I don't see Sanders pushing Hillary more left on.anything. She's in the same forward direction she's always been, just able to reveal it more with this whole campaign dynamic, pretty well-prepared for the GOP.
Americans, humans, have a schizophrenic affair with money, we LOVE it, we HATE it. We want the things, but not the stuff that may be attached. Bernie seems to have the same jealousy. No law can resolve that completely, no.amount of pointing & grouchy yelling. Never has in HISTORY. So this is a false premise, let alone totally unjust, as Chris showed. Bless his heart.
Go Chris! Logical & honestly & legitimately tenacious! Great debate! Ed Rendell too. Will Weaver aka Sanders take it to heart? Didn't seem so at all. I've been getting hardcore I-won't-vote-for-Hillary-under-any-circumstances notes all day.from.actual friends. Sad.
Cha
(297,307 posts)I like your analysis.. feel pretty much the same way except I never liked sanders.
He wanted President Obama primaried in 2012 ".. because millions were disappointed".. turns our Millions more NOT disappointed in our President... and burnie's whine didn't help.
Firebrand Gary
(5,044 posts)What a great post of yours and thoughtful too! I've found that with the friends of mine that are (and some of them were) supporting Sander's, it's just going to take a little time. I've been trying to provide as much space as possible to them, it seems to be working. Most of them are beginning to understand that all the attacks on HRC, after all these years, strengthen her in many ways.
Thanks again and welcome!

(23,690 posts)This is the one thing they keep going after and have yet to cite ONE example where Sec. Clinton was influenced by the big banks. Bernie Sanders is a desperate candidate, trying to keep those $27 contributions coming in from his mesmerized fans.
