Clinton: ‘I Feel Sorry’ For The Young People Who Believe Sanders [VIDEO]

“When I was in the Senate, I introduced legislation to take away the subsidies. I voted against Dick Cheney’s energy bill in 2005 and I could go on and on. When I got to be Secretary of State, I was at the original meeting in 2009 with President Obama where we were trying to convince China and India and others to come on-board with accepting some restrictions that would lead to what finally occurred with the Paris agreement,” Clinton said.

“So when people make these kinds of claims, which now I think have been debunked — actually The Washington Post said three Pinocchios, the New York Times analyzed it and other independent analysts have said that the [the Sanders campaign] are misrepresenting my record,” Clinton alleged.

“I’m just not going to — I feel sorry, sometimes, for the young people who, you know, believe this. They don’t do their own research. And I’m glad that we can now point to reliable independent analysis to say, ‘No, it’s just not true,'” Clinton argued.

Umm... gee, thanks, Hillary. But that Politifact article was not completely true too and it turns out that although the money was washed through your Super Pac, it was STILL oil and gas money - all $4.5m.

And young people ARE doing research. Out of touch.

I'm not sure what she's trying to accomplish by saying that, but it's an insult pure and simple.

it's not the way to talk to them. They are adults and she just insulted them.

I suppose she thinks we're old enough to know better and just hates us. (She'll show us what's what if she ever gets a chance to go after Social Security.)

“We have to end the flood of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political system, and drowning out the voices of too many everyday Americans. Our democracy should be about expanding the franchise, not charging an entrance fee.”

HILLARY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2015

I tweeted it and within 5 minutes 16 people have retweeted it. And that was just MY tweet. There were many others out there already. She has foot in mouth disease.

have felt under seige from all their friends who support Bernie. I'll bet tomorrow will be a tough day for them as they're walking around campus and are told about today's slam on young people by Hillary.

To steal a word from Stephen Colbert Bernie's attacks on Hillary are truthiness.

The quality of seeming or being felt to be true, even if not necessarily true.


From a proud Hillarybro.
