Clinton endorsements questioned (Hillary caught in another lie)

There are questions about the number of black ministers supporting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

The New York senator got the backing of what organizers said was nearly 90 ministers at a gathering in Spartanburg last week.

An Associated Press review of an endorsement list from the campaign found some are affiliated with religious ministries and outreach groups rather than churches. Some on the list are wives of ministers, two are church elders and at least two are not members of the churches listed.

About 50 groups were represented, rather than more than 80 congregations as initially implied.

Clinton spokesman Zac Wright says the campaign never said the endorsements represented separate congregations and knew some came from the same organization.

Endorsements are People telling other People; the Endorsers are more intelligent than the People voting. Reminds me of third world elections. In other word, the Endorsers are saying, the voters are idiots, how dare the voters think for themselves and vote for the candidate(s) of their choice.

It must be extremely difficult for the Clintons to carry on their mendacious ways as they did before the internet.

Immediate, in-depth, fact checking with a few mouse clicks and their falsehoods are left to their minions to explain away as jokes or furiously wipe the egg from their faces.

MSM doesn't control the spin cycle on news anymore either.

What's a liar to do these days?

Every time either of them opens their mouths, their spokesfolk have to go on TV to explain/parse the mis-statements, out of context, misconstrued claims to the few watchers of such news shows.

She will just give the endorsements back, say it was a staffer’s mistake, and blame Bush for the climate of personal destruction.

True. Just like generals that fight the last war, Hillary! is working the last campaign, yet the rules of engagement have changed.

The big news here is that someone in the MSM actually bothered to check it out.

“Endorsements are People telling other People; the Endorsers are more intelligent than the People voting. Reminds me of third world elections. In other word, the Endorsers are saying, the voters are idiots, how dare the voters think for themselves and vote for the candidate(s) of their choice.”

Even more telling is when the elite endorsed candidates, handpick the endorsers to represent the voters. And why do these endorsers endorse? For money, status, or other personal rewards.

These people are so evil, and conniving!! It doesn't matter what you "SAY," it matters what you intend for people to believe.

It's the little things like this that will be her undoing! It can't come soon enough.

That is what I was thinking. Normally they would look the other way. I guess the MSM figures they had better do it now than later so they can cover themselves. Probably in a few months the white washing will begin.

I demand you support my coronation now.
