Clinton Global Initiative Moderator Describes Group’s Events As ‘Creepy,’ ‘Disgusting,’ ‘Gross’

A liberal journalist who has moderated forums hosted by the Clinton Global Initiative offered a brutal takedown of the organization, describing it as “creepy,” “disgusting” and “gross.”

Adam Davidson, who hosts a show for NPR and has written for New York Magazine, also said during an appearance on Slate’s “Political Gabfest” podcast this week, that the Bill and Hillary Clinton-controlled group’s events are “all about buying access.”

[dcquiz] And later in the podcast, he said that the Clinton Foundation has made the Clintons “beholden to scumbags.”

Davidson’s harsh critique comes as Hillary Clinton faces accusations that her family charities are massive pay-for-play schemes. An AP investigation found that more than half of the private individuals Clinton met with as secretary of state were Clinton Foundation donors.

The pressure over the apparent conflicts of interest forced the Clintons to pledge to start limiting who can donate to the Clinton Foundation and other affiliated groups if Hillary Clinton is elected president.

Davidson was relentless in his critique of the Clinton-controlled entities.

“And there is a real creepy vibe, to me, personally, at the Clinton Global Initiative,” Davidson said during the podcast, IJ Review notes.

“There’s this kinda creepy theatre that happens where you have the CEO of Coca-Cola or IBM or whatever or GE up there with President Clinton and they’re just bathing each other in love over how generous and wonderful they are and how much they care about the world and all these, like, earnest people applauding and thrilled.”

No problem. If hildabama is (s)elected, scupper lip will stay on board the "found"ation to make sure things run right. Then again, how would she have the first idea if it was or not? Pay to play? Nah!

Is this guy talking about the foundation, itself, or the two and a half gremlins running it?

These journalists just fell off the turnip wagon! Where have they been for the last two decades?

What’s even creepier is that the Clinton Foundation website is actively trolling for interns.

I think “The Clinton Global Initiative” is a side-story of the Foundation. I think this group was started while they were still in the WH ..??

It’s like Dim Stockholm Syndrome - he has no illusions about how corrupt the whole thing is but of course plans to vote for her. Ugh.

The guy who critiques the Clinton Foundation, still cannot wait to vote for her.

Talk about cognitive dissonance:

“Obviously, I fully support Hillary Clinton,” he said.

“I can’t wait to vote for her,” he added.

I can’t help but wonder just how much effort it takes to wash down the layer of bio contaminant body fluids after one of these scumfests.

Thirty years ago I was a volunteer for Rape Crisis and Helpmate. I attended a conference put on by the local media to explain to our agencies how to get our message out to the public. The media speakers very plainly told us that we had to bring gifts when meeting with them.

I'm remembering the lengthy bio-decontamination scene from the movie 'The Andromeda Strain'.

But he’s still going to vote for this evil woman, proving he’s as bad as she is. “Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul.”* Proverbs 29:24I
