Clinton told D.C. lawmakers this week that they need to act on “fake news.” Breitbart’s Charlie Spiering reported:
“The epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year — it’s now clear that so-called fake news can have real world consequences,” Clinton said. “This isn’t about politics or bipartisanship. Lives are at risk.”
Clinton called for Congress to pass legislation to stop it and for tech moguls in Silicon Valley to continue searching for a way to block it from entering readers’ Facebook and Twitter feeds.
“It’s a danger that must be addressed and addressed quickly,” Clinton said.
Yet Clinton is not an authority on fighting “fake news” — only an expert in spreading it. Here are some of the biggest whoppers she sold the American people during her ill-fated political career.

CLINTON: the whiner
I’m named after Sir Edmund Hillary.
I always carry Hot Sauce in my purse because I’m black.
my mother remarried a Jewish man therefore I’m Jewish.
I have always been a Yankees fan.
I have always been a Cubs fan.
I turned $1,000 into $100,000 simply by reading the Wall Street Journal.
Why is this harridan allowed to address Congress? She no longer holds any elected or appointed office. She’s a private citizen. She should just shut up and go away.
Fake everything and Americans are not that stupid.
And that was only in the last 10 minutes!!
So many engage in creating the fake news that the MSM blindly accepts and regurgitates that most news is fake news.
The examples cited in the story were where Hillary outright lied.

Why the sudden "fake" concern about a practice they have perfected?
As for the judgment of the American citizenry that Clinton dishonesty, greed, and power seeking efforts should not be rewarded with another sordid term in the "People's House," perhaps both of them should learn to trust "the People" instead of their own sycophants and hangers-on.
On the other hand, that genius who, at Age 33, authored the document of our national freedom, The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, made a wise observation on a related subject:
"State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, & often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules." - Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Peter CarrPerhaps Hillary Clinton's sophomoric college-era fascination and reliance on the "fake" wisdom of Saul Alinsky and his "Rules for Radicals" set her on a path away from recognition of what Abraham Lincoln called the "abstract truth" embodied in that Declaration of Independence and the ideas essential to liberty which Jefferson so clearly laid out.
All honor to Jefferson--to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression." - Abraham Lincoln, Letter to Messrs Henry L. Pierce & Others
