Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson Dies at 75
KOB4 ^ | 9/2

Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has died, according to a statement from the Richardson Center for Global Engagement. He was 75.

Richardson died in his sleep Friday night at his summer home in Chatham, Massachusetts.

Mickey Bergman, vice president of the Richardson Center, shared the following statement:

“Governor Richardson passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. He lived his entire life in the service of others – including both his time in government and his subsequent career helping to free people held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad. There was no person that Governor Richardson would not speak with if it held the promise of returning a person to freedom. The world has lost a champion for those held unjustly abroad and I have lost a mentor and a dear friend.

Mayflower descendant who figured out how to still play a role in contemporary US politics.

Dad and granddad planned it out very well for William Blaine Richardson III.

Bill Richardson always was concerned with helping others—like when he got Monica a job....

Dirtbag was part of the conspiracy to cover up the Clinton Lewinsky affair. Offered her a taxpayer-funded job at the UN to whisk her out of DC.
If somebody in the Trump Admin did the exact same thing they’d be facing 87 years in prison. Dirtbag Bill just a gold star from the media for the effort.

He’s the one who told the truth about Obama in a news conference, that he was an immigrant!

People have reasons for what they choose to do.
I don’t think he was selfless.
Watch the MSM and the left try to paint him as Mother Theresa type.

To go one’s entire political life pushing destructive Leftist agendas is unforgivable, no matter how dumb one may be.

Highlights of Bill Richardson's career:

  1. As UN Ambassador, personally offering Monica Lewinsky a job.
  2. As Secretary of Energy, overseeing the top-secret Los Alamos Labs security breach.
