Hillary Clinton loses it when Greenpeace activist asks about her fossil fuel donors
RT.com ^ | 1 Apr, 2016

Posted on 04/02/2016 9:04:25 AM PDT by VitacoreVision

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was captured losing her cool Thursday when confronted by a Greenpeace activist about the millions of dollars in direct and indirect donations she receives from the fossil fuel industry.

“Regarding climate change, can we have your word that you’ll reject fossil fuel money in the future for your campaign?” Greenpeace “democracy organizer” Eva Resnick-Day asked.

“I don’t have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies,” Clinton claimed, before bizarrely blaming her surging opponent, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders, who had nothing to do with the question. “I am so sick, I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me. I’m sick of it.”

The Clinton campaign accepted at least $160,000 in direct donations from the fossil fuel industry, according to the Annenberg Foundation, while Priorities USA Action, a “Pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC” that raised $40 million in 2015, raised $3.25 million in contributions from employees of fossil fuel companies.

The PAC’s notable donors include controversial Israel financer Haim Saban, billionaire George Soros, and beloved Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, who all forked out $1 million each for Clinton’s campaign.

Despite her vow to “end” climate change if she wins the presidency, millions were also donated to The Clinton Foundation, the charity she set up with her husband Bill, by fossil fuel companies such as ExxonMobil, Duke Energy, and Anadarko Petroleum.

I seriously doubt the FBI will tackle Hillary. The media releases suggesting this are all Potemkin village material.

“See? We really are doing our jobs and working under the law”

Not.

..heard from a family member who had the opportunity to talk with some SS agents while stationed in Europe.

Surprisingly, they opened up about the people they have guarded. Not surprising, they said that HRC was the absolute worst...

When Hitlary was queen at the White House she used to order up sandwiches at 3:00 am, which meant the staff member had to wake up, get out of bed, get dressed, make the sandwich, take the sandwich up to Hitlary, only to have her tell the staffer that she had changed her mind.

She did that as a matter of course because she could.

Does not matter what Hillary says or does. Hillary is our next President finishing off the disaster that was the negro community organizer from Chicago. It is the voter that is at fault as they have accepted the doctrines of “FREEBIES,””Egalitarianism,” Socialism with its robbery of the productive, and finally cute puppies and bouncy kitties together with comic book superheroes and sports weirdos. God has probably abandoned us as America has become Sodom and Gomorrah.

Clinton, under fire for oil and gas donations, once hit Obama for same reason

Hillary Clinton, currently defending herself from environmental critics for accepting money from employees at oil and gas companies, hit then-Sen. Barack Obama for doing the same thing in 2008.

Clinton lost her temper at an event on Thursday when activists from Greenpeace and 350 Action, two environmental organization, asked her to “reject fossil fuel money” and not accept donations from the gas and oil industry. “I’m so sick of the Sanders’ campaign lying about me. I’m sick of it,” Clinton said.

In response to the confrontation, Nick Merrill, Clinton’s spokesman, said the candidate “has not taken a dollar from oil and gas industry PACs or corporations.” Clinton’s campaign, in fact, has not received any money directly from oil and gas companies, as that would violate election law.

This ‘sandwich’ story is consistent with what I think of her, but is this confirmed or from a good source?

They could balance the budget by making Hillary’s Leavenworth cell security camera pay-per-view.

Her husband was the same way; for most of his presidency there were no unscripted events. Not only were they “dirty”, but every question would have been about his girlfriends and such.

That is probably why her advisers told her to use the fake cackle/laugh to deflect serious questions.

It is not printed up that I know of. People who work in the White House sometimes just let stuff slip. That is all I am going to say.

I thought she called Dick Morris that as well.

According to a current article about the common defense of her four close aides (all being represented by the same attorney), former US Attorney Joe DeGenova said that the DOJ acceptance of this tactic was a sign the department is throwing in the towel.

Maybe so, maybe not. But it certainly gives weight to your view, and suggests manipulation of the case from way on high. In other words, make it look good, but lose the case.

Wait till they put her in cuffs and leg irons then she will really lose it.

She will never be charged, never arrested...no consequences whatsoever for anything the bitch has done.

There are too many nit-witted idiots that will vote for her and that protect her on a daily basis to allow anything to happen to her.

Justice, as far as this bitch is concerned, will never be served.

Get used to it.

Oh this is good. Game footage. Paying attention, GOP?

No, of course you’re not. But, hopefully the remaining challengers for the GOP nod are studying these clips with a Peyton Manning eye.

If Trump is the R candidate, the D’s will do everything in their power to prevent a head to head debate. Not because he’d flummox her with facts, but he’d just flat set her off in record time. Whatever flak Hillary might take for refusing to debate would be a tiny fraction of the damage she’d incur if she did take the stage with Trump.

She could handle Cruz, though, even though his command of facts should annhilate her. But he’s too into speechifying, and his unfortunate, coached cadence has a way of undermining the impact of the message. She’d have time to swallow her bile and respond with any nonsequitur she wanted, and it wouldn’t hurt her.

What absolutely will hurt her is something like we just saw in this video. Fiorina or Christie would have had Hillary in a straight jacket in the first 10 minutes. So I do miss those two, if only for that reason.

And all this time, Hillary thought she’d be facing off with Jeb. Bwahahaha!

I am still hoping for an indictment. If she is the nominee and God forbid wins, I could not bear to watch and listen to the shrew for four years or until her medical issues disable her. To say nothing of the final death blows she would deal to the Republic.
