Political reporters unload on Hillary’s gaffetastic day

Hot Air:

The definition of a “gaffe” in politics, the columnist Michael Kinsley observed, “is when a politician tells the truth.” Hillary Clinton told the truth today, and she probably regrets it.

Clinton’s first gaffe of the day was revealed in a clip of an interview she gave ABC’s Diane Sawyer. In that interview, Clinton attempted to relate to the working man by saying that, in spite of her family’s current multimillion dollar annual income, they were “dead broke” and “struggled” after leaving the White House.

They were so broke that they couldn’t afford the mortgage on multiple houses, including the house Hillary had to purchase in New York in order to run for U.S. Senate.

“Is it fair to say that this is a gaffe?” CNN host Jake Tapper asked his guests. He noted that, similar to an attack on Sen. John McCain in 2008 over multiple houses, this statement suggests that Clinton is not tuned in to the concerns of average Americans.

“I’ve been writing about Hillary Clinton’s paid speeches for almost a year, and a question that keeps coming up is, ‘Why do the Clintons need so much money?’” New York Timespolitical reporter and Hillary hand Amy Chozick revealed.

The answer Chozick gets to this question is, apparently, perfectly unsatisfying. “It’s expensive being a Clinton,” she said.

BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith was asked why, without there being a true anti-Clinton in the Democratic Party, a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll showed that 58 percent of those surveyed do not want Clinton to run for the Democratic nomination unopposed. Even among those who lean Democratic, 55 percent say they want other Democrats to challenge Clinton for the nomination.

Hillary really believes that she can expose all this junk herself NOW and then call it all ”old news,” when she is running (IF she runs).
How many times has she and bill done this?
The Left even named their Soros-funded web site after this ploy: ”MoveOn….”

@Nanny G: It’ll remain uncovered.

If Bill could keep it in his pants they’d have been $800k better off.

she is hardly broke, When she and the whoredog left the wipe house she packed over $ 28 million in specially marked suited cases. These were deliver to Ark. by a private USSS detail that had no idea of what they were delivering.
She is a sociopathic personality, the truth has no existence in this world of mental illness, and no cure.

“I’m not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be,” Clinton said when asked if she could have done anything more to prevent that deadly attack.

“So, Mrs. Clinton, what you are saying, is that the Ambassador specifically requested hardening of the ‘consulate’ and it’s annex, yet you ignored his pleas due to the fact that you did not have the prescience to take architecture in school? You’re implying that four Americans died because you were too politically-obsessed in college to take a drafting class?”

So, two people who entered the White House wealthy and had all their room, board, travel, food and benefits paid for left dead broke.

Yeah, let’s let her run the country.

If you remember, several historic pieces of furniture and paintings were missing after the Clintons moved out of the WH. Perhaps this explains their looting.

Let’s face it, she was just trying to put herself on the level of po folks, hoping to get their sympathy vote. She’s a liar, schemer, manipulator and that’s all she has ever needed to be to accomplish her swindling goals.
