When you think she couldn’t dig a deeper hole for herself as someone who desperately wants to be president, Hillary Clinton just keeps on digging and giving.
“And don’t let anybody, don’t let anybody tell you, that, you know, it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” she told her liberal followers at a campaign rally for Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley last week.
She attempted to walk back her statement later saying she “shorthanded” that comment, hoping we would think she was speaking off the cuff, but I don’t buy it for a minute. Click here, and watch and listen to how deliberate she spoke as she rubbed her hands together with satisfaction.
I have to imagine that many corporations and businesses, who have contributed to the Clinton Foundation, are rethinking that decision. And, looking to 2016, do they want another anti-business individual in the White House?
Just days later, while appearing at a campaign rally in Iowa for Democrat senatorial candidate Bruce Braley (or is it Bailey?), she implied that if Republican Joni Ernst won, women would lose preventive medical procedures like mammograms.
So there she stood, the self-anointed savior of women in the world, telling Iowa women to vote for a man over a woman, because, “It’s not enough to be a woman. You have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities for all women.” Two more liberal women, Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, continued the Democrat war on conservative women in Iowa last night. Both continued to press the single-issue of reproductive rights.
The campaign to fill the vacancy of retiring Senator Tom Harkin, who has been in Washington as a representative and senator for four decades, is extremely close, but the Republican Party couldn’t have a stronger candidate than Joni Ernst.
Hillary Clinton at a microphone is a gift that keeps on giving.
