Speaking in Wilmington, Delaware, Hillary Clinton tried to paint Donald Trump as someone who is out-of-touch with voters, describing how he flies in with his big jet, gives a speech, insults everybody, then gets back on the jet to fly to his country club house in Florida or his penthouse in New York.
While she contends that Trump’s campaign routine doesn’t put him in touch with what’s going on, she says, “I have spent now more than a year talking and listening to people.” Yes, Hillary, like the executives of Goldman-Sachs attending the “Builders and Innovators” conference at the Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain Resort in Arizona, where you were paid $225,000 because “that’s what they offered?”
Clinton would have us believe that she scolds those Wall Streeters. When she meets with the common folks in a diner, she tells them what she thinks they want to hear. That’s insulting in its own way.
Clinton tried to defend her speeches to bankers, saying she “called them out,” Bernie Sanders sarcastically responded with, “She called them out … oh my goodness … they must have been crushed by this. And was that before or after you received huge sums of money?”
“Look, clearly, clearly, the secretary’s words to Wall Street has really intimidated them, and that is why they have given her $15 million in campaign contributions,” charged Sanders
Although the name “Clinton” isn’t emblazoned in big letters on the fuselage, she, too, fly’s business jets from place to place. The agency arranging her speaking engagements cite that she requires travel by private jet, and prefers a Gulfstream 450 or larger, part of a long list of demands for her and her entourage.
She’s so used to being chauffeured that she no longer knows how to drive herself. Can you imagine “Mrs. In-Touch” knowing how to operate a gas pump?
While she doesn’t go home to a residence atop a building with her name on it, she can go home to her $2.85 million home on Embassy Row in Washington DC or her $1.7 million mansion in Chappaqua, New York.
Ooops … your “hypocrite” slip is showing, Madam Secretary.
