Hillary Clinton endorsed by Service Employees global Union
Republicans said Clinton had hidden shamefully behind the 9/11 attacks to deflect attention from her ties to her wealthiest donors.
Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s chief challenger for the 2016 Democratic Party presidential nomination, has said the federal minimum wage should be raised to $15 an hour.
“I am sorry if whoever tweeted that had that impression”, she said.
As Ben White has found in those same conversations with Democrats on Wall Street, they are completely unfazed by a Clinton candidacy, calling her leftward shift on economic issues “just politics” and “a Rorschach test for how politically sophisticated people are”. Where were we attacked? “Why over her political career has Wall Street been the major political contributor to Hillary Clinton?”. He says Clinton supports a system that “props up private insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies” which have given money to her campaign.
In an interview with Yahoo News’ Katie Couric on Tuesday, the Vermont independent said Mrs. Clinton invoking September 11 to defend her Wall Street connections – as she did in Saturday night’s debate – was “silly and absurd”.
Clinton also sought to draw a dividing line on taxes, saying she was the only Democrat on stage during last presidential debate committed to not raising taxes on average workers. The truth is Hillary Clinton and all of us in the Congress did all we could to try to rebuild NY City after that devastating attack. “At the same time, a lot will go back to when she was Secretary of State and the things she did while the Secretary that helped ISIS develop more in the middle east”. “I’m going to support you.’ And I think that is absolutely appropriate”.
O’Malley in recent days have called the remarks “shameful and distasteful” and accused Clinton of creating a “smokescreen” to hide her close relationship with Wall Street.
GOP Chairman Reince Priebus said on Monday that President Obama continues to display a lack of strategy for defeating the Islamic State terrorist group and took the criticism a step further by laying blame on his first Secretary of State, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “Absolutely”, Clinton said about the status quo. The union’s efforts have been instrumental in getting higher minimum wages in Los Angles, New York, San Francisco and Seattle.
“Let’s remember we’re also dealing with people who’ve suffered the horrors of war, women and children, orphans”. “She is proud to have stood by her home state economy after disaster struck early in her time as Senator”, the official said, adding “using that to falsely represent her record on financial regulation is unfair and wrong”.
