Hillary Clinton makes emotional appeal for gun control
“Despite claims that the Committee would be run with integrity, Republicans have engaged in a series of selective leaks of inaccurate and incomplete information in an effort to attack Secretary Clinton”, the committee’s Democrats wrote in their letter on Monday to Trey Gowdy, the committee’s chairman.
“The Republicans have spent millions attacking Hillary because she’s fighting for everything they oppose”.
Hillary Clinton, (D), has launched a television ad that highlights presumed incoming House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s comments about Clinton and the House Committee on the Benghazi Investigation, according to ABC News on Monday.
Based on a new poll, GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina leads Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton instate of Iowa, whose caucuses have served as an early indication of which candidates for president might win the nomination of their political party and which ones could drop out for lack of support.
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right, but we put together a Benghazi special committee”, McCarthy can be heard saying. She asked, “How many people have to die before we actually act?”
If elected, Mrs Clinton said she would push Congress to prohibit domestic abusers, including stalkers, from purchasing guns.
At the Bay Area’s Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a non-profit which tracks legislation, Executive Director Robyn Thomas says a wave of new state gun laws have been passed since the 2012 Sandyhook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
“Look at the situation that they chose to exploit to go after me for political reasons – the death of four Americans in Benghazi”, she exclaimed.
The Democrats said Mills rebuffed several Republican allegations about the Benghazi attacks, which killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
“The Republicans finally admit it”, says the narrator of the 30-second spot, which will begin airing nationally on cable TV Tuesday.
McCarthy later said the Benghazi committee had “nothing to do with politics”.
Mrs Clinton’s threat to circumvent Congress on a few proposals guarantees her strong opposition from the gun lobby, led by the National Rifle Association. Clinton is scheduled to make an appearance before the Benghazi Committee on October 22, 2015.
“What I would love to see, is gun owners, responsible gun owners… form a different organisation and take the Second Amendment (of the US Constitution) back from extremists,”she said”.
Sanders’ prospects in the state improve by a Biden entry, as the vice president seems to draw support away from Clinton.
Speaking in Iowa Wednesday, the Democratic presidential hopeful said Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was “treated as she should have been treated”.
