Hillary: Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Alive and Better Funded
Although no one chosen by CNN to pose a question asked about LGBT issues, frontrunner Hillary Clinton introduced the topic in answer to a question about what she would look for in Supreme Court Justices. She continued on Wednesday night to convince attendees and CNN’s worldwide audience that she is indeed anti-Wall Street.
Clinton, who is narrowly leading the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, said she aims to remain as “self-conscious as possible” during her run for office. “I could not understand how they got away with it”.
“When I was secretary of state, several times I said, ‘You know, I think I’m done.’ And so many people came to me, started talking to me”, Clinton said.
“Well I don’t know – that’s what they offered”, she said, drawing laughs from the crowd, and adding that “every secretary of state that I know” has accepted money for delivering speeches.
Members of the conspiracy, she said ease their consciences by giving to philanthropic causes, “but make no mistake, they want to destroy unions, they want to go after any economic interests that they don’t believe they can control”.
“They want to go after our political system and fill it with people who will do their bidding”.
Six days before New Hampshire’s primary election, the former U.S. senator is trailing Mr Sanders, from neighbouring Vermont, by a substantial double-digit margin in the New England state.
‘Everybody knows that I’ve lived a very public life for the last 25 years.
In his separate televised questions-and-answers session, Mr Sanders raised doubts about whether she was a true progressive. Tonight, Cooper asked Clinton about that famous conspiracy theory she coined back in the 90’s. “Some of my best friends are moderates”, Sanders said at an afternoon press conference. “But you can’t be a moderate and a progressive”.
“You’re Jewish, but you’ve said that you’re not actively involved with organized religion”, Cooper said. Twice, Sanders pointed to a line Clinton delivered back in September, pleading “guilty” to “being kind of moderate and center”.
