Pelosi says she’s confident in Hillary Clinton’s integrity; praises apology on
At her rally in Columbus, Clinton made the case that her economic proposals would be better for women, before turning to Trump’s latest provocative comment.
And she drew an implicit contrast with Vermont Sen.
The Clintons also accepted large donations from Trump to both the Clinton Foundation and political campaigns.
“Sanders is calling, doing outreach to a far wider base than Clinton”, said Sarah Swisher, of Iowa City, who in 2008 was a “superdelegate” for Clinton at the party’s national convention. “And he has the volunteer capacity to make those contacts”.
What Clinton sees as a hard-won accomplishment that will keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons, her Republican rivals call a capitulation guaranteed to get Americans and Israelis killed.
It’s an argument aimed squarely at voters in the general election. Except that the damage to Clinton’s campaign caused by persistent questions about why she had the server in the first place, and why she didn’t initially give it to the Justice Department, remains.
Clinton is facing an increasingly tough primary as her poll numbers continue to slide and questions continue about her use of a private email server.
“Don’t let anybody tell you that we’re radical, that we’re outside of the mainstream”. Last week, 37.
Cummings said Democrats on the panel would support granting immunity to Pagliano, but Gowdy has rejected that idea, saying he does not want Congress to interfere with a Justice Department inquiry.
Clinton delivered a 30-minute campaign speech to about 400 supporters on Thursday before dashing off to a fundraiser in the Columbus suburbs. Polls have shown him ahead in New Hampshire, the first primary state.
Interestingly, Clinton did take a modicum of responsibility in her initial press conference on the issue in March at the United Nations. “I am in the category of people who wanted us to do more in response to the annexation of Crimea and the continuing destabilization of Ukraine”, she said.
Since then, and as the controversy has lingered, Clinton has become more contrite.
She particularly drew cheers when she said, as president, she would defend a woman’s right to have an abortion and defend Planned Parenthood, which has been under attack by conservatives after the release of a series of controversial videos. She is presently an assistant counsel at the White House.
In a speech for and about women, perhaps it was inevitable that Clinton would eventually go after Trump.
Although she did not mention the Republican billionaire by name, she noted “one particular candidate who just seems to delight in insulting women every chance he gets”.
“As soon as she started talking about women’s rights, women’s equality, I was in tears”.
“I thought it was insincere”, Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch said of Clinton’s apology. He was originally charged with a felony, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in a deal with the prosecution.
