How could a nation become so perverse that it would tolerate as a candidate for President of the United States, a candidate from a major political party, a woman who lies about everything, who lies when she does not even have to, who obviously can no longer discern truth from falsehood? Not only has Hillary Clinton shown herself to be careless with national security, but she has shown herself to be completely untrustworthy and unreliable while holding public office. Furthermore, anyone with her poor health should have the decency to let a younger and more vigorous person run in her place. From
The Washington Post:
She lied repeatedly about her emails. She lied when she said she had “turned over everything I was obligated to turn over”
(FBI Director James Comey said the FBI “discovered several thousand
work-related e-mails that were not among the group of 30,000 e-mails
returned by Secretary Clinton to state in 2014”). She lied when she said
there was “no classified material” in her private emails . . . that there was nothing “classified at the time” . . . and that there was nothing “marked classified”
in her private emails — all of which the FBI director said were untrue.
And, to top it all off, she lied about her lies — declaring on national
television that “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what
I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people” — a
claim The Post’s Fact Checker gave “Four Pinocchios.”
Clinton lied to the American people about Benghazi. At 10:08 p.m. the night of the attack, she issued a statement
that blamed the attack on “inflammatory material posted on the
Internet” with no mention of terrorism or al-Qaeda. But an hour later,
at 11:12 p.m. she emailed her daughter, Chelsea: “Two of our officers
were killed in Benghazi by an Al Queda-like [sic] group.” The next day
in a phone call with the Egyptian prime minister, Clinton said:
“We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a
planned attack, not a protest.” Yet two days later, as she welcomed the
caskets of the fallen in Dover, Del., she blamed that attack on “an
awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”
She lied about a trip she made to Bosnia, claiming that she and her
team arrived “under sniper fire,” skipped the arrival ceremony and “just
ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
In fact, a video shows her being greeted
on the tarmac by Bosnian officials and an 8-year-old Muslim girl, Emina
Bicakcic, who read a poem in English and told Clinton, “There is peace
now.”
She lied about her family history. In 2015, she said she
could relate to illegal immigrants because “all my grandparents”
immigrated to the United States. When BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski pointed out
that three of Clinton’s four grandparents were born in the United
States, a Clinton spokesman said “her grandparents always spoke about
the immigrant experience and, as a result she has always thought of them
as immigrants.”
And her dishonesty stretches back decades. As the late, great William
Safire pointed out in a 1996 New York Times column, she delivered a “blizzard of lies”
as first lady — about Whitewater, the firing of White House travel
aides, her representation of a criminal enterprise known as the Madison
S&L and how she made a 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity
trading simply by studying the Wall Street Journal. Even back then,
Safire concluded, Clinton was “a congenital liar.”
Today, the American people agree. A recent NBC News poll
found that just 11 percent of Americans say Clinton is honest and
trustworthy. To put that in perspective, 14 percent of American voters believe
in Bigfoot. In other words, more Americans believe that a large, hairy,
hominoid creature inhabits the forest of North America than believe
that Hillary Clinton tells the truth. So if Clinton wonders why
so many believe she is lying about her health, it is because she has
lied so many times, about so many things, that most Americans no longer
believe a word she says — even if she’s telling the truth. (Read more.)
