BREAKING: Hillary releases radio ad attacking Bernie for voting against the auto industry bailout

[Cali_Democrat]

Hillary Clinton on Monday ramped up her contention that Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders voted against the 2009 federal rescue of General Motors and Chrysler with a new radio ad highlighting the Vermont senator’s vote against the financial industry bailout that became the auto bailout’s funding source.

During Sunday night’s debate in Flint, Clinton sprung Sanders’ January 2009 vote against a bill releasing the second $350 billion of the $700 billion bailout of Wall Street banks and mortgage lenders. The Obama administration ended up using some of the money to fund the federal government’s $85 billion rescue of GM, Chrylser and their lending arms, GMAC and Chrysler Financial.

The 60-second radio ad uses a clip from Clinton’s comments during the debate.

“When it came down to it, you were either for saving the auto industry or you were against it,” Clinton said. “I voted to save the auto industry.”

<...>

The Clinton ad does not mention Sanders by name, simply the narrator urges Democratic voters to “vote for the one candidate who stood up for the auto industry and came through for Michigan when it really mattered. Hillary Clinton.”

10. Ha! You're right!

It's been many, many years since I've just spin and spun around for the hell of it...and fallen over when I stopped.

Man, being a little kid sure was fun!

[nc4bo]

34. Typical Hillary. Our bar is set so low she knows it won't matter. nt

[NCTraveler]

4. K&R. Really excited about tomorrow!!!! nt.

[merrily]

5. Yet another Clinton campaign half truth. He voted against the Wall St. bailout for which she voted.

[DCBob]

7. That will be tough for Bernie to rebut since his position is hard to explain in a short ad.

The Hillary campaign is using the "when your opponent is drowning, throw him an anvil" strategy.

13. So Bernie needs to get his "story" out there.

Few get it from what he said last night.

[madfloridian]

16. Which media do you suggest he use??

His big win in ME is not even being covered.

[DCBob]

21. He had a huge media opportunity last night.

He blew it.

[virtualobserver]

31. Hillary would have run the same lying ads today, no matter what

She is running for bamboozler-in-chief.

32. Pure bullshit! It was because the bill was crap!

[stonecutter357]

[Motown_Johnny]

9. She promised to try to not lie.

So much for that.

[polly7]

14. Yep ............ swing and a miss. nt.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. He voted for the auto bail out.

He only voted against it once it was bundled in with the wall street bail out.

I live in Detroit. Please don't argue with me on this one. It is more than a political issue to me and to others like me.

[polly7]

23. No, no ...

I meant that she missed her target of trying not to lie. I know he did, and I'd never argue with you on it - I realize what terrible times Detroit has been through with this. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Jarqui]

29. It's in her DNA. She can't help it. Deceiving people is like breathing to her nt

She's done it ever since she showed up in Washington.

[HerbChestnut]

12. This is how Clinton loses Bernie's supporters for the GE

If she makes it that far...

[mmonk]

24. Among other things.

[AgingAmerican]

15. He voted for it, so now she is just a bald faced liar

[AzDar]

18. She's a LIAR. How can anyone support this?

[Biggs McGee]

20. Another ding for Clinton

We found out he did support the bailout.

[panader0]

22. More lies---and the Hillarites just love it.

Disgusting.

[bkkyosemite]

30. It's like they feed off of anything they can get. It's so nasty.

25. Gosh, its a good thing she will not need any Sanders supporters

in November. Otherwise, this would be a VERY stupid tactic from the Karl Rove playbook.

[Joe the Revelator]

26. Her campaign is shameless.

[bkkyosemite]

28. What a lie. If I wasn't on here I would ...forget it.
