So this is why she snapped at that young lady asking about Fossil Fuel Donations...

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

She was just tired of having to try and dodge the question when it keeps being asked. All they want is for her to sign a pledge stating she will not take money from the fossil fuel industry. Why that is so hard is beyond me.

36. There is this huge push to export LNG

Lots of well connected rich people have invested in it. But the downside is it will make electricity and natural gas so much more expensive, lots of older buildings will cost a lot more to heat and cool, forever, because once they start special rules kick in and they can't stop.

There is a pac called our blue stolen future or something like that nergy moment.. reeks of entitlement doesnt it?.

4. What i haven't seen is M$M coverage.

O'Donnell had Tad on and didn't even bring it up. He showed the first protest that she was prepared for, but nothing of the blow-up. Imagine if that had been any other candidate.

9. NBC aired the video

and a piece on it, on the nightly news.

So did Bloomberg TV.

[2banon]

20. So, she's taken $145 MILLION from the Industry Not $150,000

The vid and the activists asking on more than one occasion I heard the figure $150,000. Scratching my head, in the world of unlimited campaign funding from industry's like the Fossil Fuel, but $150,000 is what they wipe their behinds with

Even $145 Million isn't that much to them, but it's significant enough when it comes to funding election campaigns.

And she doesn't know anything about it.

The Clinton Foundation is heavily invested and connected to these industries, of course she's aware of BIG OIL money being funneled into her campaign.

39. Clinton could not "renegotiate the TPP"Presidents cant do that- the deals are inflexible, unchangeab

She's lying.

"Clinton recently signaled that she might seek modifications in the pact, but Sanders said that’s not enough. “I will not renegotiate the TPP, I will reject it. I will not send any trade deals to Congress that make it easier for corporations to shut down in this country and move abroad.”"

44. According to OpenSecrets, Hillary is the only Dem

in a top 20 list directly taking $ from Oil and Gas:

3. It's hard because we're rocking her gravy boat

Don't you know? We're supposed to let her walk unopposed and unquestioned into the Oval Office, let her suck up all the funds and pass out as many favors as she can manage, then let her walk triumphantly out in 2024.

Why can people just let her have her way?! It's her turn, dammit!




----> in case it's needed.

[CoffeeCat]

5. That is very powerful!

This video demonstrates that people have been asking her about taking fossil-fuel industry money for months!

So many times she gives the same dismissive line about not knowing that she's taken money from fossil-fuel lobbyists. I'll bet she never anticipated that someone would make a video that clearly shows that she's been asked about this many times. She never bothers to look into this and come up with a decent, honest answer!

She knows exactly what she's doing. Accepting campaign bribes from Big Energy just like she does with Wall Street.

And she doesn't give a rip that countless Americans care about this critical issue and they want answers!

She doesn't have answers. Just abrasive accusations and lies!

6. Many companies pressure their employees to contribute to certain politicians

and some charities (there might be other categories, but I have worked in places where these two were prevalent). So while it does not come from the company, but its employees, as Hillary Clinton said of her fossil fuel receipts, the pressure from the company is what prompts many to donate.

Sam

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

8. Well in this case the donations came from registered lobbyists ~50 of them who gave max $2700

[Gwhittey]

13. Lobbyist is the key word.

So sure they are employee's but they are also registered lobbyist and that is the issue. If Joe Smith working in Tech support gave it it would be a different story.

[BillZBubb]

15. The Bullshit rationalizations of you Hillary pushers is beyond belief.

These are lobbyists for the fossil industries. Geez, wake up!

[Duppers]

42. Sam is a Bernie supporter.

She's more rational than camp weathervane cheerleaders. Take a look at her profile.
Now, however, she's being too kind and should look at 5th name on this list:

In that top 20 list.

The rest are republicans.

[Duppers]

47. I know!

I know!

Doesn't that fact say a LOT?! 5th and only Dem.

[Samantha]

49. Thank you, I did

This is the third time in 2 days I have been insulted as a presumed Hillary supporter. Does this happen to other people as well?

To tell you the truth (I didn't want to specifically say this before, but I will now) I saw this at law firms. Lobbyists are sometimes a part of a law firm -- a totally different section, lobbyists on one side, attorneys on the other. Lobbyists actually draft a lot of legislation -- literally write it.

I personally saw people being pressured to donate to candidates they did not support. I believe this happens in large corporations as well. What does one do when one makes a lot of money in his or her profession and his or her boss tells him or her much their share is -- say no? I don't think so.

Sam

[Avalon Sparks]

50. She took the money, she has no integrity...

With her political power, she either has to throw these supporters she accepted large sums of money from under the bus by pushing policy that hurts their bottom line, or she throws us under after securing the nomination.

A person with integrity would never put themselves in that position.


Btw, which group do you reckon gets thrown?

[Duppers]

65. Perfect point. Money has power.

On most and certainly on Hillary, despite how much and how often she denies it.

There's only 1 person in this race with enough integrity to resist its power.

Thank you, Sam.

[lostnfound]

68. I've witnessed it

Top executives "asked" to donate $10,000 EACH to contribute to a PAC for the despicable and corrupt Tom Delay.

They go along with it.

Even a person who hated Delay and voted democrat, still donated. Multiple years.

Not always cowardice or fear for their position either. There's personal loyalties, perception of need for favors for the corporation or fear that the company will get retribution from a powerful politician.

[rhett o rick]

82. Their bonuses are affected by their actions. Just sayin'. nm

[CoffeeCat]

17. And many of these "employees"

are Executive Vice Presidents and decision makers at the top.

"Employee" is a euphemism when it come to the reality here. These are not dishwashers and personal assistants from the fossil-fuel industry who are sending her cash.

These are executives and people with $300,000+ salaries and perks; and they want a candidate who will keep them in their current lifestyle.

I have no problem with executives or big salaries. But we're talking influence peddling here--and it's the country-club set from the fossil-fuel industry that is sending her donations and funding her campaign. Not blue-collar workers.

[Segami]

10. From Greenpeace...

While Clinton claims in the video that she is sick of the Sanders campaign telling lies, Greenpeace is not connected to the Sanders campaign and does not endorse candidates. Greenpeace has reached out to every presidential candidate to urge them to sign the organization’s pledge to fix democracy, which includes rejecting future donations from fossil fuel interests. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who has signed the pledge.

I like the part about the next president and implying it is going to be Hillary, thanks.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

34. This is the video where she finally snaps, my OP is video of all the prior asking of the question.

[dogman]

37. Aren't you supposed to let your campaign manager attack the questioner?

I suppose the questioner might have had an explosive pen.

[Thinkingabout]

38. Good for Hillary, what is withasking the same question which is not true overand over. Hillary,

Sanders and O'Malley got donations from employees, guess this put all of them in the same vote. Now is the question was why did the candidates take donations from employees it would be a different story. Again I like the caption where Hillary will be the next president.

Almost forgot, she did not tell her to "shut up".

[Ghost Dog]

60. Can you please explain what was "untruthful" about the question,

which was phrased thus:

“Thank you for tackling climate change. Will you act on your words and reject future fossil fuel money in your campaign?”

[Thinkingabout]

61. How about saying it was donations from fossil fuel EMPLOYEES.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

71. Well that was a bold fat lie...

The money came from register lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry... Sure it may be technically correct that they are employees of the fossil fuel industry, but they are they exact type of employee people concerned about the environment should be up in arms about donating to Clinton.

[Thinkingabout]

81. Must be the same ones who gave to Sanders also.

As soon as I saw the group she was with I dismissed it.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

84. She had 57 give to her and who helped bundle contributions. Nice false equivalency though nt

[rhett o rick]

83. "Distinction without a difference". You are really reaching. Their bonuses depend

on how good of an EMPLOYEE they are. How well they follow the company line.

[Ash_F]

Very persistent action by them. Commendable.

53. Bernies supporters are acting desperate, now they are showing up at hillary...

events and are being disruptive.

[beam me up scottie]

54. She's not a Bernie supporter, she's an environmental activist for Greenpeace.

And she wasn't being disruptive, she asked a simple question, it had nothing to do with Bernie.

While Greenpeace appreciated Hillary’s response, the first step a candidate can take to stop fossil fuels is to stop taking fossil fuel money. That money matters when we hear great things about climate in Clinton’s speeches, but want to be sure she’ll truly listen to the people when she is in office. For instance, she supports a Department of Justice investigation of ExxonMobil and yet she takes money from an Exxon lobbyist. That level of coziness makes voters like me who prioritize climate change uncomfortable.

To prove to people that she’s really serious about keeping fossil fuels in the ground, she needs to stop taking that money today.

Today, I said to Hillary, “Thank you for tackling climate change. Will you act on your words and reject future fossil fuel money in your campaign?” I was genuinely shocked by her response. But I want to make sure we are focused on the issue at hand: asking our candidates to take a stand to Fix our Democracy. Rejecting fossil fuel money sends a strong signal.

Awesome video. If the GD Big Media won't do their jobs the citizens will.

Treat these candidates like job applicants. Make them take tests and pee in cups.

[Amimnoch]

57. OMG! She's tired of being ambushed by Sanders supporters? Shocking.

I wonder just for a second just how the Sanders supporters would react to Hillary supporters going to his pontificating dramatizations of fictional promises and ambushing him with questions?

How well would his minions take someone jumping on him when he's greeting his supporters with questions like
"how exactly are you going to keep your promises with the landscape of the 115th congress Senator?"
"Why have you been so cozy to the gun Lobby Senator?"
"If as President you are going to pass all these measures, why haven't you, as a Senator, actually proposed the bills you think you can pass as a President?"
"Explain some of those papers's you've written in the past Senator?"
"What do you think are the odds of you being able to keep all, or even some of your campaign promises Senator?"

Yeah, I bet there'd be all the questions here on why the Senator would snap at the Hillary supporters ambushing him.

Since this thing began I've been committed to voting to whomever the (D) candidate is. I'm now thinking I'm agreeing with those Sanders supporters who are more committed to voting more on the person that they think is best in the GE regardless of what letter they have by their name if he wins.

[HumanityExperiment]

If Bernie hits her in NY about fracking and her documented history of supporting and encouraging that industry along with re-running that video she'll tank in NY
