Hillary Clinton - "only candidate being attacked by Wall Street" - Pantsuit on FIRE

Hillary Clinton's absurd claim that she's the only candidate being attacked by Wall Street





On Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd played Clinton a clip of Sanders joking on the campaign trail that her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs must have been written in Shakespearean prose.

"I'm the only candidate in the Democratic primary, or actually on either side, who Wall Street financiers and hedge fund managers are actually running ads against," she responded. "So I find this, again, a kind of, you know, circuitous way to raise questions about my record."

While Clinton has been the target of more attack ads than Sanders, more money from the financial industry has been spent hitting each of the remaining Republicans. In fact, the candidate subject to the most Wall Street-funded hits is actually Donald Trump.

"Keep saying it over and over until enough people think it's true to make it sound plausible and pretty soon you can write your own history."
