In Hacked Fundraiser Recording, Hillary Mocks Bernie Supporters "Living In Their Parents basement (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-30/hacked-recording-hillary-mocks-bernie-supporters-living-their-parents%E2%80%99-basement)"

Bernie supporters- don't trust Crooked Hillary. She holds you in disdain.


One such example is a recently hacked recording of Hillary Clinton, where in a private conversation with campaign donors in February, Clinton distanced herself from progressive goals like “free college, free healthcare” and described her place on the political spectrum as spanning from the center-left to the center-right.

The newly disclosed comments first noticed by the Intercept (https://theintercept.com/2016/09/30/hillary-clinton-center-right/), came in audio from hacked emails revealed this week by the Washington Free Beacon (http://freebeacon.com/national-security/clinton-privately-opposed-nuclear-upgrade/). Clinton was speaking at a Virginia fundraiser hosted by Beatrice Welters, the former U.S. ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago (http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2012-11-11/orphan-us-ambassador), and her husband Anthony Welters (http://blackivygroup.com/twelters/), the executive chairman of an investment consulting firm founded by former Clinton aid Cheryl Mills.


The hacked audio provides another peek into the ideological chameleon that Hillary is on a day to day basis. As the Intercept notes, "Clinton has been inconsistent in the past about espousing political labels. She has at times touted herself as stalwart liberal. For instance, she said last July (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/04/clinton-on-defensive-new-hampshire-iowa): “I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record in standing up and fighting for progressive values.” But a few months later, she told a group in Ohio (http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/10/politics/hillary-clinton-democrat-progressive/): “You know, I get accused of being kind of moderate and center. I plead guilty.”


In one segment of the leaked audio, Hillary focused on her opponent at the time, Bernie Sanders, was pointed to successful programs in Scandinavia which provide universal daycare, family leave, and government sponsored healthcare and college education, as policies that he would seek to adopt. "Progressive" Hillary mocked the compared idea of "free college, free healthcare" to the "extreme" ideas promulgated by the right, which include "populism, nationalism and xenophobia."

What a dishonest woman.

A direct quote from the old girl

It is important to recognize what’s going on in this election. Everybody who’s ever been in an election that I’m aware of is quite bewildered because there is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates. And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel. So as a friend of mine said the other day, I am occupying from the center-left to the center-right. And I don’t have much company there. Because it is difficult when you’re running to be president, and you understand how hard the job is — I don’t want to overpromise. I don’t want to tell people things that I know we cannot do.

Not only that, but she admits she isn't a progressive. Which also makes her a liar.

Thankfully Bernie is old enough to not care.

I am an avid Bernie supporter, and I was not offended by her comments. I disagree with some of them, but this hack doesn't make me think less of her.
