Queen of Crony Campaigns Says If Elected She Will “Overturn” Citizens United Ruling
Oh, that’s rich.
The old lady who’s spending other-peoples-money like a drunken sailor is suddenly a champion of “campaign reform?”
That’s like having a serial killer give a lecture on the value of human life.
Hillary Clinton, the QUEEN of crony-campaigns overflowing with foreign money from Middle Eastern countries who treat women and gays as second-rate citizens, is now promising to “overturn” the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United……..
…….AFTER she “wins” the election.
For the love……
The Citizens United ruling was a gut-punch to the American people.
In short, the SCOTUS ruled that political spending is a form of “free speech” and protected under the First Amendment, and the government may not keep corporations or unions from spending money to support or denounce individual candidates in elections.
Basically, that ruling allows people like Hillary Clinton to “buy” the presidency.
Which is why she’ll address it AFTER the election – because right now she’s got a White House to purchase.
If Hillary Clinton truly believes in campaign reform why not start right away by disavowing SuperPacs?
Like, today?
From USA Today:
Democrat Hillary Clinton will call for a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision in her first 30 days as president, her campaign said.
Clinton was slated to announce the plan Saturday in a video message to progressive activists at the Netroots Nation annual conference, as she works to shore up support among voters loyal to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders who made reducing the influence of the wealthy an animating principle of his presidential campaign.
Clinton first made the pledge to overturn the decision in 2015 during the opening week of her presidential campaign. The 2010 high court ruling, which allowed unlimited corporate and union spending in elections, has helped release a flood of political money in federal, state and local contests.
In a statement, campaign officials called overturning the controversial decision a key part of Clinton’s plan to “challenge the stranglehold that wealthy interests have over our political system.”
Clinton also pledged to take other actions long sought by campaign-finance watchdogs, including signing an executive order requiring companies with federal contracts to disclose their political spending.
You can’t read that with a straight face.
Hillary panders to people the same way you and I breathe or blink.
For her, it’s an involuntary act that “just happens.”
I agree with Hillary that big corporate donors should not be deciding elections.
Neither should big oily Saudi princes, Hillary.
In truth, campaign reform is what drew me to Donald Trump.
He spent his own money during the primary.
Can Hillary say the same?
No, she can’t.
Hillary “beat” Bernie with lots and lots of corporate (and foreign) money – and a pocket-full of magical “super delegates.”
Sounds fair.
In light of Hillary’s new dedication to “responsible campaigning,” I call on her to disclose all the foreign money she has received and laundered through that Clinton Foundation scam she and her rapey husband are running.
I will leave you with this little “gem” from the USA Today article:
Hillary Clinton wants to “challenge the stranglehold that wealthy interests have over our political system.”
