Hillary Clinton Falsely Calls Bernie Sanders a Sexist

1. Well he did say he uses DU as a source!

I give him less credibility since hearing that.

Oh by the way, is he going to discuss Sanders' flip flop on gay marriage?

[merrily]

7. Sanders' flip flop on equal marriage! LOL!

[sabrina 1]

9. Well, it depends on what 'sources' he uses. There sure is a lot of garbage that gets posted here.

But there is also a lot of great information, not as much as there used to be, but I'm sure he knows how to sort out the garbage as we all do, and find the FACTS that still do get posted here.

13. And when did this happen?

Last I checked Sanders said that he wouldn't legislate same sex marriage in 2006 due to strategic reasons (it was a very divisive issue at the time). Unlike the Clintons who signed DOMA and were against gay marriage Sanders hasn't voted against the issue. So exactly where is the flip-flop?

2. No one lies to Rachel...

Rachel will trip him/her every time...

[merrily]

8. Unless Rachel doesn't.

3. Interesting what can pass for the truth...

What's she gonna say now when she's been caught in this lie? It's her speech writer's fault?

Come on...

[raindaddy]

5. I agree.. She said it...

she needs to take responsibility for it.

[sabrina 1]

11. It was a 'mistake'??? I believe she has said that before about other issues she was wrong about.

[questionseverything]

4. mika,"i'm gonna get killed but that's ok"

she went off script there

[MrMickeysMom]

6. I hear her do that a lot...

Sometimes you can't be the corporate shill you're supposed to be...

[merrily]

10. Still, most of the time, Mika manages it.

"I'm gonna get killed," is telling, though.

[KoKo]

17. yes....!

I saw that. It was very interesting and surprising, I thought..

[merrily]

18. A woman in a male-dominated field can only be damaged by gender cards that false and lame.

So, regardless of the MSNBC script, she probably felt as though she had to say something.

Obviously, MSNBC News is establishment. They've said so themselves; and, even more obviously, Hillary is the establishment candidate. So, Mika was likely conflicted.

[think]

12. So she flat out lied about DOMA. Good grief.

[Enthusiast]

14. My guess is, Sherrod Brown is being considered for VP because he represents a swing state.

I am a long time Brown supporter. I cannot adequately express my disappointment that he endorsed Hillary.

[eridani]

16. I'm sure he'll just love defending "trade" agreements in a Clinton administration n/t

[Enthusiast]

19. Yup.

[SmittynMo]

15. Hilliary lied? Shouting?

Tell me it ain't true.

She'd NEVER do that, would she?

Hey, she's a finely oiled political machine. We need to throw some loose ball bearings in the gear box.

[Bernblu]

20. Hillary has no shame!!!

She will say or do anything to win the presidency. She makes Karl Rove and Lee Atwater (wherever he is) proud.
