A frustrated Hillary Clinton forcefully said she was “so sick” of Bernie Sanders’ campaign alleging she accepts donations from the fossil fuel industry.

Following a campaign event in New York, the former secretary of state was approached by an environmental activist who pressed her about rejecting such contributions.

“I do not have — I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies. I am so sick — I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me,” an agitated Clinton said while angrily pointing her figure at the activist. “I’m sick of it.”

Thursday’s outburst wasn’t the first time Clinton has been accused of accepting money from the fossil fuel industry. After a campaign event late last year in Iowa, Steve Patterson, a leader of a local climate change group in Iowa, asked Clinton if she would join Sanders and Martin O’Malley and commit to rejecting money from the fossil fuel industry.

1. First! Reposting from other thread.

I guess that depends what is-is, when it comes to defining a donation in the voters eyes.

https://theintercept.com/2016/03/09/hillary-clinton-wants-to-regulate-fracking-but-still-accepts-a-lot-of-fracking-money/

On Wednesday, the Clinton campaign was to hold a $575-a-head fundraising lunch at a Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the Northern California coast hosted by Alisa Wood, a partner at the international private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR).

In 2009, KKR began heavily investing in fracking, purchasing large shares of three North American oil and gas companies, and selling two of them for billions in profits. The third was hit hard by plummeting gas prices, and declared bankruptcy last year. But KKR was not deterred, and still owns a large portfolio of small fossil fuel companies, at least two of which — Cinco Industries and Comstock Resources — use fracking.

-snip-

Many of Clinton’s largest fundraisers are lobbyists for oil and gas corporations. Some of her largest contribution bundlers are lobbyists representing Chevron, Cheniere Energy, and TransCanada — all companies that use fracking.

Prior to announcing her candidacy, Clinton also received $990,000 for speeches she made to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce — a heavy investor in TransCanada and the Keystone XL pipeline.

27. Is this an outright lie or hedging? How do you think she sees it? Or is she lying?

How do you see it?

[CorporatistNation]

42. Either STRAIGHT UP LYING OR ITS NEAR EQUIVALENT OBFUSCATION BOTH OF WHICH SHE IS AN EXPERT AT!

SHE CANNOT TELL YOU WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 WHAT TIME IT IS W/O LYING ABOUT IT!

[CoffeeCat]

2. She's coming unhinged

Knowing that you will be grilled by the head of the FBI within days, can take its toll.

[NWCorona]

4. The stress must be intense

[CoffeeCat]

23. Hillary claimed that some of the emails she deleted off of her server

were yoga routines.

Maybe now would be a good time for Hillary to locate those emails and find some zen.

She'll be talking with Comey soon. Maybe he can return those yoga emails to her.

[yourpaljoey]

36. I would crack like a shell

will she lie and perjure?
tell truth and admit to felonies?
take the Fifth and invite indictment?

does she know what? she plans on saying?

[NWCorona]

39. Definitely a no win situation.

[CoffeeCat]

14. "Clinton's Top Campaign Financiers Linked to Big Oil, Natural Gas and Keystone"

Wow, so much outrage for supposed "lies" that Hillary alleges the Sanders campaign is telling about her. WRONG!

Actually, Hillary is the one lying. Her outrage is a load of hot air.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics Clinton has taken $160,000 from people who work for oil and gas companies.

According to this Huffington Post article, "Clinton’s top campaign financiers are linked to Big Oil, natural gas and the Keystone pipeline."

"Nearly all of the lobbyists bundling contributions for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign have at one time or another worked for the fossil fuel industry."

"Ankit Desai, vice president for government relations at top LNG exporter Cheniere Energy, bundled $82,000 to the Clinton camp, with much of it coming from Cheniere Energy executives. Cheniere executives, including Desai, have donated $38,800 to Clinton’s campaign."

[scscholar]

18. Unhinged?

Uhhh, wouldn't you be upset at someone lying about you? Her reaction is perfectly normal.

[CoffeeCat]

20. That's the unhinged part---No one is lying about Clinton. She's in deep the fossil-fuel industry

"Hillary Clinton’s Biggest Campaign Bundlers Are Fossil Fuel Lobbyists"

Clinton’s top campaign financiers are linked to Big Oil, natural gas and the Keystone pipeline.

WASHINGTON — Nearly all of the lobbyists bundling contributions for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign have at one time or another worked for the fossil fuel industry.

A list of 40 registered lobbyists that the Clinton camp disclosed to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday revealed a number of Democratic Party lobbyists who have worked against regulations to curb climate change, advocated for offshore drilling, or sought government approval for natural gas exports.

Clinton, the former secretary of state, has called climate change the most “consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world” and says it would be a major focus of her administration if she wins the White House. But having so many supporters who have sold their services to fossil fuel companies may complicate her emphasis on pro-environment policies.

Scott Parven and Brian Pomper, lobbyists at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, have been registered to lobby for the Southern California-based oil giant Chevron since 2006, with contracts totaling more than $3 million. The two bundled Clinton contributions of $24,700 and $29,700, respectively. They have helped Chevron over the years resist efforts to eliminate oil and gas tax breaks and to impose regulations to reduce carbon emissions.

22. What.lies, please? n/t

[snowy owl]

31. crickets chirping, chirping, chirping . . .

She never thought she'd be primaried. She expected to coast all the way and it is finally unnerving her. Is this what we want to see in a President? I'm curious, how many times have you seen Obama lose his cool? or even Bill when he was Pres? More recently yes but not then. Gotta stay cool, lady.

[Ghost Dog]

38. Yup.

No surprise there.

[CoffeeCat]

49. Owls hooting, wolves howling...

No word yet on those lies.

We'll be here though. Waiting.

[Segami]

46. Stand back, she's going to pop any second now...lol!

[Skwmom]

3. Earth to Clinton - I've lost track of the number of lies you've told about Bernie. n/t

[DisgustipatedinCA]

5. Hillary: Name those lies, or we'll be left to conclude you're the liar (but we knew that already)

Clinton fans: what lies is she referring to?

[JI7]

6. this will probably help her get more support

[artislife]

10. Really? From the frackers?

Don't they have a whole party that loves fracking like they do? I think Bernie is the only one who doesn't.

[CoffeeCat]

19. LOL! This will be so damaging to Hillary. Don't kid yourself.

She snapped at someone, then accused them of lying.

A quick Google search CLEARLY shows that she is in bed with the fossil fuel industry, the fracking industry and those leveraging Keystone.

What's going to happen is that this clip will be played--showing her unhinged behavior--and then the "fact checking" portion of the segment will show that she DOES in fact receive a lot of money from those in the fossil-fuel industry. Furthermore, the fossil-fuel industry has also given millions to the Clinton Foundation.

She just lost this round. Sorry.

Some facts:
According to the Center for Responsive Politics Clinton has taken $160,000 from people who work for oil and gas companies.

According to this Huffington Post article, "Clinton’s top campaign financiers are linked to Big Oil, natural gas and the Keystone pipeline."

"Nearly all of the lobbyists bundling contributions for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign have at one time or another worked for the fossil fuel industry."

"Ankit Desai, vice president for government relations at top LNG exporter Cheniere Energy, bundled $82,000 to the Clinton camp, with much of it coming from Cheniere Energy executives. Cheniere executives, including Desai, have donated $38,800 to Clinton’s campaign."

43. She has to know this info is out there and documented...

That was what was so bizarre about her two outbursts to her audience today.

I think it could be Comey and the Server/E-Mail Situation. She may have been called to appear and give testimony and that's why she left Wisconsin and came back to NY.

[CoffeeCat]

48. I'm wondering if their internal polling

in NY has shown bad news for Hillary.

Some say she left Wisconsin and headed straight for NY. Her Madison event was an "invite-only" talk to a few hundred people.

So she's solely focusing on NY--and that contest is 19 days away.

She sure was not in control today. The claws came out.

I think things may be falling apart for her, on multiple fronts.

[nichomachus]

7. First, Bill loses it. Now, Hillary.

So sad. She doesn't have what it takes to be president.

Well, at least she didn't throw something at the poor person who asked a legitimate question.

[DemocracyDirect]

8. How Projectionly Rovian

Projecting your worst quality onto other people, her lying.

And attacking your opponents greatest strength, his honesty.

[PFunk1]

9. I think all attempts at bridge building with Sanders supporters are now out

Apparently with crap like this she now doesn't need to win over Sanders supports to help her win this. Which begs the question who is she going to replace us with.

[Broward]

11. Many of us are sick of you Hillary, nt.

[CharlotteVale]

41. +1000000

[dogman]

12. Will this make the M$M?

Will Rachel run in breathless to show us the latest from the campaign trail?

[snowy owl]

34. Love it!

[azmom]

13. True colors shining true.

[frylock]

15. Wow. Not ready for prime time.

[FlatBaroque]

16. Can someone make a montage of the times She has lost it while speaking with

young, politically engaged women?

[tex-wyo-dem]

21. No kidding...

How dare this young woman cross paths with HRH. Maybe there's a special place in hell...

[thereismore]

29. Yeah, like BLM "I'll only talk to white people", that Muslim girl in MN "run for something", and

the BLM activist in SC who paid $500 to get to a private fundraiser and got escorted. That would be quite a collection.

[FlatBaroque]

30. I wonder if tRump would make a commercial out of that...

[Kall]

32. At least she didn't say

"Well, why don't *you* go run for something" this time.

Anyways, perhaps Mrs. Bosnian Sniper Fire will educate us more about lying and why it's wrong. I'm thinking about how Bernie's universal Medicare proposal would supposedly take health care away from "millions and millions and millions of people, or how his D- rating from the NRA makes him a "reliable vote for the NRA", but the other lies have got range too.

[KoKo]

44. Last times I remember it was in SC with the BLM Activist and before that

way back meeting with BLM Activists where she pretty much told them that what they wanted wasn't going to happen. She was more riled up in SC when she had the young woman escorted out of the building rather than addressing her issues. But, that was at a fundraiser. This time, today, was in front of two rallies where she was trying to get people to support her!

[Raine]

17. Sick of YOU Hillary! nt

[newfie11]

24. Hahahahaha

She's nuts!

[Vote2016]

25. that's a biased photo.

[Land of Enchantment]

26. Wowsers. Seems like it didn't take much to unleash that anger

and that's what is was--pure anger. The sources of which we can but speculate and I am sure there are many.

[dogman]

28. That's a winner don't you know?

Losers ask for civil debates. You're entering neverland.

[99Forever]

33. Got Prozac?

And this maniac wants to be POTUS?

[grossproffit]

35. People still take Prozac?

[99Forever]

37. Why you asking me?

I don't allow people who act psycho like Hillary anywhere near me.

[NorthCarolina]

40. Bottom Line, has she accepted money from the fossil fuel industry or not?

eom

[morningfog]

45. What was Bernie's lie? Not cool hillaryZ

[Segami]

47. Kick...
