Hillary used EMILY's list as a Vendetta against Lucy Flores for endorsing Senator Sanders...

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

Lucy Flores was the first Latina assemblywoman in Nevada and made national news when she became one of the first elected officials to testify about an abortion she had at the age of 16.

During her 2014 campaign one D.C. pro-choice group, EMILY’s List, endorsed her and added that she was an "inspiring community leader." They even kicked off a program to elect more Latinas to Congress in 2016.

But then Lucy Flores endorsed our political revolution before the Nevada caucus, and everything changed. EMILY’s List decided to endorse a different person in Lucy’s House race this time around. So I want to support Lucy like she’s supported us, because we stand together. And I am asking you to join me:

Split a $27 contribution between our campaign and Lucy Flores today and send a powerful message that we are going to win this primary AND elect a Congress willing to stand up to the political establishment and billionaire class of this country.

Throughout this campaign, I’ve told you that no candidate for president – not Bernie Sanders, not the greatest president you could possibly imagine – can take on the billionaire class alone.

Lucy Flores is exactly the kind of person I'm going to need in Congress when I am president. And we can help get her there. That’s why your contribution is so important.

See in bold... I don't think that is a coincidence. That is the type of quid pro quo we will get if Hillary gets the nomination. No Thanks! No Ma'am, No cauliflower, no green beans, no gravy! #ByeHillicia!

1. Sounds like a GREAT investment in the future of this country. n/t

[KPN]

2. That was my first thought too.

The DNC/Clintons quid pro quo behavior is repulsive.

[jillan]

3. I do not understand these so called women's groups that throw women under the bus.

Shouldn't their goal be to elect women regardless of which candidate they support?

[NWCorona]

6. Exactly! I don't post on it much

But I see it happening too...

[haikugal]

57. Didn't someone recently say there was a special place in hell for people like this? nt

[riderinthestorm]

4. Disgusting vindictiveness from the Clintons inspires today's contribution to Lucy Flores

[oasis]

23. What's "disgusting"? How about making up shit about a Dem front runner.

[revbones]

35. No need to make up anything, she's corrupt enough as it is. Lies on a daily basis as well. nt

[oasis]

55. You'll have 8 more years to dwell in your perception. nt

[revbones]

58. That how long the jail term is going to be? You know something we don't?

Didn't think they releaed any FBI info yet.

[SheenaR]

51. What is made up?

And who cares if the person is a front runner or in dead last? There are no exemptions for this behavior.

[oasis]

53. If there's no evidence of Hill's involvement it's "made up".

Get it?

[SheenaR]

59. Yup. EMILYS List did this completely on their own. You got me n/t

[oasis]

60. They chose who they believed to be the better candidate

for congress. Hillary's too busy to worry about one endorsement when she has hundreds. Get real.

[SheenaR]

62. I am very real

This is just yet another reminder that you don't cross the Clintons. If you're blind to that, not my problem

[snowy owl]

7. Sending $$$ - Tired of Hillary groups bullying to get endorsements. Gabbard was victim too.

[m-lekktor]

8. yep, there are "consequences" for not falling in line like the rest! nt

[vintx]

9. K&R

[Politicalboi]

10. Emily's list is garbage

And so is Hillary.

[restorefreedom]

11. vendettas. its the clinton way. nt

[FlatBaroque]

34. It is one of the hallmarks of Clintonism./

[restorefreedom]

38. hopefully NOT a hallmark of the next w.h. nt

[NCTraveler]

12. Aren't there eight democrats running for this seat?

Didn't EL endorse one of the others?

[oasis]

13. Another OP making accusations against Hillary with ZERO PROOF.

[NCTraveler]

16. There were eight democrats running.

Here is who EL endorsed.

[NCTraveler]

14. Here is the Democrat EL endorsed. This is really shady the way it is being presented.

http://www.emilyslist.org/news/entry/emilys-list-endorses-susie-lee-for-congress-in-nevadas-fourth-congressional

Do you find her to not be worthy of endorsement. I also don't see her on Clintons list of endorsements.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

17. Susie Lee, who EMILY's list endorsed, had endorsed Clinton

[NCTraveler]

19. That is good to hear that she endorsed Clinton.

Now, out of the eight democrats running for this seat, why do you think she wasn't worthy of the endorsement?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

20. Why did EMILY's list create an initiative for 2016 to elect Latinas to congress...

And then opt to not endorse a Latina candidate for Congress they had endorsed in the past

[NCTraveler]

21. Because out of the eight dems running for the seat, they are backing Lee.

Do you have a link to her endorsing Clinton?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

25. Here

[NCTraveler]

27. Wish I could find her endorsement. I love reading why so many kick ass people support Clinton.

Thanks.

[KingFlorez]

24. She lost a statewide race by double digits

But, you probably didn't know that

http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=790611

She lost Clark County of all places. They aren't going to endorse someone who lost that badly in another race and she certainly wasn't owed an endorsement just for being Hispanic.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

31. Lucy Flores was the first Latina Assembleywoman...

There is no amount of spin that can rationalize a women's group who has made it a mission to get Latina's elected to Congress in 2016 to not endorse a Latina running for Congress. Especially one they endorsed before and one who succeeded in becoming the first Latina Assemblywoman in Nevada...

[randome]

48. Ah, so ethnicity should always be our primary test for endorsements.

Well, at least it's out in the open now. And it's pathetic.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]You should never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[KingFlorez]

56. She was endorsed for her run as Lt. Governor

Let's get that clear, there seems to be some attempt at misleading that they endorsed her for Congress and then took it back because she didn't endorse Clinton. They endorsed her for Lt. Governor in 2014.

Endorsements should not be based on race or ethnicity. Flores performed badly in her previous race and that clearly gave Emily's List some reservations.

[SFnomad]

15. Smearing Secretary Clinton without a shred of proof ... it's the BS cheerleader's way! n/t

[FlatBaroque]

36. RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH!!!

[revbones]

37. There's enough proof of her corruption and lies for you to just google yourself.

Say, how do you eat with your head in the sand like that?

[SFnomad]

44. The OP says "Hillary used EMILY's list" ... without a shred of proof

that she was behind the Emily's List endorsement. But that's ok for those of you that don't require any proof.

[felix_numinous]

18. K&R!

[KingFlorez]

22. Flores was not going to get the endorsement regardless

The result of the 2014 Lt. Governor race probably factored into her not getting the endorsement. When you lose by double digits for one race it's not likely you'll get an endorsement for another race.

And what the hell does Hillary Clinton have to do with this? It's sheer insanity to even tie this to the presidential race. Stop it, because you are making yourself look really bad.

[giftedgirl77]

42. Wait, so they hadn't endorsed her recently?

[giftedgirl77]

26. Do you have a link or anything that may explain this flip?

I looked and can't find anything.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

32. There is no explanation from EMILY's list I am aware of...

It doesn't make sense factoring in their desire in 2016 to see Latinas elected to Congress. They instead endorsed a White woman.

[giftedgirl77]

41. That's weird.

[hack89]

45. Flores lost really big in the Lt Governor's race

losers don't always get a second chance.

[giftedgirl77]

47. So, it's not that they endorsed her in this election season then flipped?

[hack89]

49. No. They did not endorse her this election season. nt

[Uponthegears]

52. Isn't Hillary getting one

right now?

[hack89]

54. Yes.

But then her loss was pretty close - she did win the popular vote after all. Flores got her ass kicked big time.

[Freddie Stubbs]

46. Poor results in her last election:

[floriduck]

28. Donation done. nm

[rhett o rick]

29. Her fans don't care about her policies, they are looking for a tough authoritarian leader.

And nothing shows toughness like vindictiveness. I think a lot of Super-Duper Delegates are afraid of crossing H. Clinton-Sachs.

[Tarc]

30. And this is wrong...why?

[The Old Lie]

33. So the backlash has started.

Very well. EMILY's list is now dried up of any further funds from our family.

[NuclearDem]

40. ...

[BainsBane]

43. Is that a Bernie campaign email?

Is that what passes as a source now? Imagine how people would react if we posted Hillary campaign emails as sources here?

[Snotcicles]

50. I couldn't resist a donation. nt

[azmom]

61. They chose a rich white woman that is not

From the district and has never run for office before.

It's my opinion they chose to do this because Lucy supports Bernie. Lucy is very popular in the Latino community and is a pro-choice champion.

Lee is married to a wealthy CEO and is partly self-funding her campaign.
