"Hillary's New Wall Street Dodge: "I'm Being Singled Out!"" [View all]

By greywolfe359

Bernie’s hour ended on such a heartwarming note for me. I was in the middle of writing about his authentic, genuine and deeply moving reflection on his spirituality when the moderator asked Hillary Clinton about her Wall Street speech transcripts.

Thanks for ruining the moment for me, Madam Secretary.

“I’ve said I’ll release these when EVERYONE does, including the Republicans” and then, playing the poor (though financially well compensated) victim she says “Why am I being singled out!?”

How about this for an answer: Because you are the ONLY Democrat running for president who has a Super PAC and you are the ONLY Democrat running for president who has given paid speeches to Wall Street and made millions doing so.

And actually, you weren’t even singled out. Bernie was asked for his, too. He doesn’t have any! This is the whole point. This is a Democratic primary. You don’t get to point the finger at Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush and say I should be held to THOSE standards. Really?
