Hillary Clinton can’t seem to help herself when it comes to telling fibs. Doesn’t she know the Internet is a vast resource that can immediately determine, within seconds, that someone is telling the truth or telling a lie? Perhaps not.
The latest lie from Clinton is in regards to where she was during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City.
Here is what she told a Florida campaign rally:
“I know what happened, not far from here at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. I was in New York City on 9/11, as one of the two senators. I will defeat ISIS, I will protect America.”
Clinton was not in New York City that day. She was in Washington. The then-New York Senator only returned to New York City the day after.
Here is what Politico reports:
She had CNN on as she talked on the phone with her legislative director when the first plane hit. Then the second. By the time she got to the Capitol, the Pentagon had been hit by a third plane. Capitol police were evacuating Senate office buildings. She dialed her daughter, who was in New York. She dialed her husband, who was in Australia. She and other senators received a briefing at the Capitol police station early in the evening. And after “a day indelibly etched in my mind,” and as nightfall approached, Clinton joined congressional colleagues on the steps of the Capitol, standing next to some of her fiercest political opponents, singing “God Bless America” with tears in her eyes.
This is similar to when Clinton said that she was under sniper fire when she arrived in Bosnia in 1996 (she wasn’t). Or the other fib that her daughter, Chelsea, was jogging near the World Trade Center. In fact, according to Chelsea herself, she was in her apartment watching the coverage at the time.
Why do the Clintons feel the need to lie? They just can’t help themselves. We all know that politicians lie, but this is lying on steroids.
