Full Palmieri statement on Sanders' demand for an apology from Clinton: & 3

I heard Sanders --some of his stump speech today--mocking her over and over--

Full Palmieri statement on Sanders' demand for an apology from Clinton:






Three Pinnochios for @BernieSanders Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!






There’s a further problem with this calculation. Greenpeace counts all of the money raised or contributed by lobbyists as “oil/gas industry” funds, but these lobbyists have many other clients besides the oil industry. Ben Klein, one of the lobbyists highlighted in the Greenpeace report, also lobbies for American Airlines, Cigna, and Hearst, according to the lobbying disclosure database, so in theory his contributions to the Clinton campaign could also be labeled as funds for airline, insurance or media industry.
.....

The Sanders campaign is exaggerating the contributions that Clinton has received from the oil and gas industry. In the context of her overall campaign, the contributions are hardly significant. It’s especially misleading to count all of the funds raised by lobbyists with multiple clients as money “given” by the fossil-fuel industry.

Women who have had abortions are our sisters. They have the RIGHT and they deserve support. I can't stand Trump but Bernie is very cavalier on this. Too much for my taste.
