WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Clinton's campaign says it's seeing "increasingly ratcheted-up personal attacks" from rival Bernie Sanders, his campaign and surrogates.
Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri says in a statement that "it's disappointing that they've doubled down on negative character attacks that deliberately mislead voters rather than debate the issues."
Sanders has said Clinton should apologize for saying he's lying about her record.
But the Clinton spokeswoman says the campaign won't apologize and calls Sanders' tactics "a desperate move" from a campaign conducting "misleading attacks."

(1,947 posts)due to the fact many Americans aren't into the coronation of Her Corporate Majesty. We saw her temperament regarding the Greenpeace activist. Her feeling of entitlement has worn people thin.

(15,189 posts)So now facts are called "misleading attacks."
She needs to apologize because that was GreenPeace not a Bernie supporter. And the Clinton's have ALWAYS been desperate.

(12,530 posts)So why is it that Hillary Clinton has leveled this accusation, but is completely unable to iterate these lies?
Of course we all know the actual answer: Hillary Clinton is lying about lying. And this is perfect for her; the irony oozes. If she is elected, we will have a compulsive liar running the United States.

(21,210 posts)"During a campaign stop and fundraiser in New York yesterday, Hillary Clinton was asked by a young woman if shed stop taking money from the fossil fuel industry. It was a simple question, one she could have easily answered with a "yes," or, perhaps because of the way she funds her campaign, responded with a "no."
Instead, she said she was "sick of the Sanders campaign lying" about the donations she receives.
Now, heres the truth the hard numbers dont lie. And its something everyone should know as this video spreads online and is covered in the news: The fossil fuel industry has given more than $4.5 million to Hillary Clintons campaign and her top super PAC, including 11 lobbyists who have bundled more than $1 million to her put her in the White House.
Earlier in this campaign, Bernie Sanders and Martin OMalley signed a pledge to refuse money from fossil fuel interests. No Republican added their name, which isnt surprising given that they dont believe climate change is real. But neither did Hillary Clinton. Its time for her to distance herself from the Republicans on this issue and add her name.
Ask Hillary Clinton to sign the pledge launched by Greenpeace USA and 20 other organizations asking all presidential candidates to reject fossil fuel contributions, because you cannot be expected to take an industry on while youre taking their money.

When we talk about our responsibilities as humans beings, there is nothing more important than leaving this country and our entire planet in a way that is habitable to our children and grandchildren. Donald Trump may believe that climate change is a hoax being perpetrated by the Chinese, but for almost everyone else, the debate is over. The scientific community is unanimous on this issue.
And what the scientists are saying is that we must boldly transform our energy system away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency. Unfortunately one of the biggest obstacles to realizing that goal is a corrupt system of campaign finance that enriches the CEOs of fossil fuel companies at the expense of average Americans and our planet.
The easiest way to reject their influence is to refuse their money. And it would send a powerful message if the leading presidential candidates in the Democratic Party both stand up and say ENOUGH is ENOUGH, we are tired of fossil fuel companies regulating Congress with their campaign contributions and not the other way around.
Bernie has taken that pledge. Its time for Hillary Clinton to join him.
Ask Hillary Clinton to sign the pledge launched by Greenpeace USA and 20 other organizations asking all presidential candidates to reject fossil fuel contributions, because you cannot be expected to take an industry on while youre taking their money.
The United States must lead the world in fighting climate change. CEOs are making record profits, while climate change ravages our planet and our people. Refusing their money is the first step towards combatting their obscene influence."

(3,431 posts)but let's be honest since several months now
MSNBC has become the protection channel
for HRC.
It cannot be overlooked, because COMCAST
owns it, and its CEO has thrown parties for
her financial support.
Hence, no matter what who says now on
that channel has to be taken with a barrel
of salt.I used to look forward to the evening
section, but now I skip it totally.

She projects her lying on everyone else.
And she attacks Bernie's lifelong record of honesty.

(1,166 posts)It comes off as winging and whining and weak. I've been watching live streams of rally after rally after Bernie rally and have not heard one personal attack. if a campaign is going to stoop to throwing out crap claims to be spread far and wide through the corporate media, you'd think they could at least think of something better than this.
