People Hate Hillary Because She’s a Liar — Here are Her Biggest Lies

It’s no secret that Hillary Clinton is not the favorite son of the Democratic Party’s grassroots activists. The Machiavellian principles she seems to explicitly apply across her entire life just leave a bad taste in the mouth. Amazingly, the lack of enthusiasm for her candidacy, even among some of my own extended family members (die-hard liberal Democrats), has consistently been an interesting thought problem for this author. Why do people seem to dislike her so much; even in her own party? Is it her constant, unapologetic lying? It is her primordial, attached-at-the-hip, association with establishment politics in America? Is it her smug sense of self-satisfaction or maybe the way she sounds like a vexatious shrew when speaking at rallies? Probably all-of-the-above.

Take a look at how her un-favorability rating has been trending into the stratosphere over the last year according to Real Clear Politics Polling:

The reason? Hillary lies.

A great deal of the negative feelings Americans possess toward her has to come, at least in part, from her compulsive lying. She does it in public; about things that are very easy to fact-check. It’s almost as if she believes the stories that she is contriving while creating them. OR… she has such a narcissistic and sociopathic disdain for other people that she mistakenly believes we are all too stupid to see through her smoke and mirrors. Let’s take a look at just a few of the lies that Hillary has famously told.

Sniper Fire

In 2008, Hillary was running against president Obama in the Democratic primary. In order to bolster her foreign policy credentials and her overall “toughness,” she told a story about her visit to Bosnia, and how on her arrival, sniper fire forced them to run with their heads down from the plane to their vehicles. No meetings, no greeting time. They ran with their heads down to the vehicles. The problem with this is that the whole thing was captured on video. Did Mrs. Clinton just not see that there were cameras present? Did she conveniently forget? Or was she counting on her gross underestimation of the entire population of the US to look into her little fibs? CBS did this television news story exposing Clinton’s misappropriation of the truth.

Being Dead Broke

In an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Clinton, when asked about her multi-million dollar earnings, claimed that when she and Bill left the White house, they were “dead broke.” She went on to say they “really struggled” to “put together mortgages for,” and notice the plural here, “houses.” Not one house — houses.

Politifact, a left-leaning fact check organization, rendered this verdict on Clinton’s claim:

A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clintons were able to muster a cash down payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage. This hardly fits the common meaning of “dead broke.” We rate the claim Mostly False.

Rejected From the Marines

In a 2015 interview, Hillary told reporters a story of how she went into a Marine recruiting office to join the lauded US military force and was rejected because “she was too old.” Back in 1994, Maureen Dowd, of the New York Times, wrote a piece examining Hillary’s original claim noting these conflicting facts:

1. At the time, Hillary Rodham was an up-and-coming legal star involved with an up-and-coming political star.
2. She had made a celebrated appearance in Life magazine as an anti-establishment commencement speaker at Wellesley College, where, as president of the student government, she had organized teach-ins on her opposition to the Vietnam War.
3. She was a Yale law school graduate who had worked on the anti-war Presidential campaigns of Eugene J. McCarthy and George McGovern.
4. Mrs. Clinton told friends that she had moved to Arkansas for only one reason: to be with Bill Clinton.
5. The Clintons married on Oct. 11, 1975, in Fayetteville.

Why would an anti-war, Yale Law School graduate, about to be married that same year, go into a recruiting office to join the Marines? Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler speculated that, while it is possible Clinton went into a recruiting office, if she did, it was for a political purpose and she had no intention of actually joining the Marines. Overall, he gave the claim two Pinocchios.

There are many, many more examples of Hillary Clinton’s flagrant disregard for the truth. Just google “Hillary Clinton lies” and gaze upon the vastness of an ocean of material dedicated to her veritable indiscretions. Her ascendance over Bernie Sanders (who became quite popular despite having nearly no name recognition at all) is a tribute to the utterly desolate state of the Democratic Party in America. Bernie’s popularity was less likely a real endorsement of septuagenarian socialism, and more an expression of desperation — as people needed an alternative to voting for a true Machiavellian; someone who will say or do almost anything to gain power.

Don’t let Hillary’s intuition about the American people be true. Lying is no virtue.
