Hillary Clinton must not have Wikipedia on any of her un-secure phones, because she keeps getting a Convention of States dead wrong. Recently, she was interviewed by Vox, in which she repeated lies she originally uttered during the early stages of her interminable book tour. On the podcast called “Pod Save America,” she said:
“The right wing, aided and funded by Mercers, Koch brothers, etc. is very serious about calling a constitutional convention. Part of their gerrymandering is to control state legislatures, elect republican governors. If you really get deep into what they’re advocating: limits on the first amendment, no limits on the second amendment, limits on criminal justice. I mean, there is a very insidious right wing agenda that is hard for Americans to really wrap their heads around.”
Now, she’s double downed on her lies:
“There’s a big move for change coming from the right that I think would be disastrous for our country. They want radical, ‘pull ’em up by the roots’ change. They want to have a constitutional convention to rewrite our constitution, to make it friendlier to business, to inject religious and ideological elements. So talk about radical change! They are pursuing it, they are funding it, and they are electing people that are either true believers or are willing vehicles for it.”
Watch her statements below:
There is so much wrong with Clinton’s statements. As the President of the Convention of States Project, I’d like to point out she has no idea what she’s talking about… though I get why she’s worried. Over 2.2 million people support our effort, 12 states have passed the application (on our way to the required 34), and we’re well on our way to holding the first Convention of States.
Watch me discuss why Hillary is lying below on Fox and Friends:
Remember that Hillary is actually an attorney, yet she keeps getting basic facts wrong. That has to be intentional. It’s time to fight back against the fake news that comes from the mouths of lying politicians. To join our grassroots Army, click here.
