DEMOCRAT Hillary Clinton has been forced to admit her dramatic account of coming under life-threatening sniper fire during a 1996 trip to Bosnia was inaccurate.
Senator Clinton's spokesman Howard Wolfson admitted the former first lady may have "misspoke" when she recounted the story on the campaign trail, as she tried to talk up her national security experience.

Again, more evidence that Hillary is now treated by the MSM like she is a republican. Welcome to the VRWC Hillary!

She’s gonna need a support group of some kind and we’re the only ones in the country who knows what its like to have the entire MSM treating you like crap while they prop up your empty (pant)suit opponents campaign.
