Hillary Clinton just can’t get her facts straight! The presidential candidate is in the crosshairs again, RadarOnline.com can reveal, because a new story that she’s shared on the campaign trail just isn’t adding up.
Clinton went viral this week in a touching Humans of New York post about sexist bullying she allegedly experienced as a young would-be attorney. Fans quickly reposted the vision of a kinder, gentler candidate.
But Radar can reveal that several aspects of her story don’t quite pass a basic fact check.
First, Clinton said, “one of [the men] even said: ‘If you take my spot, I’ll get drafted, and I’ll go to Vietnam, and I’ll die.'” And while it’s true that law students were exempt from the draft up until February 16, 1968, but Clinton graduated from Wellesley in June 1969. Therefore, she would have taken the LSAT in 1969 or late 1968 — in both cases, long after she could have been accused of taking someone’s “spot.”
Former Clinton aide Dick Morris told Radar, “Good, story, but it’s a made-up yarn!”
Morris said the tale was a “whopper,” a “blatant lie designed to make her look more human and vulnerable.”
Indeed, in her memoir, Living History, Clinton does not mention the supposedly scarring incident at all, merely writing, “I took the law school admissions test and applied to several schools.”
Said Morris, “As always, her story makes her out to be a hero, battling against a cold cruel world.”
Indeed, this is hardly the first time that Clinton’s been caught fudging the truth to make herself the victim.
In one incident, she claimed to be named after Mt. Everest climber Sir Edmund Hillary. Only problem? He climbed the great peak five years AFTER she was born!
She once said she “followed her heart” to move to Arkansas to practice law, but it was then revealed that she flunked the DC Bar and the Arkansas Bar was the only one she passed.
But perhaps the most famous fib was exposed in 2008: Clinton recalled “landing under sniper fire” in Bosnia in 1996, during a speech at George Washington University. Almost immediately, the Washington Post published photos of the landing, which showed her happily receiving flowers from local children — and definitely not a sniper in sight.
Said Morris, “Now, she is under pressure from her campaign staff to soften her image and humanize herself. So she did what she always does: She lies and makes up a story
More of a headline would be.....Hillary told the truth! that will never be one though.
Hillary lied again? It must be Monday.
was there some sniper fire in the classroom?? lol!
Just look at all the sniper fire she has to put up with on this forum while running for her rightful place to follow Emperor BO I. < / sarcasm >
When she approached her Secret Service vehicle yesterday she was just ducking more sniper fire and took refuge in Chelsea’s apartment until the unknown culprit(s) ran out of ammunition.
Lest we forget, she also claimed to have tried to join the Marines shortly before marrying Bill, only to be told she was too old. Bill himself told the story that she tried for the Army and was turned down due to eyesight.
A life filled with rejection and oppression.
No wonder she’s so bitter.
Who are you going to believe? Hillary? Or your lying eyes?
The only thing shocking would be if someone was shocked that Hildabeast lied.
She did fail the bar and later got herself kicked out of the Watergate committee for unethical behavior.
Her Marine lie claimed that she was turned down for being female. Age wasn’t part of the story.
From the Daily Caller fact check:
The Washington Post’s fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, gave Hillary Clinton two Pinocchios — a rating given for significant omissions and exaggerations — for an old story she repeated this week about the time she says she applied to the Marines in 1975.
Hillary Diane Rodham was a rising legal star at the time — and would soon marry future President Bill Clinton — when she claims she went to a Marine recruiting office in Arkansas to sign up for the Corps.
But a young recruiter rejected the 26-year-old, telling her that she was too old, but that the Army might take her.
“He looks at me and he goes, ‘Um, how old are you?’ And I said ‘Well, I’m 26, I’m going to be 27.’ And he goes, ‘Well, that’s kind of old for us,’” the recruiter told her, she said Tuesday.
Billary never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
But Bill’s got to be embarrassed. I don’t recall that he was as fluent with whoppers as Hildabeast.
Of course it’s all relative.
(”Ah took the law boards and these heah chicks was a-hangin’ all ovah me ... givin’ me chubbies an’ everthin’, yes sir.”)
Strange - I was almost 100% certain she had suffered from sexism rather than ageism. Well, as long as she was able to triumph over the oppression she encountered, all is well in her fertile imagination.
Shrillary only failed the DC bar exam because she was busy dodging sniper fire.
As for the LSAT story, I called b.s. on that the moment I saw it (as did others ofc). Even without knowing when LBJ ended the deferments for grad school, it just smelled of the kind of b.s. feminist tale that people like Hillary make up.
Why have we never heard that tale before 2016??? If it had actually happened Hillary would have regaled us with it countless times through the years, and especially in her memoirs. No, she made it up now because she needed it now, but this time she is caught out fabricating for her sordid political purposes.
Onliy trounle is that the Draft enden in 1962
