FULL Title:FACT CHECK: Hillary Said 90% of Clinton Foundation Donations go to Charity. Actual Number? 5.7%
Hillary Clinton told a whopper of a lie during last night's debate when she claimed 90% of the money donated to the Clinton Foundation is paid out in charity.
The truth is only 5.7% of their "massive budget" in 2014 went to charitable grants, "the rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and 'other expenses.'"
As The Daily Caller reports: Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.”
The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’s IRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants.

“Charity” is the Clinton’s nickname for themselves.
Of course, and as the old saying goes: "Charity begins at home".
I was screaming in my car at the radio when she said that. Would definitely make a great Meme
...and Beverly...and Buffy...and all the rest of Bill's mistresses...
There are a number of Clinton operations, the Clinton Foundation, Clinton Global Initiative, the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation and who knows how many others. It could be that she was telling the exact truth, and there are other Clinton operations that operate at 5.7%.
Hitlery was misinterpreted, she meant 90% of the 5.7%.
One thing this last debate confirmed: Hillary Clinton is a genius at deception.
And Johnny-on-the-spot Wallace, so quick to fact check on Trump, was nowhere to be found.
People don’t care. We stress ourselves out over doing the right thing and the majority of people don’t care!
Missed it by that much, Chief.
This was common knowledge long before the debate. I was really surprised Trump did not call her out on that blatant lie.
Yes, like 90% goes to the Clintons. I think she did this on purpose so that those who bother to look it up will think it's a misprint.
She just misspoke. It was meant to be the other way around. So...she didn’t lie.
Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
Charity was the name of the Little Rock madam...
She has never told the truth since her acid trips as a filthy hippie in the 60’s.
Win!!!
I've know about this for a while.
Trump should have smacked her lie down with it.
Hillary lies. That’s what she does best. She no doubt started this as a girl in her parents’ home, and through 60+ years has become so practiced that she could fool any lie detector.
However, God is the perfect lie detector: “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, their second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Me too. Of course he can still bring it up on the trail but it won't be reported by the MSM.
