Reince Priebusm chairman of the Republican National Committee.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee says Hillary Clinton should “account for all of the money she received at the Clinton Global Initiative.”

“Then once she gives forth an accurate accounting, then people like you and others that you’re going to have on your show can look through it and figure out whether or not these are things that we need to look into further,” Reince Priebus told host Bob Schieffer Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who already has announced his bid for the GOP presidential nomination, took swipes at the donations to the Clinton foundation in other interviews Sunday, making the case that Clinton will lose credibility among women voters because of the way the foundation took contributions from Saudi Arabia and other foreign countries that have been cited for violating women’s rights.

ZACHARY WARMBRODT

Priebus tried to make a distinction between foreign donations to the Clinton foundation and opaque funding that politicians in general receive.

“The difference is, all those other entities, super PACs, parties, individual candidates, they can’t take money from kings of Saudi Arabia and Morocco and Oman and Yemen and that’s what Hillary Clinton did,” Priebus said.

Priebus conceded that Republicans have a “higher burden” in terms of electoral votes versus the Democrats, adding the GOP was “working on expanding the map” with outreach to Hispanic and black voters.

“There’s no doubt that we have to be about perfect and the other side can be about good,” he said.

Money looks like the one thing Hillary IS going to have.

Huge campaign money, because it’s starting to look like the Chicago Mob is taking a pass on this election and she’s gonna coast to the nomination.

Previously I was thinking she was going to have a long costly battle with Warren.

Where has Preibus been hiding? I forget we even have a Chairman of the National Committee. That tongue twister of “Reince” is not even his real first name, it’s actually Reinhold Richard Priebus. God only knows why he changed it. Reince could have made life easier for people learning about him just by saying “I’m a Dick”./

So, Mr. Rancid Prius, how do you intend to force her to do it?

Aren’t you connected in some way to Republican Members of Congress? Could you, perhaps, make a suggestion that Congress force Ms. Clinton to make these disclosures?

Or hadn’t that occurred to you?

YOU MORON

Gore? That is the last person I think would get the DNC pick. Hillary won’t answer questions about her foundation just like Obama didn’t answer questions about his transcripts from college. Once the liberals come on board with Hillary, she will be protected from the big mean media and Republicans.
