At DNC women's forum, Hillary Clinton declares Democrats stand for truth, evidence and facts

To the tunes of Tina Turner and Katy Perry, Democrats gathered four floors below ground, deep in the Washington D.C. Marriott Marquis to hear from a litany of Democrats and one "special guest" whose name did not appear on any formal program. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took the stage to high octave cheers, addressing a female coalition at the DNC Women's Leadership Forum she founded as First Lady alongside Tipper Gore, 25 years ago.

The former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady quickly got to the question she says she's hearing from Democrats across the country: "What do the Democrats stand for?" It's a political query so many Democratic leaders have gone out of their way to address ahead of midterm elections, and in the wake of a presidential election cycle that left some on the left feeling disjointed and void of a unified message.

"We stand for truth, for evidence and facts. What an incredible thing!" Clinton exclaimed, in what may have been a lighthearted jab at an administration. Clinton continued, "We have kind of an affection for evidence. We think it should inform our policies, because they'll actually work better," she declared, prompting modest laughter from the female-dominated audience.

With DNC Chair Tom Perez standing behind her and against a pink and blue backdrop emblazoned with a large "D," Clinton praised party leadership for running a staff whose leadership positions are filled by 44 percent people of color and 70 percent women. "And you know why that's important? That is what America looks like."

So much for truth.

Hillary knew she was guilty of criminal acts way back before the election.

Why else would she declare that she knew she would be hanging from a noose if Donald Trump won the presidency?

At the time she made the following statement she had no idea that she would be saved from prosecution by Jeff Sessions.

She is still angling for the 2020 nomination. Why else would she be participating in the mid-terms.

"You wouldn’t want to discriminate against a woman, would you?"

That's not a woman, that's an animal.
