The Clinton Foundation will continue to accept donations from foreign countries—but not from Saudi Arabia, donations from which have set off an embarrassing protest movement against newly-declared Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Clinton resigned from the Foundation’s Board of Directors last week as protests mounted in the media and on the campaign trail over the family foundation’s acceptance of donations from Saudi Arabia, which denies women many of the rights Clinton and the foundation claim to stand for. …

I’m not impressed when someone takes billions from another country buying influence then says they won’t do it anymore.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

They gave a lot of the money back too, right? Oh, sorry, I must have been thinking about different Clintons.

Hillary resigned from the board of directors of the Clinton foundation? Anybody else believe that this means she doesn’t have any involvement with the family’s business???? Really???

Penny wise, pound foolish, and a little too late to make amends. Stick it Clintons....

I guarantee the Clintons will figure out a back door for the donations. We all know these donations are a money laundering scam to kick in funding for the campaign.

You’re not alone.

$2.5 billion can buy a lot of love in certain places, but it won’t buy love from conservatives, and even liberals are catching on.

So who is currently on the Foundation’s Board of Directors?

Saudis will just give the money to some little popcorn fart other country/dictatorship who will then give it to the Clinton Foundation.

The Clinton crime family will still get their kickbacks/extortion/bribes, count on it.

Right . . . . We're supposed to believe this?

[Organic Panic]

wink wink nod nod. Really, we won't take Saudi money.

[Gaffer]

Yet we see nothing about ‘giving back’ anything thus far donated. Perhaps that donation(s) was enough for perpetuity.

If hillary would promise to put Saudi Arabia on that list of sponsors of terrorism and have sanctions against them, then I'd be impressed.

There's not one pol, either party, who doesn't bow to the House of Saud. Now's the chance for one of those constitutional conservatives who supposedly wants to change things to do so.

I’m SUUUUURRRREE that it is IMMMMPOSSIBLE to launder any $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ coming from the Saudis.
