I wonder did the movie specifically mention William M. "Boss" Tweed, who ran a graft scheme while heading Tammany Hall, New York City's Democratic Party "political machine," between 1853 and 1871.

Given what I've read about Tweed's graft scheme, the Clinton Foundation is essentially a writ large version of that scheme. A scheme that benefited the Clintons while destroying lives in central Africa and Haiti--disgusting!

No. Never covered that. Was mostly about the Dems supporting slavery, and never voting to terminate it, while the Republicans managed to vote to get slavery abolished. The Dem elites formed the Ku Klux Klan. Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson come off badly. He didn’t go after Hillary as much as I would have liked...probably worried about lawsuits or meeting with an untimely end.

The movie is packed with so many names, events, history but not Tweed. Probably not enough time to cover him. However, Dinesh does show the connection between Clinton and Alinsky, in great detail. It also shows how Hillary fronted for the bevy of Bill's affairs and only got upset when he got caught. It also showed how they cleaned out the White House when they departed. The audience loved it!
