Hillary Clinton just can’t get her facts straight! The presidential candidate is in the crosshairs again, RadarOnline.com can reveal, because a new story that she’s shared on the campaign trail just isn’t adding up.
Clinton went viral this week in a touching Humans of New York post about sexist bullying she allegedly experienced as a young would-be attorney. Fans quickly reposted the vision of a kinder, gentler candidate.
But Radar can reveal that several aspects of her story don’t quite pass a basic fact check.
First, Clinton said, “one of [the men] even said: ‘If you take my spot, I’ll get drafted, and I’ll go to Vietnam, and I’ll die.'” And while it’s true that law students were exempt from the draft up until February 16, 1968, but Clinton graduated from Wellesley in June 1969. Therefore, she would have taken the LSAT in 1969 or late 1968 — in both cases, long after she could have been accused of taking someone’s “spot.”
Former Clinton aide Dick Morris told Radar, “Good, story, but it’s a made-up yarn!”
Morris said the tale was a “whopper,” a “blatant lie designed to make her look more human and vulnerable.”
Indeed, in her memoir, Living History, Clinton does not mention the supposedly scarring incident at all, merely writing, “I took the law school admissions test and applied to several schools.”
Said Morris, “As always, her story makes her out to be a hero, battling against a cold cruel world.”
Indeed, this is hardly the first time that Clinton’s been caught fudging the truth to make herself the victim.
In one incident, she claimed to be named after Mt. Everest climber Sir Edmund Hillary. Only problem? He climbed the great peak five years AFTER she was born!
She once said she “followed her heart” to move to Arkansas to practice law, but it was then revealed that she flunked the DC Bar and the Arkansas Bar was the only one she passed.
But perhaps the most famous fib was exposed in 2008: Clinton recalled “landing under sniper fire” in Bosnia in 1996, during a speech at George Washington University. Almost immediately, the Washington Post published photos of the landing, which showed her happily receiving flowers from local children — and definitely not a sniper in sight.
Said Morris, “Now, she is under pressure from her campaign staff to soften her image and humanize herself. So she did what she always does: She lies and makes up a story
She was modest. She didn’t reveal she was under sniper fire while taking the LSAT.
The law school story sounded like a lie from a mile away, even if it was told be anyone besides HiLIARy. She could have said vaguely “I battled sexism and discrimination my whole academic career”, but she just has to flat out tell incredible, specific lies. It’s in her DNA.
Anybody know the year Hillary! was admitted to the bar in Arkansas?
Did her husband’s political connections play a role?
...always the victim
On Mt. Everest, where she was in no ways tarred.
Hillary, like most liberals, don’t lie. They speak allegorically. They even named the manner of speech, allegory, after Al Gore, who is really good at it.
Not to entire telling all that Chelsea Hubble was almost killed on 9/11 when she was actually 4 miles away asleep when the planes hit.
She just likes to lie. She marries a man who likes to lie. They became a pair of lying lawyers. They’ve gotten by with it all these years, in fact, they’ve gotten rich with it.
It’s disgusting but we’ve all seen it. The bible talks about it. It also says, basically, you can’t take it with you.
I feel for our country, but I have nothing but scorn for this woman.
But then you repeat yourself.
Oh my
“She was modest. She didn’t reveal she was under sniper fire while taking the LSAT.”
You know who told her he would be sent to Vietnam if she took his spot? Brian Williams.
And I'm sure that the military was better for it.
Also, that all of her grandparents "came over here" as immigrants -- when three of them were born here.
My favorite was people coming up to her at the rope line in her own rallies saying they'd like to vote for her but couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman.
Right, they come to her rallies, walk up to shake her hand and tell her they're not voting for her?
Hillary tells “a whopper, a blatant lie”???
Say it ain’t so!!!!
Even if she were to accidentally tell the truth no one would ever believe her.
“Right, they come to her rallies, walk up to shake her hand and tell her they’re not voting for her?
“
I did exactly that to Dennis Kucinich.
