Snopes held out hope for YEARS that Hillary’s mother lied to her and that Hillary was telling the truth “I was told by my mom I was named after...”.

My dad always told me I was named after Paul Newman’s character Cool Hand Luke, because I was born with severe birth defects and I needed a tough name. The thing is, my mom chose that name before I was born, and before anyone knew of my health problems. But it still makes a good story and people love stories.
