Hillary Clinton Loses Patience with Greenpeace Activist Over Fossil Fuel Donations

[NWCorona]

Hillary's not having it lol!

[AzDar]

1. Seems like sHill needs to watch her TONE... Damn.

[NWCorona]

4. I know right?

[rhett o rick]

30. I bet that makes her supporters love her all the more. She is tough. Not very good at responses

but definitely tough.

[Merryland]

2. Wow, really nasty attitude exposed

Did you catch what she said? Did she say she DOES take fossil fuel money or what?

[NWCorona]

7. It's like she started to say she doesn't but then says she does

But what lie is Bernie talking about?

[senz]

47. Yeah, her attack on Bernie was ugly.

She's acting like all criticism of her horrid past actions stems from Bernie and Bernie only. As if no one else would find anything wrong with what she does.

Hope she loses.

[Aerows]

59. She was about to say no

but then obfuscated by saying she took it from individual donors.

As though nobody can look up the donations to the SuperPACs supporting her, donations to the Clinton Foundation, and see that there are a hell of a lot more donations coming in from fossil fuel companies than just "individuals".

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Oh, so she's so sick of it?

We better bring it up .........more.

Get used to it, Madame Secretary.

[CentralCoaster]

5. I don't care for the fingerpointing, I don't care for her tone.

Secretary Clinton is not someone I would want to have a conversation or a meal with.

It's just not a likable manner to take with anyone including an activist demonstrating at a public event.

[senz]

71. Total agreement, she let her mask slip. Unpleasant revelation.

So glad it was filmed.

[astrophuss42]

6. Yikes

I'm sick of her making money off of our planet, so...............

I mean, we know she got her son in law favors for sea mining.

[GreatGazoo]

8. She uses the question to try and attack the Sanders campaign even though it is Greenpeace asking.

and btw...

Fossil fuel interests have pumped $3.25 million into the largest super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton's candidacy for the White House.

Approximately one in every 15 dollars given to Priorities USA Action, which took in $50.5 million in contributions last year, came from donors linked to oil and natural gas interests, according to data compiled by Greenpeace.

But fossil fuel interests are also sending checks directly to her campaign. Clinton has take in nearly $268,000 in contributions from individuals employed in the oil and gas sector this election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

[senz]

53. No way she's going to fight climate change.

Nearly all of the lobbyists bundling contributions for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign have at one time or another worked for the fossil fuel industry.

9. Meet the Fossil Fuel Lobbyists Raising Money for Hillary Clinton

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/07/hillary-clinton-bundlers-fossil-fuel-lobbyists

Plus, the Clinton Foundation got big money directly from the corporations. Hmm... and who was on the payroll at the Clinton Foundation...

[NWCorona]

11. Thanks for the link!

[Skwmom]

39. Is Paloma Partners LLC the same as Paloma Partners III LLC?

Donor to Hillary Clinton Super Pac or other organization during the 2016 cycle:

S. Donald Sussman
$2.5 million
Founder and chairman of Paloma Partners LLC.

Ohio shale: Gulfport Energy acquires American Energy – Utica acreage for $387 million

The acreage is located near or adjacent to the acreage included in Gulfport’s previously and still pending announced acquisition of Paloma Partners III, LLC.

(Note: This was a sale. Don't know if they have other fracking interests).

[malokvale77]

10. Wow that was nasty. nt

ETA: I am so sick of her campaign lying about Sanders.

[Ash_F]

11. What was Clinton trying to say here?

Edit - Explanation in the video description

"At a Hillary Clinton rally at SUNY Purchase campus today, the presidential candidate lost her patience with a Greenpeace activist who thanked her for her commitment to climate change then asked her whether she'll reject fossil fuel money moving forward. Pointing her finger at activist Eva Resnick-Day, Clinton claimed she only takes money from people who work for fossil fuel companies and called the accusations lies."

Can this claim be verified? Also that does not seemed to like a huge difference. Just semantics.

[Avalux]

13. She is a NASTY woman.

Hillary was unhinged with the finger pointing, the snarled face and the yelling. The activist was telling the truth.

So presidential. NOT.

[senz]

51. Exactly. Not what we want in the Oval Office.

[MgtPA]

14. "I am SO sick of the Sanders campaign..."

Yeah, obviously.

[Gwhittey]

15. Odd how these types of threads get zero

Clinton Supporters. Yet if post a thread about hillary being xyz votes it gets like 500 replies.

[JackRiddler]

73. You know what's worse?

All the threads with bogus attacks on Sanders get kicked all day by Sanders supporters debating people who aren't interested in debating. The relative "discipline" is telling you what the relative composition of the two crowds here is.

[cherokeeprogressive]

16. Wow. Talk about finger-pointing... did she poke that girl in the chest?

It looked to me like she poked her with her right hand in the beginning of the video.

Talk about vicious though, my goodness.

[grasswire]

78. And remember that Huma Abedin pushed someone in the crowd a while back..

....a woman who had shaken Hillary's hand and moved as if to hug Huma. Huma shoved her and had some unkind words for her.

[cherokeeprogressive]

79. Smells like...

desperation.

[NWCorona]

81. Vicious is right

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. Everything is about her.

"I am so sick of....."

Okay... maybe see a doctor? but you haven't answered the question.

Apparently, she considers a good offense to be the best defense.

[appalachiablue]

66. And don't forget, she has the scars to prove it! Call a doctor already

[jillan]

18. #WhichHillary the one that smiles and talks sweetly to the media or the one that drips vitriol

to Americans that do not agree with her

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

19. *crickets* from Clinton Supporters in threads like these...

where she is exposed for the type of person she really is.

[beam me up scottie]

20. Did she just stick her finger right in that girl's face and yell? All she did was ask a question.

It's not like she interrupted her while she was speaking.

Holy shit, when HC supporters booed Bernie on his birthday he smiled and waved at them.

[Aerows]

57. Indeed she did

Had her finger right in that young woman's face for asking if she would keep her campaign promise and in the future reject donations from fossil fuel companies.

She was about to say no, but then switched it to "I have donors who work in the fossil fuel industry". As though there aren't major corporate donors. She tried to get all huffy like "they are just individual donors!"

I'll bet she is sick of Greenpeace, Democrats, the Sanders campaign, and everybody that is concerned about the environment + climate change questioning her commitment to her campaign promises.

Secretary Clinton, normal people who are concerned about climate change are rightly skeptical about your commitment to protecting the environment given your support for Keystone XL, fracking, and the big dollar donations you, your various SuperPACs and the Clinton Foundation has received from many different fossil fuel companies.

Irate at a Greenpeace activist for asking the question that anybody with a grain of sense would ask if they care about the environment.

[beam me up scottie]

58. How dare she ask the queen a question?

Especially about something so trivial.

[Aerows]

61. Did you see that obfuscation, too?

That was some serious horseshittery. She wanted to say no, but then switched to "it's just individuals".

I don't know who she think she is fooling with that particular pile, but anybody with an internet connection knows that she was as full of shit as a Christmas turkey with that response.

[beam me up scottie]

64. That's why she flipped out, touched a very raw nerve.

She knows she's vulnerable and reacted instinctively.

The mask slipped, hello real Hillary.

[KingFlorez]

21. If you come for a candidate then you should expect a response

That's life. I'm glad she responded.

[rhett o rick]

34. You mean when you don't have a good response, yell and point your finger agressively. She is tough

have to give you that. Which she was more compassionate about us peons.

[closeupready]

22. lol, losing it. K&R

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

23. Let's make this go viral...

Share the hell out of this everywhere you can, FB, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.

[beam me up scottie]

25. On it.

That'll teach them for accusing Bernie of having a bad temper and abusing his wife.

[azurnoir]

24. This is the same appearance where she called some hecklers "Bernie supporters" this sheds some light

on that

[Sivart]

26. Bernie has got her goat.....

She is starting to lose it. That was super trump-like.

Bernie is really getting to her.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. What was that Maya Angelou quote again?

[azmom]

28. What the fuck?

She's losing it.

[jonno99]

29. Wait - I thought getting "huffy" wasn't presidential?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=77356

Well, at least she didn't "storm out"...

[DebbieCDC]

31. She's a nasty-tempered person who will NOT be questioned

We'll see if she pulls this shtick on the FBI

[FlatBaroque]

46. That's it right there. How dare you speak ill of royalty.

Stomach turning.

[Karmadillo]

32. And this is how she behaves when she's trying to win your vote. Imagine what

we'll get if she ever occupies the White House and the Little People are no longer needed.

http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2016/03/hillary-clintons-email-hairball-summarized-11-points-a-test-of-presidential-character.html

<edit>

Clinton’s email hairball foreshadows her character as President. As ScottW comments: “Clinton did what Clinton wanted to do.” And that’s regardless of what she said, and despite advice given to her in good faith. So if Clinton wants TPP, a Grand Bargain, or war in [insert country here], that’s what she’ll go for, regardless of what she says on the trail, or the counsel of the wise.

[Broward]

45. This gets it exactly right. Most of us are screwed if she's president.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. now we are up to five videos

with different activists over the months.

[NWCorona]

41. I think Hillary has a lot on her mind

Besides can't they just leave her alone lol!

[nadinbrzezinski]

43. I got a local story to write on labor getting 15 an hour

I am sure somebody should ask (both candidates mind you) about California's plan to raise the minimum to 15 by 2022 and to then do it annually using the inflation rate

And I love my husband, I estimated the crowd at 350, the overshot crowd shot allowed me to count it, 400

[rhett o rick]

35. She gets made when cornered. Not presidential. And she is clearly getting pissed that Bernie

people (the People) are holding her to task. This slide into the coronation isn't going so well.

[grntuscarora]

36. I don't believe I care for HRC's tone.

Nor do I like her accepting wads of money from the natural gas companies that are fracking the hell out of my state.
HRC owes the activist an apology.

[Motown_Johnny]

37. Forget her tone, the real question: Who is lying about this?

It would seem that Hillary is not only lying about her contributions from the fossil fuel industry, but she is lying about who is actually making the claims about them.

Greenpeace.org says:


http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/campaign-updates/hillary-clintons-connection-oil-gas-industry/

^snip^

First there are the direct contributions from people working for fossil fuel companies to Hillary Clinton’s campaign committee. According to the most recent filings, the committee has received $309,107 (as of 3/21/16; source: Center for Responsive Politics) from such donors

Next are the fossil fuel lobbyists, many of whom have also bundled contributions. These donations also flow to Hillary Clinton’s campaign committee. Greenpeace has tracked $1,259,280 in bundled and direct donations from lobbyists currently registered as lobbying for the fossil fuel industry. This number excludes donations from lobbyists who are employed directly by a fossil fuel companies, as those donations would have been included in the previous number.

Last are contributions from fossil fuel interests to Super PACs supporting Hillary Clinton. Greenpeace has found $3,250,000 in donations from large donors connected to the fossil fuel industry to Priorities Action USA, a Super PAC supporting Secretary Clinton’s campaign.

All told, the campaign to elect Hillary Clinton for president in 2016 has received more than $4.5 million from lobbyists, bundlers, and large donors connected the fossil fuel industry.




So, unless Greenpeace is lying....

[reformist2]

38. When the Clintons tell lies, they deliberately get angry to throw people off guard. It's effective.

[Vinca]

40. Cranky, cranky, cranky.

[SheenaR]

42. When Putin doesn't listen

I wonder if this is the tantrum she will throw.

Embarrassing video

[NWCorona]

48. Yes it is.

[FlatBaroque]

44. In this video, Hillary truly #FeltTheBern. Here Hillary, have a little...

[snowy owl]

49. Does H lose her calm in the face of adversity?

That's not a good sign. Protesters and tough questions are part of politics.

[Agony]

50. She needs a hug!

Make America LOVE again!

[TheSarcastinator]

52. that finger in the face = pure self righteousness

What an excellent example of the entitlement and arrogance found throughout Team Shilllary.

[daleanime]

54. Of course not, what's more important? The environment....

or money?

[frylock]

55. She seems nice.

[polly7]

70. !!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

56. Hot-headed, untruthful, criminal. I don't have nearly enough self-loathing to vote for her.

[EndElectoral]

60. You can yell ,but you can't hide.

Hillary Clinton’s Connection to the Oil and Gas Industry

Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Super PAC supporting her have received more than $4.5 million from the fossil fuel industry.

Research compiled by Greenpeace USA

Contact: Perry Wheeler, [e-mail]

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has been backed by the fossil fuel industry in a number of ways.

First there are the direct contributions from people working for fossil fuel companies to Hillary Clinton’s campaign committee. According to the most recent filings, the committee has received $309,107 (as of 3/21/16; source: Center for Responsive Politics) from such donors

62. If she doesn't like Greenpeace, there's always Mother Jones

http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2015/07/hillary-clinton-bundlers-fossil-fuel-lobbyists

[PonyUp]

63. She's paranoid and sees Bernie everywhere she looks.

[Jester Messiah]

65. She's going critical.

If she can't stand the pressure of a primary, the Oval Office will destroy her. (And the country along with, if she makes it that far.)

[Waiting For Everyman]

67. When she was young she confronted a senator

who spoke at her college graduation. I wonder if she thinks the senator should have spoken to her that same way?

She has no redeeming qualities at all.

[NWCorona]

68. That is a great point.

[quantumjunkie]

69. K&R

[The Midway Rebel]

72. "I did not have financial relations with that company!"

[NWCorona]

80. That was funny

[timmymoff]

74. Another candidate

from the other side of the aisle reacts this way when questioned. Trumpesque.

[NWCorona]

75. I thought the same!

[CharlotteVale]

82. Spot on observation.

[frylock]

76. Remember those stories from Arkansas State Troopers and SS security details?

You know, claiming how surly and disrespectful Mrs. Clinton can be? I believe them.

[NWCorona]

77. I've read that if you screw up at the secret service

You get put on Hillary's detail.

[Doctor_J]

83. I'm starting to feel sorry for her

She's coming unglued. The bizarre thing is that if she'd entered the republican primary, she'd have coasted. There are just too many democrats who are against a lot of her positions
