Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)INGRATE: Secretary Hillary Clinton brokered the release of Dr. Paul Song's SIL, Laura Ling, and [View all]
[center]*** HILLARY CLINTON GROUP ***[/center]
former president Bill Clinton was sent to North Korea to make it happen. Yet Dr. Song, a Sanders surrogate, thought it was a good idea to imply that Hillary Clinton was a "corporate Democratic wh***", and Sanders thanked him for his speech!
This is what Lisa Ling's husband, Dr. Paul Song, said so read for yourself:
"Now Secretary Clinton has said that Medicare for all will never happen. (boos) Well, I agree with Secretary Clinton that Medicare for all will never happen if we have a president who never aspires for something greater than the status quo. (cheers) Medicare for all will never happen if we continue to elect corporate Democratic wh*** (cheers) who are beholden to Big Pharma and the private insurance industry instead of us."
How can he now claim that he meant Democratic congressmen/women?? His statement is pretty clear, and combine that with being a Sanders surrogate who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination and not congress, how again can he claim he didn't direct his toxic statements at Hillary Clinton, Sanders' only rival? And he implicates President Obama as well since ObamaCare works within the private insurance infrastructure.

Dr. Paul Song should apologize without the "if I offended anybody" qualifier, and do so as publicly as he's made that godawful statement, and Sanders should be ashamed for running an increasingly TOXIC campaign.
If the media are going to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her surrogate's, Madelaine Albright, remark, then they should hold Sanders to the same standard.
