Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie's campaign press release responds to Hillary's latest lie [View all]
https://berniesanders.com/press-release/clintons-support-oil-gas-industry-lobbyists/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=tw160331<NEW YORK Bernie Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs issued the following statement on Thursday after Hillary Clinton said she was sick of the Sanders campaign lying about contributions she received from the fossil fuel industry:
The truth is that Secretary Clinton has relied heavily on funds from lobbyists working for the oil, gas and coal industry. According to an analysis by Greenpeace, Hillary Clintons campaign and her super PAC have received more than $4.5 million from the fossil fuel industry. In fact, 57 oil, gas and coal industry lobbyists have directly contributed to Clintons campaign, with 43 of them contributing the maximum allowed for the primary. Eleven of those 53 lobbyists are working as bundlers and have raised over $1.1 million in bundled contributions between them.
Its no wonder that back in December Clinton refused to agree to stop accepting money from the fossil fuel industry when pressed at a town hall, saying, Im not going to do a litmus test on them.
If Secretary Clinton wants to discuss this and other important issues she should stop stalling and agree to a debate in New York before the April 19 primary election.>
There are links to analyses by both Greenpeace and the Huffington Post on Clintons support from the oil, gas and coal industry, as well as details on her lobbyist bundlers, at the linked response from the Sanders campaign.
