A frustrated Hillary Clinton forcefully said she was “so sick” of Bernie Sanders’ campaign alleging she accepts donations from the fossil fuel industry.

Following a campaign event in New York, the former secretary of state was approached by an environmental activist who pressed her about rejecting such contributions.

“I do not have — I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies. I am so sick — I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me,” an agitated Clinton said while angrily pointing her figure at the activist. “I’m sick of it.”

Thursday’s outburst wasn’t the first time Clinton has been accused of accepting money from the fossil fuel industry. After a campaign event late last year in Iowa, Steve Patterson, a leader of a local climate change group in Iowa, asked Clinton if she would join Sanders and Martin O’Malley and commit to rejecting money from the fossil fuel industry.

1. Poor delicate flower!

[billhicks76]

124. Another Clinton Wags Their Finger...Sigh

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. She looks like she's ready to crack.

Just wait for the general, Mrs. Rodham-CLinton. You really have no clue how bad it will get.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

6. The General? Who is that?

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Seriously?

General Mills?

General Motors?

General Electric?

Hint: It ain't one of them.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

21. I have no clue, Attorney General? Surely not Trump, surely this person isnt implying

that in a debate she will lose to Trump?

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. General election

The one in November.

If she thinks the sledding it tough now, she ain't seen nothin' yet. The (R)s are salivating at the prospect of her being the nominee.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

25. So it is an implication that TRUMP will out perform her. Disgusting thing to read here.

Promoting and supporting the GOP right here in river city.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Who said it will be Trump?

Any candidate on the other side will be out for the jugular.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

30. Worse, then you are all saying the GOP is better, stronger than Hillary.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. Aw, for Chrissakes.......

Listen up now.

If Hillary thinks Sanders and his supporters are being tough on her now, just wait until the republicans unleash their jackals. This isn't going to get easier for her.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

55. You never give up, do you. ATTACK Hillary is all some do it seems.

Hillary Clinton has withstood a nonstop attack from an organized rightwing group for decades.

She is tougher than most ten people here combined.

Sheesh, I thought you knew that.

[TheCowsCameHome]

65. She hasn't seen anything...

....compared to what the 2016 GOP has in store, if she wins the nomination.

This stuff right now is at little-league level, by comparison.

[alcina]

79. Seriously, don't even try to engage in a logical conversation.

Lately, it's looking more and more like Microsoft has loosed Tay on DU....

[stupidicus]

80. indeed, this fellow is hillarious

after all the BS about how BS can't be supported because he's gonna crumble under the assault of rightwingers, they now deny it's possible for Hillary of Arc despite the near breakdown noted here.

[MisterFred]

47. Uh, seriously?

Of course not.

We're all saying that if she thinks Sanders is lying & it's getting under her skin, she apparently has amnesia and can't remember how much Republicans lie.

[passiveporcupine]

37. That sure ISN"T the way I read it.

To me, it says that the general election will get very nasty. Not indicating who will win or not. And we all know the Republicans WILL GET NASTY, no matter whom they are campaigning against. If she can't take the heat from Sanders, how will she handle the heat from the Republicans?

[TheCowsCameHome]

48. Thank you, but I don't think

it will sink in.

[2pooped2pop]

57. you sure do seem to read what you want into that

[Jackie Wilson Said]

61. Well, in my defense, I do read hundreds of times a day here at DU from dozens and dozens

of people about how horrible Hillary is, so there is some precedent.

[2pooped2pop]

67. maybe you should just start believing the truth.

instead of making your own

[Jackie Wilson Said]

72. The truth? What is that, are we better off with President Trump?

[2pooped2pop]

78. No, President Sanders

for the people, not just the rich.

[wildbilln864]

122. exactly! thank you. n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

81. I'd say you just infer whatever the fuck you want to wail about into whatever people say.

It's your trip, it's the material you do.

[FailureToCommunicate]

103. Reading hundreds of negative comments a day here can not be good for

your health. If I were your doctor I'd say cut back, or take a break, get some rest...

Or, as Jackie sez:

[xocet]

71. You just won the gold medal for the Olympic conclusion triple jump; conclude, assert & complain FTW!

n/t

[Jackie Wilson Said]

75. I am blushing, but trust me it wasnt nearly that hard.

[xocet]

83. No doubt. You won the event almost unconsciously. n/t

[JDPriestly]

131. You are assuming that the Republican candidate will be Trump. That is not something that

should be assumed.

He has to have 50.1% of the delegates to win the nomination. How likely is that? I don't think it is very likely.

[840high]

130. Comey.

[MisterP]

3. "millions in contributions have no EFFECT on me! I'm the VICTIM! I'm the STRONG

candidate! I don't HAFTA debate that meanie!"

[Zira]

50. +1000

[Kittycat]

97. This isn't going to tweet (end) well for her.

I guess that depends what is-is, when it comes to defining a donation in the voters eyes.

https://theintercept.com/2016/03/09/hillary-clinton-wants-to-regulate-fracking-but-still-accepts-a-lot-of-fracking-money/

On Wednesday, the Clinton campaign was to hold a $575-a-head fundraising lunch at a Ritz-Carlton Hotel on the Northern California coast hosted by Alisa Wood, a partner at the international private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR).

In 2009, KKR began heavily investing in fracking, purchasing large shares of three North American oil and gas companies, and selling two of them for billions in profits. The third was hit hard by plummeting gas prices, and declared bankruptcy last year. But KKR was not deterred, and still owns a large portfolio of small fossil fuel companies, at least two of which — Cinco Industries and Comstock Resources — use fracking.

-snip-

Many of Clinton’s largest fundraisers are lobbyists for oil and gas corporations. Some of her largest contribution bundlers are lobbyists representing Chevron, Cheniere Energy, and TransCanada — all companies that use fracking.

Prior to announcing her candidacy, Clinton also received $990,000 for speeches she made to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce — a heavy investor in TransCanada and the Keystone XL pipeline.

104. That's what I don't understand ...... there are SO MANY examples of her benefiting monetarily

from fossil fuel companies, does she think people are stupid?

[Ghost Dog]

115. Apparantly so, yes.

She appears to believe reality should conform to whatever she says it should be.

Of course, in that direction lies madness.

[GoneFishin]

128. She does appear to believe that she is more clever than she actually is. nt

4. This is correct and constructive criticism and confrontation.

Make it so she simply cant AFFORD their money.

5. That goes both ways. David Brock wouldn't know the truth

if it bit him on the butt.

[peacebird]

7. We're pretty sick of Hills and Her Campaign lying about Bernie too.

Funny thing about the "lies" tho, what Bernie says are not lies, what Hillarys campaign an surrogates say ARE lies.
Bernie tells the truth about her record and gets attacked by Hills as an abusive husband.

[Zira]

39. Post removed. I watched the video. I don't like her but the media did take this one out of context

to make it look like an outburst.

BTW, she also lied while she walked away from that person brining up the fossil fuels. But she didn't have an "outburst"
she simply lied about fossil fuels then lied about the Sanders campaign lying about her.

29. The Christmas invasion!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

64. Perfect n/t

[Zira]

111. Give her a break. She has to stay up every night answering to corrupt corporations

assuring them she will win and they can make billions and not be held accountable for past fraud.

Plus, she has to be on chronic defense because she's lying so badly.

And, she has to constantly act like a liberal when she is the opposite. Imagine having to run against her own record - which is what she is doing.

And she may get indicted while campaigning.

Add all that up with having to fight someone who actually has the past record, and who will try to reign in Wall Street and do the will of the people and who is telling the truth, and there you go. Too much to handle.

And, she's losing.

I think the corruption is what's doing her in. The stress is getting to her because it's falling apart.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Uh-oh

[redstateblues]

10. Good for her. DU leads the online smear campaign.

[beerandjesus]

14. I figured out the difference between Hillary and Republicans

Republicans claim lies are the truth.
Hillary claims the truth is a lie.


And then her supporters claim the truth is a "smear campaign"

[qucumbbruce]

95. Great synopsis.

Enjoyed it!

[yurbud]

53. yeah, all those lies about huge speaking fees from Goldman Sachs...

She did those pro bono.

11. Did you contribute to Hillary's campaign? Who do you work for?

I work for county government and contribute to Hillary's campaign. Using Bernie's logic Hillary takes money from county government.

[Trust Buster]

15. While Sanders only became a Democrat to take advantage of an infrastructure financed by

the same sources. What hypocrisy.

[jalan48]

16. Wah. Waaaah. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

17. Looks like she's pivoting back toward the primaries again

Was it just a week ago that she was trying not to mention her primary opponent?

[Liberty Belle]

18. Here are her detailed donations from Open Secrets (for her career)

https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?cycle=Career&cid=N00000019&type=I

It includes $2.3 million from those in the energy and natural resource industries but it is unclear how much of that may be fossil fuels vs. clean energy.

She has taken far more money from other interests, including $34 million from law firms and lawyers, nearly $15 million from securities and investments (ie Wall St), $3 million from commercial banks and about $3 million from lobbyists. There are also some more positive donor categories such as $10 million from groups on women's issues.

[cannabis_flower]

46. She has recently stopped

taking money from lobbying firms for private prisons after it became an issue.

[questionseverything]

119. she just stopped taking direct contributions

she still takes private for profit prison money with her superpac

[TexasBushwhacker]

70. But securities, insurance, lobbyists and law firms

can be involved in fossil fuels as well. For example, speculation has a huge effect on the price of oil. Does Wall Street want more regulations or a tax on such speculation? I don't think so.

If I'm an attorney who represents the fossil fuel industry, I'm going to donate to the candidate who is least likely to strengthen regulations, not the one that opposes fracking and the Keystone Pipeline.

Everything is interconnected.

[Kip Humphrey]

19. “I do not have — I have..."

is quintessentially Hillary Clinton: her first instinct is to lie (is she 1st cousins with The Drumpf?), then think better of it because, hey, its in the public record.

And, I'm a woman. She blatantly lied twice when confronted with the truth about fossil fuels, then said she couldn't "take it" which was only going to be used against her. I believe it would also be used against a man if either Cruz or Trump said it.

[SheenaR]

38. It's not a lie

If there is a direct paper trail.

It's a smart campaign tactic and makes for a good headline, but it's another falsehood. She could easily explain why those donations came and who those people are in relation to her governing. Instead, it's the Sanders campaign's fault.

[dorkzilla]

98. She thinks she's charming and we're stupid

She's going to have a day of reckoning when she realizes that the only reason people don't trust and/or like her is...her.

42. Bernie Sanders is not lying Hillary you hve accepted funds from both

the Industry and individuals and lobbyists that have worked for the Oil and Gas Industry.

I suppose you haven't accepted funding from Goldman Sachs Right?

We know Bill Clinton and others in the campaign read DU so here goes Bill...

When Hillary and Bill Clinton deny accepting donations from a particular source,given their history when they deny it, well is probably a fact they do accept these contributions from the Fossil Fuel Industry and Big Oil.

Its you Hillary Clinton that is lying..Wow Hillary looks pissed and thats funny....

[riversedge]

73. You claim she does but Fact check says she does not accept from the industry nor from the PAC's

Yes, employees from the companies are allowed. Where do you get your information from.?


From the up dated link in the OP:

......Clinton said she was unsure she had ever accepted money from the industry, noting that she isn’t “exactly one of their favorites.” But Patterson insisted she had.

“Have I? OK, well, I’ll check on that,” she responded. “They certainly haven’t made much of an impression on me if I don’t even know it.”

According to a fact check, it is true that Clinton's campaign hasn’t accepted donations directly from the industry — doing so would violate campaign law — and she hadn’t received contributions from PACs affiliated with the industry, either. But she has received more than $330,000 from oil and gas industry employees.

Hillary Clinton’s Biggest Campaign Bundlers Are Fossil Fuel Lobbyists
Clinton’s top campaign financiers are linked to Big Oil, natural gas and the Keystone pipeline.
07/17/2015 09:22 am ET | Updated Jul 17, 2015
Paul Blumenthal, Kate Sheppard

WASHINGTON — 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.

A list of 40 registered lobbyists that the Clinton camp disclosed to the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday revealed a number of Democratic Party lobbyists who have worked against regulations to curb climate change, advocated for offshore drilling, or sought government approval for natural gas exports.

Clinton, the former secretary of state, has called climate change the most “consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges we face as a nation and a world” and says it would be a major focus of her administration if she wins the White House. But having so many supporters who have sold their services to fossil fuel companies may complicate her emphasis on pro-environment policies.

Scott Parven and Brian Pomper, lobbyists at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, have been registered to lobby for the Southern California-based oil giant Chevron since 2006, with contracts totaling more than $3 million. The two bundled Clinton contributions of $24,700 and $29,700, respectively. They have helped Chevron over the years resist efforts to eliminate oil and gas tax breaks and to impose regulations to reduce carbon emissions.

BROOKINGS
Jonathan Rothwell | March 25, 2016 9:50am

Make elites compete: Why the 1% earn so much and what to do about it

“…Myth 1: Capital vs. labor share

In his recent and otherwise valuable book, Saving Capitalism: For the Many, not the Few, Robert Reich claims that the share of income going to workers has fallen from 50 percent in 1960 to 42 percent in 2012. Meanwhile, corporate profits have risen. In short: trillions of dollars have gone to capitalists instead of workers. The sensible policy responses, as Reich and others have stressed, are to increase taxes on corporate income and capital gains, and widen capital ownership.

These might be a good idea for other reasons, but the basic facts currently being used to justify them are wrong. Between 1980 and 2014, corporate profits actually represented a lower share of GDP (4.9 percent) than between 1950 and 1979 (5.4 percent)….”

~~
“…Myth 2: Super skills lead to super riches

It is certainly true that rising relative returns to education have driven up inequality. But as I have written earlier, this is true among the bottom 99 percent. There is no evidence to support the idea that the top 1 percent consists mostly of people of “exceptional talent.” In fact, there is quite a bit of evidence to the contrary….”

~~
“…Myth 3: Technology

Some entrepreneurs grow enormously rich as a result of founding a company with an innovative product. This applies to Mark Zuckerberg, as well as to Bill Gates and other mega-stars of the tech sector. Venture capitalist Paul Graham has recently written about this as an important aspect of inequality, and he’s correct. It is. But again, it has little to do with the rise of the 1 percent….”

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

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.

112. I worked for the KOCH Brothers and gave Hillary a money contribution!

I worked for them until they closed the plant which almost killed the town. But I donated to Hillary and will continue to do so. It will also be a pleasure to see her taking the oath of office the President of the United States.

Grrrrrrrr........
