Sen. Barbara Boxer stands up for Hillary Clinton on "baseless" oil & gas industry claims

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/hillary-clinton-fossil-fuel-donations-221472

“Both Hillary and Bernie accepted donations from fossil fuel workers, and both care deeply about the environment,” she followed. “As the lead Democrat on the enviro committee, I have seen @HillaryClinton's passionate & effective leadership on the environment first-hand.”

“The last thing we need is for the Democratic race, which we have been so proud of, to devolve into GOP-style mudslinging,” Boxer added.

Damn right, Senator.

She will be missed in the Senate. And she is absolutely right about the donations from fossil fuel workers. Sanders has been negative from the get go - and not by telling the truth. I'm disgusted by him. There is nothing honorable about implying negatives and being too cowardly to admit it.
