Clinton fires back at critic: ‘It’s time that people stop listening to Republican propaganda’



HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. — Hillary Clinton fired back at a woman who stood during a rally here Monday to disagree with a line in Clinton's stump speech about Kentucky’s Republican Gov. Matt Bevin.

The exchange unfolded as Clinton discussed improvements that had occurred in the state on issues such as education, implementing the Affordable Care Act and lowering the unemployment rate — all of which she attributed to Bevin’s predecessor, Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear.

“Your governor did such a great job and your current governor is trying to undo it all,” Clinton said, referring to Bevin and Beshear.

But the woman, who had been sitting quietly in the audience, stood and shouted toward Clinton: “That is not true.”

“Oh yes it is, yes it is,” Clinton responded before adding hotly: “You are entitled to your opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts!”
