9. Mimicking her eh?

Mon May 4, 2015, 09:19 AM

May 2015

Funny, the earliest link I can find for Clinton wanting to over turn Citizens United was this year just prior to announcing.

Sanders proposed the first constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United on December 8, 2011. Even Obama praised it and endorsed it when it was again proposed in 2012. Do you have a link from either 2011 or 2012 of Clinton also supporting said amendment?

Do you have a link from 2010 to 2012 at all prior to Sanders putting forth the amendment where she clearly goes on record that she wants a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United?

If not, and I have not found any in an exhaustive search this morning, then no, he is not mimicking her. She is mimicking him.
