Are we democrats defending Hillary Clintion over Elizabeth Warren?!

[Jarqui]

83. Hillary served as president of the Wellesley Young Republicans

and was involved with the Republican party for some years afterwards

Her father had been very supportive of the Republicans.

In 1968, when she was nearly 21, Hillary worked as a intern for Nixon’s future Secretary of Defense, Melvin Laird - who supported Nixon’s policies of invading Cambodia and escalating the war in Vietnam. And she had some acquaintance with future Republican president Gerald Ford. Hillary became eligible to vote on her Oct, 1968, 21st birthday.


1968 (approximate) picture of Clinton interning with Republicans - she has the white hair band.

She did attend some Democrat events around that time but some (Carl Bernstein? - can't recall where I read it) feel it was as an "operative" for Nixon, as was apparently a common thing for young Republicans to do back then.

By '72, she'd made the transition to the Democrats and worked with Bill Clinton to help Eugene McCarthy's bid (in Texas).

It was a long time ago. I'm just responding with this to those taking a swipe at Elizabeth Warren for her Republican registration of years ago. Both women are clearly Democrats with Hillary's positions closer to Republicans.
