Hillary Clinton may be the next US president and the first president in a skirt. She has long been involved in politics and voters know who she is and what her views. But they know about a series of scandals associated with it. Here are some of the scandalous facts in this post will be discussed.
10. The first and the only first lady to appear before the court
In 1996, Hillary Clinton became the first and so far only in the history of the first lady, was summoned to court. It was a matter of "Whitewater" - the Clintons suspected illegal transaction on sale of property, tax evasion and perjury. During the investigation, 12 people were found guilty, but one of them was not Bill and Hillary.
9. Hillary Clinton had a Republican inveterate
In her youth, Hillary Clinton adhered to republican views. In 1964, she campaigned for Republican candidate Barry Goldwater conservative outstanding. During her studies in the College of Clinton was president of the Association of Young Republicans. It was only during the war in Vietnam, her eyes began to gradually become more radical.
8. Mediaholding Time Warner - one of the largest sponsors of Hillary Clinton
How stands CNN - Cable News Network or the Clinton News Network? CNN provides ongoing support to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, highlighting her activities exclusively in a positive way. The reason is that the company is the owner of the CNN Time Warner Inc., the world's third largest media holding, which is the entire political career, Clinton has already invested millions of dollars into it, and waiting for the moment when the investment once again will be repaid with interest.
7. Before Clinton opposed gay marriage
They say that a good politician - one that knows how to keep his nose to the wind. If this statement is true, Hillary - fantastically good politician. So, when public opinion in the United States was opposed to gay marriage, Hillary Clinton also opposed. In 2000, as a senator from New York, Clinton publicly said they would vote for a ban on same-sex marriage in support signed by her husband in 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. And until 2005, she often made such statements, and then gradually began to change their view
6. Hillary Clinton received a donation from the Donald Trump was at his wedding
Now Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump put eternal antagonists, but this is only because they are competing in the elections. He has called it "the worst Secretary of State in US history," and she had pinned up, comparing with inadequate shouter and the upstart. And then, and another is true, in my opinion ... but that's up to the elections, these guys were close friends. Clinton once received from Trump's financial support, they also were guests at his wedding in 2005, and judging by the pictures, there is good feel.
5. Clinton voted for the war in Iraq
After the September 11 attacks Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq. In 2008, Barack Obama, then a Democratic candidate, has accused Hillary that she sounded "just like George Bush - younger", with its proposals for military intervention in the Middle East. However, this did not prevent him to appoint a Secretary of State Clinton, and she continued to support the military intervention in the affairs of Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
4. Once Clinton had fun at the news of the death of the leader of another country
Soon after the news of the death of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader from 1969 to 2011, Hillary Clinton appeared on a video news report, where exchanged jokes with a reporter about the murder of Gaddafi. In the video, she first said cheerfully that "we came, we saw, he died" and then laughs. Muammar Gaddafi was certainly a dictator and has committed many crimes against his own people, but there is something very unpleasant is that the US Secretary of laughs in such a serious situation. Especially when you consider the fact that now Libya is in a much worse state than under Gaddafi.
3. The Secretary of State Clinton has refused to make the "Boko Haram" in the list of terrorist organizations
"Boko Haram" - a radical Islamist group based in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, with connections both with "Al-Qaeda", and with LIH and committed many violent attacks. In 2015, America made "Boko Haram" in the list of terrorist organizations, and it is clear why. It is unclear why three years earlier, in 2012, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has refused to consider this organization a terrorist. By calling it the FBI and the CIA and the US Justice Department, and a number of members of Congress. Only change it, John Kerry made "Boko Haram" in the official list.
2. Basic Clinton gets cash infusion from Wall Street
So far, the presidential race, Hillary Clinton voters brought the promise of "squeeze" the big banks. However, it is strange to hear from the person receiving the last significant financial support of the largest banking institutions. So the question is only one thing: that sounds louder - the words of Clinton or her past deeds?
1. Clinton called members of youth gangs "superhischnikami", advocating for the Law on the fight against crime
As first lady, Hillary Clinton campaigned for the law of her husband - "The law on combating violent crime" in 1994, as a result of which an unprecedented number of African Americans were imprisoned - often for minor infractions such as smoking marijuana. However, it's not about the law and about the terminology that Hillary Clinton used in his speeches during his promotion. For example, in January 1996, she called members of youth gangs and drag-dealers "superhischnikami" people without shame or conscience, which should show who's hozyain.Chtoby, so to speak, knew their place. The problem is that the expressions used by it, before it is applied to the slaves, ie, the same African Americans. Then Clinton acknowledged on several occasions that made a mistake, regrets, and the next time will be to think about what she says.
