Clinton Campaign Lies to Cover Her Inexperience

Senator Joe Biden had a few words about a recent gaffe by Hillary Clinton with regard to Pakistan. Clinton made comments about Pakistan having a presidential election and Biden pointed out that Musharraf was already elected and the upcoming event is a parliamentary election. Biden probably has the most experience of all the Democrats running (even though he does not have that valuable experience of being a First lady) and he is strong on foreign affairs. I don’t care for Biden’s politics but if the argument is for experience then he has it, hands down, over any of the other Democrats and many of the Republicans.

Clinton’s campaign responded by stating that the candidate was speaking about Musharraf’s party and not him in particular. Her exact words were (two different occasions):

Clinton’s comments came in an interview with ABC Sunday, in which she said, “[Musharraf] could be the only person on the ballot. I don’t think that’s a real election.”

The New York senator also made similar comments during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last week, saying then, “If President Musharraf wishes to stand for election, then he should abide by the same rules that every other candidate will have to follow.” [emphasis mine] CNN

These statements make it pretty clear that Hillary was speaking about the presidential election and about Musharraf. She was not speaking about his party or using general terms. The fact that her campaign would make such blatantly false statements shows that it is either ignorant of the facts or is willing to ignore the truth in order to win.

Biden was correct on this one. Hillary Clinton, the “most experienced” candidate was very incorrect and showed her ignorance with regard to Pakistan. Her foreign experience is no where near as honed as Biden’s and she is not as accomplished as she would like people to believe.

The reality of the situation is that we once again see the Clinton crime gang saying anything and disregarding the truth. She is already viewed as someone that cannot be trusted and this will not make that impression any better.

Perhaps when they were sending her on all the dangerous missions that no one else went on she skipped Pakistan…

Hillary is Satan.
