A few more words for Hillary

To the editor:

It’s a pity that Mr. Carson ran out of space in a recent communication to the Bulletin to adequately describe Hillary Clinton. So, as an observer of her from her  time as First Lady in the White House, I will continue the observations as most people will remember.

The best words to describe Hillary with are Liar, Liar, Liar. It started with her public lie that the accusations against Bill were a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. This lie fell apart with the discovery of the blue dress.

She also stated that she had no knowledge of the Rose Law firm billing records, until they turned up in a room of the White House.

In an interview, Clinton stated that she “came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt.” Something even the  left-leaning Politifact found to be false.

During the 2008 campaign, Clinton claimed that she came under sniper fire in Bosnia during the ’90s. She even went so far as to claim her group ran “with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.” Video of her actual arrival surfaced showing this to be another lie as it was a very calm scene instead, and the Democrat would quickly say she simply misspoke. Which is Hillary code for “caught in another lie.”

Recently, Clinton claimed to have been turned down by the Marines when she applied in 1975; however, the Washington  Post fact-checkers quickly realized the absurdity that a rising legal star at the time, and soon to be wife of Bill Clinton, would drop everything and ship off with the Marines. They gave her a couple of Pinocchios for her tall tale.

Where do we start with the lies about emails? She has told so many lies it is hard to keep track of them all. Suffice to say there have been many. To summarize, former Secretary of State Clinton claimed her infamous private email server was set up in “accordance with the rules and the regulations in effect.” A federal judge disagreed, saying Clinton “violated government policy” when she used a private server to store official State Department messages. Then the FBI director reported many lies she had told concerning the emails.

Clearly the worst lie of them all was when Clinton lied about a terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi. She said while standing over the flag-draped coffins of murdered Americans, that an insensitive YouTube video had been responsible for  the attack that occurred that night. Why? Because a terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11 – which it was – would have destroyed President Obama’s re-election chances. But at the end of the day it’s worth it to Clinton to tell a politically expedient lie, so long as she and her party can stay in power. Then this, as Mr. Carson stated, the “most patient, caring, considerate, kind, smart, understanding and compassionate boss,” had the audacity to call the mother of one of the dead men in the coffins a liar.

So how could anyone trust any thing she promises? From where I sit she fits the description that Mr. Carson tries to label Mr. Trump with in his first paragraph. Mr. Carson also offers no examples of all the nasty thing he accuses Trump with so apparently he must have heard it from Hillary. Therefore put me in the “basket of deplorables,” and I will gladly vote for Trump.
