Hillary the Hawk does it again: Asked about her Wall Street ties, Clinton again invoked 9/11
By BEN NORTON
Hillary Clinton is by far the most hawkish of the Democratic presidential candidates. She supported the internationally illegal Iraq War; helped lead the NATO bombing of Libya, famously remarking “We came, we saw, he died” when Muammar Qadhafi was killed; oversaw the U.S. drone war, in which targets are assassinated without charge or trial; previously defended torture; and said in her 2007 campaign for president she would consider dropping nuclear bombs on militants in South Asia.
…
Although Clinton’s campaign and advocates may have tried to reduce the hawkish Freudian slip to a slip of the tongue, however, Hillary has yet again fallen back on the 9/11 attacks when asked about her ties to Wall Street.
In an interview with CBS released today, her first TV interview since the November 13 Paris attacks, Clinton defends both her hawkish positions and her closeness to Wall Street.
Host Charlie Rose asks, “Have you suffered from the fact that they say you are too close to Wall Street? Has that hurt your image, in your judgement, running for president?”
“I have stood for a lot of regulation on big banks and on the financial services sector. I also represented New York and represented everybody from the dairy farmers to the fishermen,” Clinton replied, adding, “And did I help rebuild after 9/11? Yes, I did.”

Cut it out!
Big mistake...
Even if it's all been phony baloney...
Big mistake.
She took the millions of dollars in Wall Street speaking fees as a rebuke to the terrorists. Because... reasons!
