Tuesday

No matter how many times it was explained that so-and-so is still an elected official and it's illegal to be paid for speeches and Hillary was not (and that as former First Lady, senator, Secretary of State of course the speaking fee was as high as other politicians with such a resume; she also gave speeches to the Girl Scouts of America and companies and all sorts of organizations -- wasn't as if she was hustling money from students/those on limited incomes by frightening them about an imaginary evil corporate neoliberal status quo establishment boogeyman -- and Hillary donated quite a bit to the Clinton Foundation), there they were right back making the same accusation the next week.

Buzzwords. It's cheap advertising. Buyer beware.
