Hillary Clinton latest candidate to embellish family ancestry

[Indy Texas]

Jeb Bush wants us to think he's Hispanic. Marco Rubio famously cast his parents as fleeing the left-wing Castro regime when in fact they fled the right-wing Batista regime that preceded it.

Now, Hillary Clinton wants us to believe her family is less American than it actually is.

Why am I not surprised? Figure's though, I suppose if she lies about everything else, why not her ancestry, it's a sad pattern!

Can we create a different board for all these fake Clinton scandals? I'm tired of this pathetic sh[Inks] and the pathetic people who post it cluttering an otherwise decent board.

[JRP1994]

So this is 2 falsehoods in 2 presidential campaigns relating to her family alone. Remember the "My mom named me after Sir Edmund Hillary even tho I was born 6 years before he became famous" thing?

It's going to be difficult for the Republican Party to lie that they are 'for the common folk' when they vote nearly unanimously to eliminate the inheritance tax for billionaires.

Was there a Bosnian sniper in her family tree?

A megathread would work nicely. I suggested in the domestic abuse thread.

I pointed out that other candidates have played fast and loose with the truth similarly. I just think it's ironic that as a country we love the "It doesn't matter where your grandparents came from" schtick and yet politicians seem to be constantly afraid of voters judging them for their backgrounds.

[Mister Mets]

It seems pretty unlikely that she wouldn't know, given the years she's spent as a public figure.

Wow.. Hillary had to have known this would come up, so why did she even bother to run? Add the effect of the "she didn't tip at Chipotle" scandal and her campaign is totally sunk.

actually, now that I think about it, she probably intentionally lied about her grandparents to distract the media from that incredibly damaging Chipotle scandal... it's an interesting gambit

They might no be "scandals" ebay, but trust me, the baggage gets heavier & what better way to handicap her, by reminding folks of those old Clinton "ways" another way to remind everyone that she's not to be trusted. Will see how inevitable she is by July 2016, damaged goods and all the more easier to bring to ground😉

[CLARENCE 2015!]

This was CLEARLY a mistake on her part....... she was using "grandparent" to refer to ancestor-rperhaps Great grandparent or the like,
Nice try
