‘I’m sick of it’: Furious Hillary Clinton hits out at Greenpeace activist
Hillary Clinton has had enough and she isn’t afraid of some finger waving to drive home her point.
The Democratic front-runner became unhinged while on the grueling campaign trail this week.
Clinton was caught out unfiltered and off guard as she lashed out at Greenpeace activist who asked about campaign donations from fossil fuel companies.
The footage was reportedly captured at a New York rally on the campus of SUNY Purchase.
In the vision an aggravated, irate, finger-jabbing Clinton got in the face of a woman who seemingly hit a raw nerve with a question about campaign contributions.
“I do not have that kind of money from people who work for fossil fuel companies,” Clinton said in a video.
“I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me," Clinton added, aggressively pointing her finger while referring to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.
"I'm sick of it.”
The pair currently are fiercely locked in a battle for the Democratic nomination.
In response to the footage surfacing online Sanders’ campaign spokesman Michael Briggs issued a statement to US media outlets addressing the statements made by Clinton.
“The truth is that Secretary Clinton has relied heavily on funds from lobbyists working for the oil, gas and coal industry,” Briggs said.
“According to an analysis by Greenpeace, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her super-PAC have received more than $4.5 million from the fossil fuel industry. In fact, 57 oil, gas and coal industry lobbyists have directly contributed to Clinton’s campaign, with 43 of them contributing the maximum allowed for the primary. Eleven of those 53 lobbyists are working as bundlers and have raised over $1.1 million in bundled contributions between them.”
“If Secretary Clinton wants to discuss this and other important issues she should stop stalling and agree to a debate in New York before the April 19 primary election,” Briggs said.
The environment and climate change have been some of the biggest battlegrounds for Clinton and her challenger to date.
