Wow......just.....wow.
Hillary Clinton just met with union leaders and told them "I did not work on the Trans-Pacific Partnership."
She has changed her position on this issue after many on the far left have come out against it. Yet, Clinton is on the record a staggering 45 times promoting TPP and attempting to take credit for it.
The key quote:
"I did not work on TPP," she said after a meeting with leaders of labor unions who oppose the pact. "I advocated for a multinational trade agreement that would 'be the gold standard.' But that was the responsibility of the United States Trade Representative."
But at a congressional hearing in 2011, Clinton told lawmakers that "with respect to the TPP, although the State Department does not have the lead on this -- it is the United States Trade Representative -- we work closely with the USTR." Additionally, State Department cables reviewed by International Business Times show that her agency -- including her top aides -- were deeply involved in the diplomatic deliberations over the trade deal. The cables from 2009 and 2010, which were among a trove of documents disclosed by the website WikiLeaks, also show that the Clinton-run State Department advised the U.S. Trade Representative’s office on how to negotiate the deal with foreign government officials."
Color me shocked but the Hildabeast is lying through her teeth again. But I guess lying is all she really knows. Sad.
