Bloomberg Politics’ John Heilemann, host of “With All Due Respect,” took issue with the donations accepted by the Clinton Foundation from Middle East nations that have brutally suppressed women’s rights. Heilemann determined Hillary Clinton is a “phony” on women’s rights issues. The Daily Caller,
“I think the women who like Hillary Clinton will like Hillary Clinton no matter what,” Heilemann began. “But you look at this list. If you asked Hillary Clinton what she achieved as secretary of state, she can’t come up with a lot. She didn’t bring Middle East peace, she didn’t do something big.”
“What she generally says is that she was a champion for women and girls. You look at these donations. You look at the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria, Brunei. These are brutally oppressive regimes to women,” Heilemann told guest host Campbell Brown. “It makes her seem like a phony, even if it doesn’t cost her a single vote, it takes away the bragging rights, it seems to me, of being able to say, unambiguously, that she’s a big champion for feminist causes around the world.”
