Hillary Rodham Clinton defended her campaign contributions from Wall Street by invoking her work to help the financial sector rebuild after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, raising eyebrows among her Democratic challengers and Republicans alike.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told reporters the Clinton's "integrity was impugned and what she was saying was that she was proud to represent the state of New York, to help rebuild lower Manhattan."
"When people attack her and call her quote-unquote the 'Senator from Wall Street,' they ought to remember that she was instrumental in trying to rebuild an important part of the New York economy," he said.
My Way News - Clinton's invoking of 9/11 to defend donations draws ire
So let me understand... As the Senator to Wall Street she took Wall Street donations to get lower Manhattan rebuilt? Wouldn't the money donated to Hillary be better spent rebuilding lower Manhattan rather then going into her campaign coffers?
Just doesn't make any sense. Is she saying to get any money to rebuild lower Manhattan it took greasing her palms with donations??
