I Swear, We Were ‘Dead Broke,’ Hillary Says
Facing continued backlash for her insistence that she and her husband were “dead broke” upon leaving the White House, Hillary Clinton stands by the substance of her comments. “It was accurate,” she said, “but we are so successful and we’re so blessed by the success we’ve had and my husband has worked incredibly hard.” Blessed, cashing in on celebrity, whatever. She did say, “I regret [the comment]. It was inartful.” It was a deliberate attempt to try to excuse her wealth and establish an “I feel your pain” connection with voters. That’s craven, not “inartful.”
