Iirc, she was touring public housing with a NY housing group. I'm assuming it was a photo op thing and the plants in the sink threw her off. People forget the Clinton's are dems from Arkansas. They're neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.

I like to shit on her, but she was a damn capable politician. I don't know anymore after 30 years of republican propaganda making sure everyone hated her. No one is immune to propaganda, but bitches get stuff done.

    People forget the Clinton’s are dems from Arkansas. They’re neoliberals, but from a state so poor they actually want public programs.

    And Hillary's father was a business owner in Chicago... And that's where she grew up. She moved to Arkansas after Yale.

    She just acts like a Southerner as a PR move. As illustrated by people still thinking she was a poor girl from Arkansas when she lived a life of privilege before going to one of the best schools on the continent.

    Now, Bills family wasn't well off.

    But Hillary didn't marry him for money, she saw a smart charismatic man who would do well in politics and hitched her wagon to him.

    She was already pretty well off.
