  • Bernie Sanders Mocks Hillary’s Immigrant Grandparents Lie

    04.16.2015 | News | |

    As we reported earlier today, Hillary was caught lying about her family and how her grandparents immigrated to America.

    Hillary said “All my grandparents, you know, came over here and you know my grandfather went to work in lace mill in Scranton, Pennsylvania and worked there until he retired at 65.”

    The truth is Clinton’s maternal grandmother, Della Howell (née Murray), was born in Illinois in 1902. She married Edwin Howell, also born in Illinois. Her paternal grandmother, Hanna Jones Rodham, was born in Pennsylvania in 1882. Only her paternal grandfather, Hugh Rodham Sr. was born in England and he immigrated with his parents as a child, according to records.

    And now, Socialist Vermont Senator and potential Democratic presidential nominee Bernie Sanders is taking shots at Hillary.

    While on CNN Thursday, Sanders said to Wolf Blitzer “Don’t ask me about my immigrant parents or grandparents.”

    Sanders said he’s going to announce his presidential bid in “two weeks as long as you don’t check my immigrants.”
