Clinton’s corruption caused her defeat

I am amused at all the excuses being given for the defeat of presidential contender Hillary Clinton. I have heard nothing from the Democrats that she was not elected because of her dishonesty and corruption. She has lied to the American people for years.

She was responsible for the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. And she lied about the reason for the attack. She lied for months about using a private email server for State Department business and even posting confidential government information on those servers. She possibly has endangered our country because of these leaked emails.

She lied about pay for play involving the Clinton Foundation. She said that they, the Clintons, were “dead broke” when they left the White House. Today they are worth millions, and they both have been involved in only politics their entire adult lives.

We, the American people, refuse to be lied to by any politician but especially one who wants to be president of the United States.

So please don’t blame anything other than the corruption of Clinton for her defeat. And I would hope that in the future the Democrats will choose an honorable, uncorrupted candidate to run for the most important job in the world.
