While I will continue to support the work of the Foundation, I will step down from the Board and will no longer raise funds for it.

A charity that has raised billions of dollars to fight malaria, AIDS and world hunger is losing its top fundraiser because lying Republicans have spent months convincing people the money raised for the Foundation went directly into the Clinton family's pocket.
And for added irony, all the while supporting a man who is grifting his own donors by spending millions of campaign dollars on his own ventures.
Sad!

Ho-Hum. The Clintons-never-get-in-trouble-with-the-law-therefore-they-have-done-nothing-wrong canard is really getting old. Even Democrat pundits and some of Hillary's friends and advisors are saying Hillary should distance herself from the foundation.
Hillary is the very embodiment of everything that Bernie progressives think is wrong with government and the political class. Why can't you guys see it?

The Clinton Foundation was never a big issue for us Bernie supporters because we're not insane. The paid Wall Street speeches on the other hand was, because that was going into her pocket.
Dems are saying that because it's become a huge political liability because the desperate Republicans have made it a political football.
There's no evidence of wrongdoing with the Foundation, which has helped hundreds of millions of people. Yes, some of the foreign donors are troubling, but a. if it's not going into her pocket she's not being "bought" and b. why not separate bad actors from their money?
