Clinton Backer Villaraigosa Called out for Saying Clintons Haven’t ‘Enriched Themselves’ with Politics

VILLARAIGOSA: “Well, I think Hillary acknowledged — and certainly the campaign understands and so do the voters the issue of trust is an issue that’s front and center in this campaign. She will have to respond to it and not just respond to it in the course of this campaign. When she is elected she’ll have to demonstrate that through her actions, not just words that the American people can trust her. I know her. I do trust her frankly, and I do because they haven’t enriched themselves from politics frankly. What they have done, whether through the foundation or through their work in public service is help a whole lot of people. This is a woman who has spent her entire life investing in children. The Clinton foundation has done a lot of really good work. And so but clearly, as you mentioned, this is an issue. It’s an issue for Donald Trump as well. I mentioned many times that the Washington Post and political fact have said that virtually 75% of what comes out of his mouth is either a lie and we saw it yesterday that Mr. Trump is all bark and no bite. He said he didn’t mention that Mexico would paid for the wall. Since they left the white House they have done well but not as public servants. You know, people do well after they leave office. Clearly this is an issue we’ll have to address.”
