Hillary Clinton yelled at an activist on the rope line after a campaign event in New York Thursday, saying that she was “so sick” of Bernie Sanders’ campaign accusing her of taking money from the fossil fuels industry.
“Will you act on your word not to accept fossil fuel money in the future in your campaign?” a Greenpeace activist asked the Clinton on the Democratic front-runner.

“I do not have money from people who worked for fossil fuel companies,” Clinton replied, as she pointed at the voter, her voice rising. “I am so sick, so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about this, I am sick of it.”
On the campaign trial, Sanders often calls the former secretary of state out for her reliance on wealthy corporate contributions, especially the fossil fuels industry. Although Clinton denied taking money from such companies, records show that over the course of her career Clinton has taken over $2.3 million from energy or natural resources industries.
At the same event, Clinton also told a voter on the rope line that she supports New York state’s ban on fracking.
