Apparently snubbing Americans on Independence Day by jetting off to Great Britain was not enough. Likely presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton decided to also spurn the Brits with her lack of knowledge of their political system.
Clinton appeared to state the Conservative and Tory Parties in Britain were rival political parties during a BBC interview, the Washington Free Beacon found.
During the interview, Clinton was asked by the host what she thought of the relationship between the U.S. and Great Britain and Clinton declared it was “very special between our countries.”
“There’s not just a common language, but a common set of values that we can fall back on,” she said. “It doesn’t matter in our country whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat or frankly, in your country, whether it’s a Conservative or a Tory. There is a level of trust and understanding. That doesn’t mean we always agree because, of course, we don’t.”
“Tory” is actually another name for the Conservative Party in Britain, something a former Secretary of State would typically know.
This is just the latest in a series of gaffes by Clinton, including her now infamous comments about being “dead broke.”
These slip-ups are part of the reason Hillary supporters are creating a daily newsletter to distribute and promote a “unified message” about the potential candidate.
Correct the Record, a project housed under the Democratic super PAC American Bridge, will send out a daily email program called “The Daily Point,” Buzzfeed reported Wednesday.
“The Daily Point will provide supporters with a unified message,” the project’s leader Burns Strider told Buzzfeed. “Each day, the email will consist of some current news, points about the day’s news, and quick facts about Hillary Clinton’s many achievements.”
