Hillary Clinton is having a lot of memory lapses on the campaign trail in Iowa.
On Sunday, she called the GOP candidates “those guys,” forgetting that there is another woman running besides herself, and on Monday in a local interview she said that she supported marriage equality “as a right, not to be given or taken away by states” after she left the State Department, when in fact in 2014 she told NPR that it should be a matter left up to the states.
Confused? Us too. Let’s back up.
So this week, Clinton is in Iowa for a corn tasting convention. Just kidding — she’s obviously there campaigning.
While campaigning, she sat down with local station WHO13 to discuss a myriad of topics. But the one that had people scratching their heads and doing some fact checking was her claim that she supported marriage equality as a federal issue, not a state issue, back in 2013 after leaving the State Department.
Clinton went on to tell WHO’s Dave Price that after “evolving” to understand that marriage equality should be a federal issue, she was as Secretary of State “very much in the forefront of trying to end discrimination.”
That, as she claims, was her “evolved” mindset on marriage equality when she ended her reign as Secretary of State in December 2013.
Fast forward to 2014, when she said this in an interview with NPR:
If you’re just as confused as she seems to be about what she believed and has said in the past, here’s a quick summary:
They do say that the more lies you tell, the harder it is to remember what the truth is.
And if memory is going to be an issue for Hillary, what can the nation expect from her should she become the leader of the free world? Will anyone be curious enough to ask her to clear up the timeline of her stance on this issue or will they just continue to analyze her favorite pantsuits?
Maybe some more background information regarding what she really believed and when will come out in her e-mails.
