Democratic activist and CNN political commentator Van Jones sharply criticized Hillary Clinton at the People’s Summit in Chicago this past weekend, claiming those in the Clinton campaign did not spend its money on workers or minorities, but rather spent it on themselves.
“Let’s be honest,” he told the Left-leaning crowd, which numbered in the thousands, “They took a billion dollars, a billion dollars, a billion dollars, and set it on fire, and called it a campaign!” Jones went on to accuse the Clinton campaign of blowing the money on high-paid consultants and pollsters who proved wrong, faulting the campaign’s reliance on “data dummies” who spent their time behind computers and failed to organize voters in key states like Michigan.
The failure of the Clinton campaign to turn contributions into votes raises greater concerns about the Clinton empire’s dubious finances.
