Where is Hillary’s credibility?

Brian Williams has lost credibility as a national news reporter for falsely claiming to have been aboard a helicopter that came under rocket-propelled grenade fire in Iraq.

I remember when Hillary Clinton claimed she had come under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia in 1996 while she was first lady. She claimed she and her daughter, Chelsea, ran for cover under hostile fire shortly after her plane landed in Tuzla, Bosnia.

Several news outlets disputed the claim, and a video of the trip showed Clinton walking from the plane, accompanied by her daughter. They were greeted by a young girl in a small ceremony on the tarmac, and there was no sign of tension or any danger.

Hillary wants to be our next president. Where is her credibility? If she is elected, it will prove that it is acceptable to lie for political gain.
