Anti-Clinton movie was not accurate

In reply to the letter by Eleanor Hesse about the movie "Hillary's America."

The movie is not accurate. Movie critic Dann Gire gave it a half star for that reason. The movie was slapped together, and its only purpose was to discredit the Democrats. Thomas Jefferson, the Ku Klux Klan, Woodrow Wilson, have nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.

Go to the Clinton Foundation website and you'll see a public listing of more 7,000 donors. I'll list some economist Muhammad Yunus who won the Nobel Prize in 2006. He also won the congressional Gold Medal in 2010. He has been a personal friend of Hillary since the 1980s.

Another donor, Crown Prince Salman of Bahrain, our Persian Gulf ally's head of state. He was accused of donating $32 million in what Donald Trump said was a pay-to-play donation. What he did was use the Clinton Foundation to set up a scholarship fund for students in his own country. That was in 2005, and Hillary Clinton wasn't Secretary of State until four years later.

The last donor I'll mention was Donald Trump in 2008. Why? Was that for pay-to-play, just asking.

President Lyndon B. Johnson did more for the little guy, black or white. He sent troops to Selma, Alabama, to put down the unrest so blacks could go to any white school they wanted to go to. He pushed for Medicare, which is enjoyed by anyone regardless of who you are. It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt who pushed for Social Security, which is enjoyed by anyone who qualifies regardless of race or creed.
