John Podesta on May 4
Hillary
Clinton entered this race to fight for solutions that will help
everyday Americans get ahead and stay ahead. Already, in the first days
of her campaign, she hit the road to discuss these ideas with ordinary
Americans. In Iowa, she described the need to get unlimited, anonymous
money out of our politics — and promised to push for a constitutional
amendment if that’s what it takes. In a speech last week in New York,
she discussed her ideas for reforming our criminal justice system in
order to repair the broken trust between law enforcement and the
communities they serve. And tomorrow, in a visit to Las Vegas, Hillary
will discuss the need to enact comprehensive immigration reform to
address an unsustainable system that leaves families living in fear and
denies our economy the full benefit of their labor.
Republicans,
meanwhile, are far less interested in discussing these important issues
because they know their proposals are out of step with what most
Americans need. Rather than focus on what truly matters in this
campaign, Republicans seem to only want to distort Hillary Clinton’s
record. It is clear that they have a two fisted strategy to try to
undermine her, using unlimited dark money on the one hand and taxpayer
funds on the other.
This strategy will
not work, but that isn’t going to stop Republicans from trying. In
recent weeks, the House Select Committee on Benghazi has signaled that
it will allow proceedings drag into 2016, proving that they intend to
turn what was once a legitimate inquiry into a partisan exercise. Now,
within days of Hillary announcing her campaign for President, we are
confronted with latest in a long list of partisan books attacking the
Clintons.
