Clinton: ‘I Don’t Know That I Ever Have’ Taken Money from Fossil Fuel Industry

By Published on December 17, 2015

Hillary Clinton was asked by an attendee at her town hall meeting in Iowa Wednesday if she would sign a pledge saying that she would not accept money from the fossil fuel industry. Clinton said that she did not think that she had ever accepted money from the oil and gas industries. She joked that she was not one of their favorite people.

“Well, I don’t know that I ever have. I am not exactly one of their favorites,” Clinton said. “Have I? Well, I will check on that.”

A Huffington Post analysis revealed that all of her lobbyist-bundlers have worked for the fossil fuel industry at one point in time. The lobbying firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has been registered to lobby for Chevron since 2006.
