It Takes Another Liar: Bill Clinton Defends Hillary’s Sniper Fire Lie (Video)

Apparently, the Bosnia sniper fire lie so big, it takes two liars to tell it. As one who is not unfamiliar with the art of lying, Bill Clinton defends and stands by Hillary Clinton’s sniper fire story and tosses in some embellishment of his own.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton

“She took a terrible beating in the press for a few days,” he said, per ABC News’ Sarah Amos, “because she was exhausted at 11 o’clock at night (1) and she started talking about Bosnia and she misstated the circumstances under which she landed in Bosnia. (2)

“Did you all see all that? And oh, they acted like she was practically Mata Hari,” he said — referring to the Dutch exotic dancer accused by the French of spying for the Germans and executed by a firing squad during World War I — “like she was making up all this stuff.

“And then the president of Bosnia said, ‘Well, it was quite dangerous when she came, there were snipers in the hills all around,’ (3) And then Gen. Wes Clarke, who was there trying to make the peace among the Bosnians, said ‘Yeah, it was dangerous, let me remind you three of the Americans who were on my peace-keeping team were killed because they had to take a dangerous road ’cause they couldn’t go the regular way.’

Keep reading, as Jake Tapper cites the other incidents where Hillary Clinton was too tired to tell the truth and includes footnotes to remind us that neither of the Clinton Bosnia sniper fire tales is supported by facts or evidence.

    If Senator Clinton is exhausted at 11 p.m. and too tired to tell the truth, then I definitely do not want her to answer the red phone at 3:00 a.m.!!
