Hillary Clinton Serves Port Deal Kool Aid at Miami Fundraiser


After serving the Kool Aid at a Miami fundraiser, Hillary Clinton wows the crowd by reciting her favorite lines from Shakespeare's "Macbeth:" "Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and kool aid bubble."

From Newsmax:

In her first public comments since Dubai Ports World volunteered to postpone its takeover late Thursday, Clinton said she is "very pleased when last night the administration and the Dubai company said that they would subject themselves to the questions that Americans and their elected representatives have. That's the way a democracy is supposed to work."

But Clinton added that she did not believe another country should be running American ports.

"We cannot cede sovereignty over critical infrastructure like our ports. This is a job that America has to do," Clinton told about 600 people at a breakfast sponsored by the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Union members protesting the proposed takeover echoed that sentiment.

Sovereignty? Over a couple of terminals, a minority of those at each port?

NO foreign country that buys or leases property in the United States acquires sovereignty over that asset!

And you didn't think there was a HUGE amount of disinformation about this ports deal?

Here again from the Department of Homeland Security:
DP World will not, nor will any other terminal operator, control, operate or manage any United States port. DP World will only operate and manage specific, individual terminals located within six ports.

Baltimore - 2 of 14 total.
Philadelphia - 1 of 5
Miami - 1 of 3
New Orleans - 2 of 5
Houston - 4 of 12.
Newark - 1 of 4.
Does the Saudi Airlines have "sovereignty" over the terminals they lease at American airports?
