This is just too perfect.
A video released by the Republican National Committee Friday points out Hillary Clinton’s “hypocrisy” in approving of President Obama’s use of executive power to deal with the immigration issue.
The clip shows Obama approaching the podium to address the nation on immigration Thursday night as Clinton’s voice narrates.
The voiceover is taken from Clinton’s 2008 remarks about President George W. Bush during which she denounced him for abusing executive power.
“Unfortunately, our current president does not seem to understand the basic character of the office he holds,” Clinton said. “Rather than faithfully execute the laws, he has rewritten them through signing statements, ignored them through secret legal opinions, undermined them by elevating ideology over facts.”
“Rather than defending the Constitution, he has defied its principles and traditions,” she continued. “He has abused his power while failing to understand its purpose. This administration’s unbridled ambition to transform the executive into an imperial presidency in an attempt to strengthen the office has weakened our nation.”
Ironically, the comments could accurately describe President Obama’s use of executive power today, especially when it comes to the illegal immigration issue.
There’s only one problem: Hillary Clinton claimed she “supports the president’s decision” today.
As the RNC puts it in a word, #Hypocrisy.
“Stop the Obama-Clinton immigration overreach,” urges the video at its end.
