Clinton Claims she does not receive Money from the Fossil Fuel Industry

4/1/16

Hillary Clinton is attacking Bernie Sanders, stating “She’s sick” of the Sander’s campaign “lying about me” accepting money from the fossil fuel industry.

Does Hillary Clinton accept money from the fossil fuel industry?  It is very easy to check these facts.  According to Open Secrets, which calculates donations to campaigns, Clinton has received $307,561 from gas and oil companies.  We can safely rate her claim that she does not receive money from the fossil fuel industry as a Blatant Lie.
