Bill Clinton shoved his foot in his mouth once again this week, comparing himself and the Clinton Foundation to a fictional thief.
Bill Clinton said Monday that Republican attacks on his family’s foundation were “funny” and likened his actions as head of the organization to Robin Hood’s.
“They even went after my foundation last week. Now that was really funny,” the former president told a crowd at the AFL-CIO’s picnic in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Labor Day.
“I was sort of Robin Hood, except I didn’t rob anybody,” Clinton said. “I just asked people with money to give it to people who didn’t have money.”
Republicans have accused the Clinton Foundation of running a “pay-to-play” scheme, following the release of private emails showing cozy relationships between top foundation officials and the State Department during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of State from 2009-13.
Of course, Bill Clinton’s insistence that his foundation gave to those who “didn’t have money” have been under scrutiny for years. Studies have shown that the vast majority of the foundation’s money goes directly into the pockets of those at the top.
