Hillary Clinton Loses Temper With Greenpeace Activist Over Fossil Fuel Donations

March 31, 2016

Hillary Clinton lost her patience with a Greenpeace activist Thursday who confronted the Democratic presidential frontrunner about taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

The Weekly Standard picked up the video, which can be seen on its website.

Clinton got right in the woman’s face and raised her voice angrily.

"I am so sick, I am so sick," Clinton said, wagging her finger at the activist, "of the Sanders campaign lying about me. I’m sick of it."

The presumptive Democratic nominee also appeared to tell the activist that she does not have any money from fossil fuel companies, although it is difficult to make out exactly what she was saying in the video.

The Weekly Standard posted Greenpeace’s description of the exchange:

"At a Hillary Clinton rally at SUNY Purchase campus today, the presidential candidate lost her patience with a Greenpeace activist who thanked her for her commitment to climate change then asked her whether she'll reject fossil fuel money moving forward. Pointing her finger at activist Eva Resnick-Day, Clinton claimed she only takes money from people who work for fossil fuel companies and called the accusations lies."
