Priebus blasts Clinton for promoting ‘failed status quo’
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Hillary Clinton as an agent of the status quo on Saturday in his party’s weekly address.
{mosads}“A Hillary Clinton presidency only means more of the same failed status quo which has racked up unprecedented debt, sent your healthcare premiums soaring because of ObamaCare, and kept middle class families wondering if a raise was ever coming,” Priebus said.
He lashed out at the former secretary of State for her foreign policy record, blaming her for the rise of ISIS and instability in the Middle East.
“In foreign policy, a Clinton presidency means forgetting our friends and enabling our enemies,” he said. “It was on her watch ISIS started to spread its wings of darkness over the Middle East, and Libya became a playground for radical Islamic terrorists.”
Echoing his presumptive nominee Donald Trump, Priebus also suggested that Clinton is corrupt and would use the White House to advance her personal agenda.
“The Clinton gravy train has been barreling down the tracks for too long,” he said. “Americans have had enough of a government that doesn’t work for them. They’ve had enough of the Clintons’ excuses and cronyism and cover ups. They’ve had enough of the corrupt bargains and above the law mentality. This election is about our chance to stop all of that.”
He also claimed that Trump will put an end to illegal immigration and “make sure our government puts American citizens first.”
“He’s going to negotiate better trade deals, revive our ports and our factories, and breathe new life into the cities and towns eager to roll up their sleeves and reclaim their place as the greatest manufacturing centers in the world,” he said.
Priebus came out with a similar statement Friday night shortly after Clinton announced that she had chosen Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine for her running mate.
