Aides of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 Presidential campaign are reported to have kept a detailed list of enemy Democrats they felt betrayed Hillary by backing Barack Obama during that hard-fought primary campaign.
On the list were Senators John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, as well as Representatives Chris Van Hollen and Rob Andrews, all Democrats.
This news emerged from a new book titled, HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton.
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry apparently came under criticism especially for having made a show of endorsing Obama only days after Hillary was riding high when she won the New Hampshire primary after losing the Iowa primary to Obama in 2007. Kerry’s endorsement was a big blow to Clinton.
“Almost six years later most Clinton aides can still rattle off the names of traitors and the favors that had been done for them, then provide details of just how each of the guilty had gone on to betray the Clintons–as if it all had happened just a few hours before,” write the authors, reporters Jonathan Allen of Politico and Amie Parnes of The Hill. “The data project ensured that the acts of the sinners and saints would never be forgotten.”
If Hillary runs for President again one wonders how many of those on her list will be retaliated against?
