Clinton denies disparaging voters in '95
Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign denied Thursday that she had referred disparagingly to blue-collar workers after they voted Republican in the 1994 congressional elections, which gave the GOP control of Congress and cast a shadow on her husband's presidency.
The allegation, which surfaced Wednesday on The Huffington Post, is that at a Camp David, Md., retreat in January 1995, Clinton ― then first lady ― told her husband to abandon Southern working-class voters who had deserted his party at the polls.
"Screw 'em," she said, according to several witnesses. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They've done nothing for you. You don't have to do anything for them."
Her campaign denied the charge Thursday. "It ain't so, it ain't so," communications director Howard Wolfson said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Ahead of Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary ― in which working-class voters could tip the balance ― Clinton has been pounding Obama for saying that small-town Americans were "bitter" over their economic woes and clinging to religion and guns as a result.
Clinton said: "I don't think [Obama] really gets it that people are looking for a president who stands up for you and not looks down on you."
