RNC's Priebus on Hillary's Speech: 'A Litany of Platitudes'

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus ripped Hillary Clinton's acceptance speech Thursday as "merely a litany of platitudes" by an "ultimate Washington insider" that failed to address the critical issues facing the country.

"Time and again, Hillary Clinton’s dishonesty and cronyism have proved she is the wrong person to lead our country as president," Priebus said in a statement. "The American people have had enough of the corruption, the deceit, and the stonewalling which have been the hallmarks of her entire career.

"After decades of lying to the public, politically-motivated flip flops, a family foundation that took millions from foreign governments while she was secretary of state, and repeated and blatant lies over her reckless mishandling of classified information, the only sure thing about Hillary Clinton is that she puts her own political interests above the rest of us."

Priebus said that Clinton's speech "was merely a litany of platitudes which dodged a serious discussion of our slumping economy and our diminished standing in the world under President [Barack] Obama, topics which should be well-known to her after spending years in his cabinet.

"Hillary Clinton is the ultimate Washington insider at a time when Americans are eager to break with eight years of a Democrat status quo, and there’s no doubt her longtime pattern of shady conduct and double standards will continue if she is elected president."
