Dick Morris, former advisor to America's ex-president Bill Clinton, went to Youtube with a short video counterstatement to Hillary Clinton's New Bedford tale in Democratic National Convention speech.
Hillary Clinton, in her nationally broadcasted acceptance speech at DNC Convention, remembered a handicapped young lady in a wheelchair from New Bedford, Massachussets, who couldn't go to any school due to her disability.
These are the things she told to the audience:
"So, I went to work for the Children's Defense Fund, going door-to-door in New Bedford, Mass., on behalf of children with disabilities who were denied the chance to go to school. I remember meeting a young girl in a wheelchair on the small back porch of her house. She told me how badly she wanted to go to school - it just didn't seem possible in those days. And I couldn't stop thinking of my mother and what she'd gone through as a child. It became clear to me that simply caring is not enough. To drive real progress, you have to change both hearts and laws. You need both understanding and action. So we gathered facts. We built a coalition. And our work helped convince Congress to ensure access to education for all students with disabilities."
But it was absolute NONSENSE.
Morris revealed in his video that: "She (Hillary Clinton) Lied. She just flat out lied. And Bill's speech contained the reference to the same story. Complete fabrication."
And he also exposed what Jack Markey, the New Bedford's mayor in 1973, has revealed at WSBM:
"It's not true. I'm even a Democrat, but the truth is the truth.. I took over as Mayor in January of 1973. We had a budget for vans with drivers and provided services to students with disabilities. It was Tremblay Bus. They would pick them up and drop them off at their homes. Now, they may not have been able to go to the local school, depending on whether or not the schools were accessible for wheelchairs but there were many schools then which could and did accommodate our handicapped students in wheelchairs."
According to Morris, there is local guy who was a paraplegic and he was injured in a diving accident, then came to his office many times to advocate for the disabled. The guy actually spent one whole day (in year 1973) in a wheelchair to better understand the challenges they face everyday. Soon they were also out in the sidewalks on wheelchairs, doing things in New Bedford before the laws ever compelled them to.
Everything was absolutely a lie as Morris firmly suggests. He has posted the video all over so that his claims can catch up the lie.
