Clinton gets 'numerous donations' from Saudi Arabia: Analyst
US Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has received “numerous donations” from Saudi Arabia and her condemnation of Riyadh’s recent mass executions is hypocritical, says a political analyst in Kentucky.
Clinton said the United States should ask Saudi Arabia "serious questions,” following the Saudi regime’s execution of 47 people, including prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr.
"Clearly this raises serious questions that we have to raise directly with the Saudi government," Clinton said on Sunday during a town hall meeting in Derry, New Hampshire.
The former secretary of state was responding to a question about how she would handle the situation if elected president.
“It’s tough to call her comments anything except ‘the pot calling the kettle black,’” John Miranda said in an interview with Press TV.
The Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign have enjoyed “numerous donations from Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia’s various corporations and princes that have dealings with the United States,” he noted.
“For her to say that we need to talk to them [Saudis] about this; she honestly could care less,” he added.
Miranda said that Saudi Arabia is committing the same crimes that the American people associate with the Daesh (ISIL) terrorist group rather than a long-time US ally in the Middle East.
“Everything that’s happening with the unrest in northern Iraq and Syria, they are doing the same exact things that happen in Saudi Arabia,” he said.
“Saudi Arabia is also one of the countries that is funding the terrorists in Syria and northern Iraq, so obviously they are practicing the same type of things,” the analyst added.
“Hillary Clinton is a complete hypocrite. That is the only way I can describe her,” Miranda stressed.
