Former President Bill Clinton took to Facebook on President’s Day to defend his controversial Clinton Foundation from it’s numerous critics — including The Washington Post, which called for a federal investigation in the alleged pay-to-play scheme in Nov. 2017.
Clinton cited left-leaning sites like Politifact to attack those critical of the foundation’s work. It took just 12 words to push his claims right back into his and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s faces… and it included an icy reminder that likely ruined their President’s Day holiday.
The Clintons tried to use social media to complain that the media’s coverage of their controversial organization wasn’t as biased as they wanted.
“These attacks on the Foundation began in earnest with the 2015 publication of the Breitbart-inspired book, Clinton Cash,” Clinton wrote. “I thought the Foundation staff did a good job debunking the book’s charges, but they were published as written even in ‘mainstream’ outlets, and even now the charges continue to be repeated online and in forums favorable to those who make them.”
Hillary also jumped in on Twitter, sharing Bill’s write-up and claiming it was the “real story.”

Their timing isn’t a coincidence, say critics.
The FBI launched an investigation into the alleged pay-to-play Clinton Foundation six weeks ago — and word from friendly insiders may have gotten back to the Clintons that the investigation has uncovered illegal activities.
That’s when Twitter user @rockytyler1980 needed only 12 words to craft the perfect response —

Ouch.
Other social media users also savaged the Clinton family.
