Cher insults Trump, with gusto, at Clinton fundraiser
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Singer and actress Cher stops to talk to media as she leaves a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum in Provincetown, Mass.
DES MOINES, Iowa >> Entertainer Cher unloaded a freewheeling barrage of insults at Donald Trump during a private fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, comparing him to Hitler and saying he reminded her of the actress who played a murdering child in the film, “The Bad Seed.”
Speaking Sunday in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the singer and actress gave a stinging — and at times profane — assessment of the Republican presidential nominee. Invoking “The Bad Seed” she said: “He’s so Patty McCormack, consummate liar, doesn’t care who she hurts, insane.”
Before an enthusiastic crowd, Cher also said of Trump: “Do you remember ‘Fun with Dick and Jane’? It’s like racist fun with Dick and Jane.”
She later added: “He doesn’t mean we want to make America great again. He means we want to make America straight and white.” She also said that she was reminded of “despots, you know Stalin and Hitler.”
A video of Cher’s remarks at the “LGBT summer celebration” was posted on Facebook and first reported by The New York Times.
Cher, who has been campaigning with Clinton, offered praise, though with a few caveats.

“She is shy and she’s not the greatest speaker in the world,” Cher said. “But this is what I believe and this is what I know. I know she will work every moment of every day.”
After the event, Cher told reporters that Trump was “a racist, he’s a misogynist, he’s a horrible person.”
A partial clip of Clinton’s remarks was also posted on Facebook. Thanking Cher, Clinton said: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to have Cher here.”
A popular entertainer for decades, Cher came to fame in the 1960s as part of a singing duo with then-husband Sonny Bono. She has enjoyed success as a solo artist, with songs like “If I Could Turn Back Time” and “Believe,” and has starred in movies, including “Moonstruck,” ”Silkwood” and “Mermaids.”

Mrs. Clinton has pulled even in polling with Mr. Trump in South Carolina. The last Democrat to win South Carolina was Jimmy Carter.
Trump’s loss cannot be too humiliating. The larger the electoral landslide, the better.
I’m not entirely happy with Hillary, wish she didn’t make some of her careless (not Satanic) mistakes using her email, etc. But she’s clearly a much better choice than Trump; rather, Trump is a much worse choice than ANYONE.
I often vote 3rd party, to make a point, when the outcome of an election is already decided. But in this case, no matter how much ahead Hillary is, I’ll vote for her. People who care about the direction of this country want a landslide so big that Trump will never come back (I think he’s already tired of this losing thing, but just in case) and his unthinking followers will have to face reality. Maybe then they’ll get it.
I’m not sure that they’ll get it even then. You read them on here. Totally clueless. Plus, Trump is now convincing people that the election is being stolen.
Was Sonny on the Clinton Hit List?
He could convince them that the moon is made of cheese. What an easy lot.
That’s right, the illegal Muslims making cheese on the moon are sending emails to the liberal media; it’s pay for play and they got blood coming out of their whatever, so you know the election is rigged, and that’s why Black people should trust Donald. Yay!
Hillary State Dept. Helped Jailed Clinton Foundation Donor Get $10 Mil from U.S. for Failed Haiti Project
AUGUST 23, 2016
The new batch of emails showing that the State Department gave special access to top Clinton Foundation donors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state brings to mind the case of a shady Miami businessman serving a 12-year prison sentence after scamming the government out of millions. His name is Claudio Osorio, a Clinton Foundation donor who got $10 million from the government after the Clinton State Department reportedly pulled some strings.
Osorio got the money from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a federal agency that operates under the guidance of the State Department, to build houses in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. The OPIC supposedly promotes U.S. government investments abroad to foster the development and growth of free markets. Osorio’s “Haiti project” was supposed to build 500 homes for displaced families in the aftermath of the earthquake. The project never broke ground and Osorio used the money to finance his lavish lifestyle and fund his illicit business ventures. He also ran a fraudulent international company with facilities in the U.S., United Arab Emirates, Germany, Angola and Tanzania that stole millions from investors. Some of the OPIC Haiti money was used to repay investors of his fraudulent company (Innovida), according to federal prosecutors. In September 2013, Osorio was sentenced to 150 months imprisonment and three years of supervised release.
Hey, Million Mokeys, why aren’t you sharing your wit and wisdom on the Clinton Foundation corruption story…that seems to be a lot more relevant to this election that what some old, dried up Vegas act has to say. Same goes for AP….the propaganda wing of the Clinton operation.
Right On!!
Leave it to Cher to tell it like it is. Nice going.
Like I am going to listen to one word this dim wi tt actress says.
She might as well tell us about all the men she has slept with. More interesting than a Gypsy, tramp, and….whatevah!
Leave it to Cher to tell it like it is? Anyone that has to go under the knife so many times to reconstruct their face is a flake.
Cher is on par with the rest of Crooked Hilliary’s supporters. Cher is what’s wrong with America.
wow Les. thats the best you could come up with? And such an easy target. I’m disappointed.
Don’t see any crickets on this story today. The AP investigating HiLIARy.>>>Many donors to Clinton Foundation met with her at State Dept.
Associated Press
Updated August 23, 2016 3:59pm
WASHINGTON >> More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It’s an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.
Donors who were granted time with Clinton included an internationally known economist who asked for her help as the Bangladesh government pressured him to resign from a nonprofit bank he ran; a Wall Street executive who sought Clinton’s help with a visa problem; and Estee Lauder executives who were listed as meeting with Clinton while her department worked with the firm’s corporate charity to counter gender-based violence in South Africa.
The meetings between the Democratic presidential nominee and foundation donors do not appear to violate legal agreements Clinton and former president Bill Clinton signed before she joined the State Department in 2009. But the frequency of the overlaps shows the intermingling of access and donations, and fuels perceptions that giving the foundation money was a price of admission for face time with Clinton. Her calendars and emails released as recently as this week describe scores of contacts she and her top aides had with foundation donors.
The AP’s findings represent the first systematic effort to calculate the scope of the intersecting interests of Clinton foundation donors and people who met personally with Clinton or spoke to her by phone about their needs.
It’s just the beginning of the end for the Clingons. The RNC will be like rabid dogs chewing on that pants suit. Bill knew this was coming and did damage control. He knew it was a bad idea (Clinton Foundation) then and he knows it’s a bad idea now. Too late, the crimes have been committed. AP of all people connected the dots. Loretta and Obama are in a tough spot. If complicit they will go down with the Ship. Save yourself.
lol, and you are on par with the rest of Crooked Donald Supporters. You are what is wrong with America. How can you criticize sweet Hillary while ignoring the corruption, of the Donald? Why is the Donald afraid of releasing his taxes? At least Hillary has done this. Are you proud of the fact that you probably paid more taxes than the Donald?
What I would really like to see is the text of those outlandishly compensated speeches that Hillary gave to big business and other special interests.
This might give us all a better picture of how a future president might act.
As for the tax disclosures, I don’t think FDR did it (while running). Nixon might have been the first Republican. But who cares.
Most of the time when people insult other people it doesn’t reflect well on themselves. All their good works and good deeds are either forgotten or set aside and they’re usually the ones making themselves look bad! They have lowered themselves to the level of those they are insulting.
You’re wrong, of course, in this case. This is not going to affect Cher’s career or popularity one bit.
Lowering oneself to the level of Mr. Trump isn’t possible.
No I beg to differ. I think that the WizardOfMoa is quite accurate.
Of course.
The release of the correspondence follows previous disclosures of internal emails showing a similar pattern of access for foundation contributors, and it comes as Republicans allege that Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, used her perch in the Obama administration to trade favors for donations. Clinton and the foundation have vigorously denied the charge.
[Emails show that Clinton Foundation donors got access at State Department]
The disclosures also cast new doubts on Clinton’s past claim that she turned over all her work-related email from her private server to the State Department for eventual release to the public.
Judicial Watch said Monday’s release from Abedin’s inbox included 20 previously undisclosed exchanges with Clinton that were not included in the approximately 55,000 pages of correspondence the former secretary gave to State. Also Monday, the State Department said the FBI had turned over nearly 15,000 emails and other documents that investigators discovered during a probe of Clinton’s email setup that she had not previously returned to State.
Klastri, you’ve been homeless too long. Better straighten yourself out. Lock her up.
“Most of the time when people insult other people it doesn’t reflect well on themselves.”
Nothing personal, but I thought he was talking about you.
Is Wizard talking about Trump or Cher? The wise, mysterious wizard is correct about Donald. So many top Republicans and military leaders denouncing Donald. Wait until Paul Ryan, John McCain, and other uncomfortable political allies see that it’s a hopeless cause and withdraw their endorsements. Trump will be left naked. Except for Giulani and that dumb blonde on CNN—I don’t know what their problem is.
All this time I thought she was dead…..
Me too. Haha. These Clintonites are easy to impress. Look who they support.
ouch
I could not stand this lady as the Sonny & Cher duo, and still can’t stomach this lady today. And you know the worst part was, when she hooked up with Greg Allman,one of my musical heroes. This was a sad day for me. How many husbands did this fossil have? What was it One Hundred? You know the saying back then, “Cher likes to Share”…. Oh,..OH Wait ,wait! Does this mean? Crossing my fingers. lol. When president Trumps takes the oath of POTUS,that Cher along with her Hollywood buddies will be RELOCATING to Canada? Please,please,please! Oh Happy Days!
They’ll all be celebrating at Mrs. Clinton’s victory. You must not be reading the polls.
You mean Mrs. Clinton the crook. Funny how her name begins with a “C” as she is the epitome of the “C” word for women.
You are definitely a Trump supporter. Definitely.
The topic is the polls and how badly Donald J Trump is doing. Do you understand that?
Another time, we can have a insult discussion, which seems to be the main talent of your candidate, Teleprompter Trump, also known as:
…Dumb Donald
…Temperamental Trump
…Bombastic Billionaire (more likely, Melodramatic Millionaire)
…WALL-e
…Draft-Dodger Donald
…Orange You Glad You Don’t Have His Hairstylist
…Hero Basher
…Sore LOSER Donald
…Donald “I Love Black People” Trump
…The Only Man Who Can Get Rid of ISIS
…
Stick a fork in your Trump steak, ’cause it’s done!
Who let the monkeys out?
I heard that Reuters has changed its polling so that they no longer have an “undecided” category.
Instead, the pollster assigns the undecided to one side or another, based on their best judgement.
Might not change the winner, but might explain the recent jump.
That’s not true of course.
Lying will not help help Mr. Trump’s collapse.
I alway enjoy cogent, relevant, and astute political commentary. Any idea where I can find some? (and don’t say Breitbart. 🙂 )
Moilee writes “How many husbands did this fossil have?” Cher and Trump are the same age. Also, I believe Cher had fewer husbands than Trump had wives. Wan’t Trump married like 4 or 5 times? Or maybe I’m confusing that with the number of times he filed for bankruptcy. Whatever. Of significance, of course, is the fact that Cher is not running for President of the United States. Trump is.
The talentless, has been, Cher quit school when she was 14 and joined a band; except she couldn’t play an instrument so she played the musicians. Now she’s a foreign policy expert.
Alas Cher’s looks along with her sanity have faded with age. Like many angry feminists she lacks the self discipline and maturity to make a point without using profanity and personal attacks. While on the subject of Trumps alleged misogyny she missed the opportunity to bring up Willie’s philandering and abuse of women.
“Like many angry feminists she lacks the self discipline and maturity to make a point without using profanity and personal attacks.”
You’ve pretty much just called Trump an angry feminist. Just saying.
This isn’t news. They had to come up with something to deflect the emails and corruption breaking today. Trump is staying low while Crooked Hillary stews in her own disgrace. No matter how much lipstick and perfume you put on a sow, it’s still a sow.
Obama said,
2008- she’ll say anything and change nothing.
Jul 27, 2016 – … a woman, not me, not Bill Clinton, nobody, more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president …
What is that. A joke? Obama must be cahoots. Lock him up.
You can put a put gold ribbon on a jackass but it won’t make him an Arabian stallion.
Lipstick on a pig is a pig with lipstick.
Klastri, it must be tough defending Corruption. Have you no morals? I guess not.
This would be news,Loretta and Bill meeting at some airport Tarmac. You can be sure AP, CNN, MNBC, FOX, have a tail or these two prevaricators 24/7. FBI has bugged their cellphones.
There is a reason why all government records must not be destroyed. To prevent corruption. Maybe not before but surely now the preponderance of evidence found within the Clinton Foundation reeks of intent to defraud America and cannot be ignored.
James Comey and The FBI will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice, that includes a cogent argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.

Such great credentials. One air-head endorsing another.
Where is Antonio Sabato when you need him. Mighty silent since the RNC.
Nowhere to be found, kinda like you over at that article about Hillary’s donors…
Nothing worth replying to. All smoke and mirrors. Let me know when there is an indictment. Until then I won’t be holding my breath.
The problem with the Republican Party is that they chose a 70 year old boy to do a man’s job. Huuuuuge mistake.
Well then, since Trump hasn’t been indicted either, why are you here?
Not asking for his indictment only to see his taxes. I thought you were a Third party person? Run out of things to say about your candidate? I don’t think too many people would listen to you anyway.
BTW why the sudden interest in what I have to say? Just asking. Thanks for the attention.
Hillary State Dept. Helped Jailed Clinton Foundation Donor Get $10 Mil from U.S. for Failed Haiti Project
So what? Like I said let me know when she’s indicted. Then it will be worth my time to join the commentary. Right now too busy watching the Chump getting his as- kicked in the polls.
Who the heck is she calling the “consummate liar?” Does she really think Hillary Clinton is not a consummate liar?? Oh, wait, she’s a “pathological liar.” Nothing more and nothing less.
trumpy is worse, he lies all the time, about 10-20 times per day. he has not integrity, just classless and full of it.
Cher could slap Trump and say, “Snap out of it!”
And get an award for that!
Cher and HiLIARy such a beautiful couple. Slick Willy must be jealous of Hilly.
this Cher and other news outlets compare trump with Hitler is ridiculous. lets see trump did not steal your money and doubled our debt, trump did not raise your taxes,or quadruple the price of food, trump did not stir a race war, trump did not leave our soldiers in Bengazi to be slaughtered and desecrated by filthy muslims, trump did not send the navy to fight for Syria and al queida trump did not armed isis to kill Christians in the middle east, trump did not betray Israel, trump did not provide technology to iran’s nuclear program, trump did not give our military secret’s to china, trump did not remove are nuclear weapons in Poland at Russia’s request, trump did not shrivel our military and betray out vets. trump did not cripple our economy, trump did not ruin our credit twice, trump did not quadruple unemployment for blacks, trump did not increase our welfare to record level’s in 8 years, trump did not set free all terrorist in Guantanamo, trump did not steal our rights or violated our constitutional laws or commit treason a hundred times. these are just a few of what Obama and hillary did, so as far as I can see Hillary and Obama should be compared to hitler since there running neck and with him.
should be running neck and neck with hitler.
for a great entertainer and a supposedly loving person, there sure is a lot hate in her heart. sad.. more aloha tita!
auwe!
And what hate is that? It is not Cher who calls for a 50 ft. wall to keep out Mexicans who will rape your women.
What would be wrong with keeping out Mexicans who are rapists?
A wall and an orderly immigration system would give us a chance of doing that.
it would also help with the heroin epidemic in places like New Hampshire.
Equally serious is the possibility of terrorists from the mid-east or North Africa.
A wall would help stop infiltration that could come through Mexico.
If your goal is to make people feel sorry for you, it’s working.
Shad-up Cher, you are a good entertainer, but don’ know squat about polotics.
lol, neither does the Donald.
She has more common sense than pretty much any Trump supporter.
But she probably knows that it’s spelled politics, and not polotics.
YOU GO GIRL !!!!! TELL IT LIKE IT T-I-Z … “TIZ”
You look great, Cher; sing us a song, please.
Cher looks Fabulous for 70 y/o. FABULOUS.
That I will agree with you on. But . . . . . . .
Are you kidding?!? She’s looking very long in the tooth.
totally agree with her comments. trumpy is idiotic bigot and tax cheat.
Oh, poor Cher. Talk about racist and obnoxious. Go back into your hole.
Cher and the rest of the Clingons better watch their step if Trump gets in. Obama is between a rock and a hard place. $ 400,000,000.00 ransom, 13 payments to Iran for $ 99,999,999.99, $150,000,000,000.00 Iran nuclear deal and they try and run down a US Navy ship, capture a naval vessel, hold hostages? No respect. What a joke.
You sure you want four more years?
Wow, my feelings would be so hurt if Cher insulted me like that! Such a joke.
