No, the Clinton Foundation is not charging $7 per water bottle sent to Houston

Source: Politifact.com



By Miriam Valverde on Wednesday, September 6th, 2017 at 3:53 p.m.

It’s not true that the Clinton Foundation is providing water to Houston hurricane survivors at $7 per bottle. That’s fake news.

An Aug. 30 post on OurLandofTheFree.com claimed the foundation "is using an outdated rule for non-profits" that would allow it "to compete in the free market regardless of who the competition is.’"

The headline says, "Clinton Foundations (sic) sends water to Houston…for $7 a bottle."


...................A claim from OurLandofTheFree.com that the Clinton Foundation is charging $7 per bottle of water sent to Houston after Hurricane Harvey is made up. We rate it Pants on Fire!

from the fact that Trump has no intention of actually giving a million dollars
When the media points this out, Trump's followers will claim the real news is about Hillary's profiteering
Too many people even some DUers will fall for this

Some RWNJs left their integrity, honesty and brains long before casting a vote for IT.

Keeping up with all their lies makes Politifact a valuable resource. I thank the entire staff for their work.
