Hillary Clinton: There she goes again

Buzz Feed - At a town hall in Las Vegas , Hillary Clinton told the audience that her father, Hugh Rodham, attended college on a football scholarship — a claim that is contradicted by the school’s records.“You know I’m the granddaughter of a factory worker from Scranton, Pennsylvania,” Clinton said. “My grandfather worked in the lace mills in Scranton. He worked really hard from the time he was a teenager till he retired in ‘65. He always believed his hard work would pay off, and it would pay off for his kids. So my dad got to go to college, it was on a football scholarship, but he still got to go to college.” Rodham did earn a letter and play football at Penn State, but as Carl Bernstein reported in his 2007 biography of Clinton, the school did not award football scholarships during Rodham’s time there.
