Hillary Clinton hopes the next POTUS will ‘propose a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United’ and get money out of politics

FIRST AMENDMENT FTW. https://t.co/Dw5yDJZi1q

Alas, you know who’s not happy? Hillary Clinton. And she hopes the next president will do something about it:

Ten years ago today, the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United unleashed hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate and special-interest money into U.S. elections. The next president should propose a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision.

Yeah, screw the constitutional amendment that enshrines our right to free speech! We need another one to get rid of it!

It doesn’t seem to bother you when YOU are the recipient!#Hypocrisy

Ah, but that’s totally different, you see.

Hillary would rather people not be able to criticize her. https://t.co/93Nbuy1Swl

That’s really what this all boils down to.

Reminder: Citizens United was about the FEC trying to prevent the airing of a film made by a non profit group that criticized Hillary, in advance of the 2008 Democratic primary. https://t.co/AZpBWlbAoH

I know I keep saying this, but it bears repeating. In news to no one, politicians dislike criticism and most of them would trample on your right to do so if not for the First Amendment, all the while claiming to want to keep money that they are free to refuse out of politics.
