SKVERE CHASIDIM TOLD TO VOTE FOR HILLARY
In the name of the Rebbe, skvere chassidim were told to vote for Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton, with whom the Chassidus has warm ties
The Rebbes main gabbai announced Friday night after davening that the chassidus will be indorsing Hillary Clinton for president.
The gabbais announcement did not come as a surprise, since Skeverer chassidim have always been voting for Hillary in all her past election campaigns, including her campaign to the senate.
The connection between Skvere and the Clinton family started back in 1999 when four Skverer chassidim were charged by federal prosecutors for money fraud, at the amount of thirty million dollars. The four received sentences ranging from two and a half to six and a half years in prison. That same year Hillary was running for the senate. Just six weeks after Hillary received fourteen hundred votes from new Squrae, the Rebbes request to meet then president bill Clinton was granted.
During their forty-five-minute conversation the Rebbe asked the president to pardon or idlest minimize the sentence that was handed down to his chassidim. Stressing that they did not use the money for personal gain rather to help fund a project that was helping the needy in the community. The Rebbe also presented the president with a beautiful silver menorah.
Former president Bill Clinton did in fact significantly reduce the Chassidism sentence.
Unhappy with the presidents interference, the department of justice severely criticized the move stating that the president was misusing his power of pardoning. Clintons aides responded to the accusations by saying that the president had not received any bribes and was not committing any criminal offense by easing the sentence.
Prosecutors did request that the pardons be repealed, however their request was denied by the department of justice.
The special connection with the Clinton family will also be influencing tomorrows election.
