Former President Bill Clinton will travel on Monday to Puerto Rico, the U.S. territory which the Clinton Foundation has pledged to assist after it was ravaged by Hurricane Maria in September.
But before the citizens of Puerto Rico get their hopes up that the Clinton Foundation will help it rebuild, they should look at the promises that Bill and Hillary Clinton made to the people of Haiti that were never kept.
According to the Washington Post:
“Other Clinton-backed projects have not delivered on lofty promises: A 2011 housing expo that cost more than $2 million, including $500,000 from the Clinton Foundation, was supposed to be a model for thousands of new units but instead has resulted in little more than a few dozen abandoned model homes occupied by squatters.”
“Controversy surrounding the Clintons only deepened with the recent revelation, contained in an upcoming book by Peter Schweizer, that Tony Rodham — Hillary Clinton’s younger brother — serves on the advisory board of a U.S.-based company that in 2012 won one of Haiti’s first two gold-mining permits in 50 years. After objection from the Haitian Senate, the permits have been placed on hold.”
