Hillary Rodham Clinton fudged her family history at a campaign appearance in Iowa Wednesday when she described her grandparents as immigrants.
“All my grandparents, you know, came over here and, you know, my grandfather went to work in a lace mill in Scranton, Pa.,” Clinton said.
But, acccording to documents posted on Buzzfeed.com, only one of her grandparents immigrated, while the others were born in the United States shortly after their parents arrived.
A spokesperson for Clinton said that although her grandparents were not officially immigrants, they regularly spoke about the “immigrant experience.”
“As a result, she has always thought of them as immigrants,” the spokesman told BuzzFeed News.
