Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton says the "vast right-wing conspiracy" she talked about in the 1990s is still alive and well.
"It's gotten even better funded," Clinton said Wednesday during a CNN town hall event. "You know, they brought in some new multi-billionaires to pump the money in.
"Look, these guys play for keeps," she said. "They want to control our country. ... They want to rig the economy so they continue to get richer and richer, they could care less about income inequality."
Members of the conspiracy, she said ease their consciences by giving to philanthropic causes, "but make no mistake, they want to destroy unions, they want to go after any economic interests that they don't believe they can control. They want to destroy our balance of power.
"They want to go after our political system and fill it with people who will do their bidding."
She didn't identify any members, but hinted at a couple, saying Republican candidates believe climate change is real, but are "just doing the bidding of the Koch brothers. They're told, 'don't you dare say climate change is real because we're in the fossil fuel business.'"
