Not surprised at all, after all Killary IS into everything that is bad for humanity, wars, euthanasia (same as Gates), destruction of the country by open borders… I am still waiting for the news that she also strongly supports smart meters/grid (google smart meter dangers) which is going to cause pandemic of infertility, cancers and DNA mutations in near futures so the circle is complete.
