Former Military K-9 Handler: I Met Hillary Clinton and Will Never Vote for Her

She uttered just one sentence to him, and that sentence spoke volumes.

8.3.2016

Former military K-9 handler, Eric Bonner, who used to work security at various global locations for top U.S. officials, recently relived his one and only encounter with Hillary Clinton and said that encounter made it impossible for him to ever vote for her.

On a Facebook post dated July 28, Bonner explained how he met Mrs. Clinton during a trip to Turkey while she served as Secretary of State. The K9 handler performed a security sweep of her DV Quarters and staff vehicles before encounter the Sec. of State directly. According to Bonner, Clinton then spoke a single sentence to him: "Get that f**king dog away from me."

The American Mirror blog circulated the contents of Bonner's Facebook post, captured below:

On Facebook Bonner posted the following of his exchange with Mrs. Clinton:

One of my Last details was for Hillary when she was Secretary of State. She was in Turkey for whatever reason. I helped with sweeps of her DV Quarters and staff vehicles. Her words to me? "Get that Fucking dog away from me." Then she turns to her Security Detail and berates them up and down about why that animal was in her quarters. For the next 20 minutes while I sit there waiting to be released she lays into her detail, slamming the door in their faces when she's done. The Detail lead walks over apologizes and releases me. I apologize to him for getting him in trouble. His words "Happens every day, Brother"

While Hillary supporters might question the veracity of Bonner's claims, it should be noted that the K9 handler did not seem to have any problems with President Obama, whom he said jested with him during a separate exchange.

What's more, the website Snopes verified certain details about Bonner and his claims that seems to point to his credibility. Snopes reveals that both Bonner and Clinton were in Turkey on official detail at the same time and that Bonner is not a Donald Trump supporter:

Bonner clarified that he was not a fan of Donald Trump (describing him as a "bad choice" as well) and didn't believe either candidate had "earned" his vote. Bonner also stated he'd come under harassment from Clinton supporters for sharing his comments.

Although the truth of Eric Bonner's account can only be independently verified by Hillary Clinton herself (or her security detail from the time), an Air Force public affairs piece published on 31 August 2009 does document that Bonner and Suli were on duty in Turkey in 2009.

Likewise, Snopes reports that the records of the Office of the Historian for the United States Department of State verifies Mrs. Clinton's trip to meet with Turkey's foreign minister on 7 March 2009:
