Hillary Criticizes Businesses For Not Paying Interns While Her Interns Work For Free

• Truth in Media

In addition to supporting a $15 per hour minimum wage and creating a plan to "make college more affordable," Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has criticized businesses that do not pay interns, while her own campaign makes its interns work for free.

A post from Clinton's Twitter account on Sunday advertised an internship program working for the former Secretary of State's 2016 presidential campaign, complete with "free coffee," "great views" and "the chance to make history." However, one thing was missing: a salary.

While the guidelines set for interns by Clinton's campaign line up with those set by the Clinton Foundation, they stray from the comments made by Clinton regarding the wages earned by both interns and students.
