This is Johnson Controls. When the auto industry was going under, car parts companies like them begged taxpayers for a bailout and they got one. But now that Johnson is back on its feet, they are gaming the system and moving profits to Ireland, so they can avoid paying taxes here at home. It's an outrage. If I'm President, when companies walk out on America, they'll pay a price. Hillary Clinton. She'll make America work for us. I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

In this ad from Hillary Clinton's campaign committee that aired in Michigan, Hillary Clinton claims that car parts companies such as Johnson Controls "begged taxpayers for a bailout and they got one." PolitiFact rules the claim to be Half True, since the company did not receive bailout funds directly, though the auto industry as a whole did receive funds.
