New York (CNN) Hillary Clinton delivered her most forceful critique of President Donald Trump's 2016 victory on Tuesday, taking personal responsibility for her failed campaign but also pointed to the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference as factors.
"If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women International event in New York.
"I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate, I was the person who was on the ballot. I am very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we had," Clinton said, before adding that she was "on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me and got scared off."
Clinton, who is currently writing a book that partly reflects on her 2016 loss, added, "The reason I believe we lost were the intervening events in the last 10 days."
The event marks the latest where Clinton, in a stinging rebuke to Trump, both blames herself for the 2016 loss but also casts the current President as someone aided by outside factors, including the Russian government.
After Clinton noted the 3 million more votes she won than Trump, Amanpour joked that the President would soon tweet about the comment.
"Fine. Better than the interfering in foreign affairs," Clinton said. "If he wants to tweet about me than I am happy to be the diversion because we have lot of things to worry about. He should worry less about the election and my winning the popular vote than doing some other things that would be important for the country."

If your aunt had nuts, she would be your uncle.
Still can’t believe she said she would put the coal miners out of work.
If the Super Bowl ended after the third quarter, the Atlanta Falcons would have won.
“This is eating her up and driving her crazy.”
That was always going to be a short trip...
If the European campaign had ended before D-Day...
She is a drunk mentally disturbed idiot. No one would let her drive in public.
If I invested $15,000 into Apple stock in 1980, I would have millions.
Or called voters "deplorable".
I still can't believe that nobody in her campaign understood 3rd grade arithmetic and bothered to add up the electoral votes of all the Deer Hunter states. She never visited Wisconsin, not once, not even to refuel her plane.
ahh, the lamentations of liberals, such sweet music.,
on the other hand, this is the screeching wailing of hildabeast, so maybe its best if it just shuts the F. up.
seriously, this is classic liberal mindset: no personal responsibility, and victimization. it thinks its everyones fault: the FBI, The Russians, Fox News, hateful women hating republicans, America in general. Nowhere in its tantrum does it say
“I blew it, its my fault, American voters don’t trust me, and I come across as a bitch”. oh well, it can keep putting itself through the meatgrinder for the rest of its life. sucks to be it.
THANK GOD she didn’t win & sellout America to make another $300+ million
psst Donna....what's the next question?
And if she was a dog, she would be able to lick her own butt....
At this point....what difference does it make?
Don't hear much about Merkel and Hillary....it's a woman thing..
If the Watergate break-in hadn’t happened, Nixon wouldn’t have been impeached
But it wasn't, and you aren't, you vile blob of dog vomit.
And if “if and buts were candy and nuts we’d all be happy at Christmas.” So what?
Even reacting to her is a mistake. This is just pure Clinton BS and im glad we don’t have to expend the energy explaining how full of it she is. It’s all deliberate misdirection. For example the Podesta emails are now referred to only as “Russia Wikileaks”. Really creepy.
She just had a meeting with almost President Gore and they both cried in their beer.
