Barack Obama's former White House communications director, Jen Psaki, appeared Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," where she pushed back against Hillary Clinton's explanation for her 2016 presidential election loss.
Host Jake Tapper asked Psaki what she thought of Clinton's statement on Tuesday in which she blamed her loss on FBI Director James Comey and Russian hackings.
"I was on the way to winning until the combination of Jim Comey's letter on Oct. 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared offand the evidence for that intervening event is, I think, compelling [and] persuasive," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour at a Women for Women International event in New York.
Psaki pushed back against Clinton's assessment, saying, "We don't really know that."
"Was sexism a factor? Yes. Was Comey a factor? Was Russia a factor? Absolutely," Psaki said.
She then went on to say that she has watched many focus groups and studied several polls over the years regarding Clinton's likability, arguing that "the perception of her was baked into the cake for about ten years."

I don’t know where that picture is.
It was widely displayed on these boards post Trump’s victory. So many here (including me) enjoyed that photo as well as a myriad of others reflecting the despair of Clinton supporters as Trump’s victory settled in.
Thanks,

Yet, she’ll run.

No, that would be SKPOTUS. SKank President of the United States. Might be a Russian term - hmmm.
Against an incumbent president, vying for his second term? Unlikely.
Way to go, John. Excellent work!
