British TV journalist Matt Frei asked Hillary Clinton if she’s still blaming other more than herself in an interview Friday.
Frei asked about her appeal to the voter during the 2016 presidential election, saying that her status as a Clinton prevented her gender from helping her.
"Your dynastic appeal or perhaps it was the opposite: The fact that you were called Clinton the fact that you were first lady basically trumped any novelty—if you forgive the term—of being the first female president of the United States," he said. "People looked at your name and your legacy more than they looked at your gender."
Clinton answered by laying out the amount of support she received and then blaming former FBI director James Comey and the Russians for her defeat.
"That doesn’t explain why I led all the way through, why I won the primary by 4 million votes, why I was winning, we had a great convention," she said. "I was thought to have won all three debates. That doesn't explain it, Matt, so that's why I had to really dig deep."
"And, yes, I take responsibility. Obviously, there were things I must have been able to do differently in order to have won," Clinton continued. "But at the end, there was this really perfect storm, and so you had the Comey letter and you had the enormous impact of the Russian theft of emails, the release of them by WikiLeaks, basically now a part of the Russian intelligence apparatus, and the weaponization of that. These were all new phenomena."
"So you're still blaming others more than yourself?" Frei asked
"No, I take ultimate responsibility, I don't blame others, but I think it's important that people understand what happened," Clinton said. "It easy to say, ‘You know she wasn’t a good candidate.’ Then why did lead all the way to the end, why did I get nominated overwhelmingly?"
"Did people lie at the polls?" Frei interjected.
"No, I think there were intervening events that caused people to worry, to have second thoughts," she said.
Asking the questions Americans won’t ask.
Keep yappin kiddo.
From what I see Libs are getting irritated. You go girl.
Well, seeing as she asked, she got nominated overwhelmingly because her buddy Wasserman Schultz and she rigged the primaries.
Great work..!
Sorry, but the poltroons need to simply KEEP seeing it.
Simple but it works.
She's never taken responsibility.
"It easy to say, ‘You know she wasn’t a good candidate.’
She wasn't.
Then why did lead all the way to the end
She didn't. If she had she'd won.
why did I get nominated overwhelmingly?"
The dim nomination process was rigged in her favor.
I’m surprised the b*tch didn’t backhand the reporter and start screaming.
IMHO her handlers dose her with Valium or Lorazapem before these interviews, she can’t control her constant rage otherwise.
She’s full blown delusional, and at this point her lackeys can’t cover it all up.
Mrs. Clinton is still in posturing. Even Hillary can’t be that stupid, can she? She describes a vast right-wing conspiracy that includes Russia, the FBI director, and dozens of other factors, while claiming, “I take ultimate responsibility, I don’t blame others,” and lying when she says that.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
She’s nuts, Jim.
Took a Brit journalist to finally ask the question Felonia should have been getting at every stop on her Excuse Tour
Why did you get nominated overwhelmingly?
Because your money collection and laundering operation gave you a war chest and your usual blackmail threats that scared off rivals?
Because a term limited president who tried to keep you out of his hair spied on the opposition for you?
Because the DNC rigged the game?
Because the FBI turned a blind eye?
Oh cry me a river!
It's been like this since John Adams campaigned against Thomas Jefferson.
If you wanna play with the boys, take your beating like a man.
Every election has a winner, and every election has a loser. You, loser, are nothing special...
“”And, yes, I take responsibility. Obviously, there were things I must have been able to do differently in order to have won,” Clinton continued. “But at the end, there was this really perfect storm, and so you had the Comey letter and you had the enormous impact of the Russian theft of emails, the release of them by WikiLeaks, basically now a part of the Russian intelligence apparatus, and the weaponization of that. These were all new phenomena.”
“And, yes,” she took “responsibility”, and then blamed Comey, Russia and Wikileaks.
Again.
REAL!
Yep! ... and the only reason she was even a candidate in the first place was because of the good press given to her by the MSM. Had she been given the Trump treatment she would have never gotten off the ground.
She will NEVER admit that people just didnt like her..she is a fraud, a murderer, a disgusting scum bag, people saw through her..heck I bet her own husband voted for Trump
We know why you won the primary by 4 million votes, PIAPS.
You cheated.
