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 the truth hadn’t come out, I would be your president”
Ugh.
Can we get a restraining order to keep this harridan out of the news?
I'm sure SOMEone thinks they know what she's talking about
But you’re not president, b*tch. And thank God. Nobody believes the Russian bullshit*t. No doubt Pooty-poot would have preferred you. Or maybe they’ve found Jesus over there.
I think she belongs in a mental hospital, if this is what she thinks.
I suppose it’s too much to hope she would run again in 2020, right?
Wrong. Every poll was produced to sell the lie that she was ahead. She was never ahead.
On a completely unrelated note, I miss the days when I could make that reference and people would actually get it without further explanation.
If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs. If we had eggs.
If I had a million dollars, I’d be a millionaire.
I’m pretty sure that the boozy ‘DEPLORABLES’ comment was a long time before October 27th.
Well, doggie! Guess we’re gonna have to change Election Day to first October 27th, formally legalize voter fraud and registration of ‘undocumented’ citizen - who, because of their unfortunate circumstances should be allowed to vote multiple times - and let the popular vote determine who wins from now on.
Stupid founding fathers!
Proving that timing is almost everything. If everything had come out in June and nothing else after...God help us!
She knows it isn’t true; she is just posturing for posterity. The fact that she was begging for ghetto votes the day before the election indicated the real reason she lost: Too many black and brown people (who could have elected her) wouldn’t vote for her. They could have given her Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin...and they didn’t.
