'I meant no disrespect': Hillary admits she 'upset or offended' some Americans with comments she made about Trump supporters and white women voting like their husbands
Hillary Clinton took to Facebook to explain some comments she made in India that had drawn criticism from Democrats and the Trump White House
'I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted,' Clinton said in the post
The ex-nominee said she wasn't trying to attack red states when she talked about how areas that went for Trump weren't as economically advantage
She stood her ground - while noting it was hard to hear - but believed that some women were swayed to vote for a male candidate by their husbands
'It may not be universally true or easy to hear, but yes, its a dynamic still at play in our society,' Clinton said
Hillary Clinton provided an explanation for some recent comments she made that she understood 'upset or offended' some Americans statements that drew criticism from fellow Democrats and the Trump White House alike.
'I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted. I meant no disrespect to any individual or group,' she said in a Facebook post. 'And I want to look to the future as much as anybody.'
Clinton, on a trip to India, had talked about how her voters came from economically advantaged places in comparison to Trump voters, and also noted how white women often voted the same way as their husbands. A number of Democrats were critical of Clinton's remarks because they didn't like how she portrayed red states and female voters.
The Trump White House again called her out of touch.

‘I understand how some of what I said upset people and can be misinterpreted,’ Clinton said in the post, “but they are all scumbags... Can you pour me another drink, lovey. But first I have to go down these stairs to the restroom.”
Yep, just like the “deplorables” epithet, she meant it with all her bottomless spite.

“My husband didn’t convince me to vote for
Trump. Bill Clinton’s wife did.”
One day may you slip and NEVER get up.
The bitch should have assumed room temperature over there in *hithole India.
She is doin’ the Hokey Pokey. Maybe soon she will be doin’ the Hokey Pokey into the Pokey!
I wish she would just go away. Well, I have stronger wishes than that, but I am too much of a civilized person to say what I really wish.
Perhaps the reason she was in India saying those hateful things is that the patience of the American public is wearing thin. In India, they dont actually know her, so they would be a naïve audience for her.
Drunk too.

How does ANYONE still like this woman ?! That’s not an apology !
I'll bet this quote sounds familiar to a lot of Freepers:
Quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958 "
but the fact remained that this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."
My husband was wondering where all these obedient white women are. Poor guy.
Portraying White Men as all-powerful villains requires portraying White Women as hapless dupes with zero agency as contrast.
I don't think she's apologizing for calling us "deplorables". I don't think she's apologizing to men in any way. She's just apologizing to liberal women for being politically incorrect enough to say that some women listen to their husbands.
She wants an apology from everyone who read her statement for their misinterpretation.
