Hillary Clinton is striking back at critics telling her to “shut up” following her 2016 loss, saying, “They never said that to any man who was not elected.”
“I was really struck by how people said that to me — you know, mostly people in the press, for whatever reason — mostly, ‘Go away, go away,’” Clinton said Thursday during an event at Rutgers University.
“And I had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. They never said that to any man who was not elected. I was kind of struck by that,” Clinton said.
Clinton’s remarks came in response to a question from Eagleton Institute of Politics’ director Ruth Mandel about the former Democratic presidential nominee’s reaction to those who say she should “get off the public stage and shut up.”
“I’m really glad that, you know, Al Gore didn’t stop talking about climate change,” Clinton said to applause.
“And I’m really glad John Kerry went to the Senate and became an excellent secretary of State,” the former first lady continued. “And I’m really glad John McCain kept speaking out and standing up and saying what he had to say. And for heavens sakes, Mitt Romney is running for the Senate,” Clinton said.
The 70-year-old ex-secretary of State has taken heat in recent weeks, even among some Democrats, for comments she made about Americans who voted for President Trump in the 2016 race.
"I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward,” Clinton said earlier this month during a conference in India. “And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.”
“I think it was a moment in time because what had been expected to happen in the election, which obviously did not,” Clinton said Thursday. “And then a lot of angst and second guessing and finger pointing and everything that went on.”
Bullschlitz. Freepers have been telling McCain and Romney to STFU for 10 years.
Well, she is not going to prison anytime soon. She is either going to have a really bad drunken fall or a brain aneurism, a massive debilitating stroke, or just drop dead bleeding from every orifice from massive hemorrhaging due to alcohol.
Other than having histrionic personality disorder and possibly Parkinson’s, she IS an alcoholic. So we’ve got that going for us.
Yep, but it’s not about why they lost their elections, it’s their liberalism.
YES. I would approve of any or all of the above.
I wonder how much a case of her favorite vodka is? I just want to do my part.
She could well have been the candidate the Globalists planned to have introduce FEMA camps and destroy the Republic
That, or she's just pissed (in perpetuity, now) because she's permanently trapped in Bill's shadow. That's one heck of a fate for the queen of the feminazis.
Keep talking loser .... and talking, ignore those who would have you shut up, shout from the roof tops ..... let everyone know who you are and why the Democratic party stands behind you and no one else.
So she’s saying she wasn’t elected? Has she ever mentioned that before?
Can anyone name a male loser that didn’t even have the dignity to concede and thank his supporters?
I have a good tile for “her” next book.
“A Thousand and One Reasons Donald Trump is President”.
SHUT THE HELL UP, LOSER!!!
That felt good :)
Sure they have, BO. Nobody else, save Carter, ever needed to be told to shut up. They knew they lost and had some normal decency. Most demoncrats haven’t a clue as to what decency even is, anymore.
Oh, she’s so wrong. Two words: John Kerry. Remember him? People on both sides of the aisle have been begging him to shut up for years. He was in Vietnam, you know...
Except for Sore-Loserman, nobody ever had to tell a man to quit whining. Because most men took it like men.
Hillary’s continued inappropriate behavior all but guarantees other women won’t be seriously considered for political office.
Because Hillary is by far America’s most prominent female politician, setting the example.
Oh.
So now she admits she lost.
Progress.
She doesn’t think Algore is a man. Makes sense.
To quote Emperor Palpatine, “Good,...good. Let the hate flow through you.”
No man who has lost a presidential campaign has not as much whining and blaming of everyone but themselves as had Hillary. THAT is the difference. No one had to tell them to get off the stage because they were not behaving as Hillary has. Now she missing the point of facts and makes her sex the excuse for how she’s being received - as a whiner because she wasn’t a winner.
She’s running. Her health should hold her back, but that won’t stop her will. She’ll be running on a shoe-string compared to her last two efforts, but she likes the attention, having a title (even if it’s a perfunctory and powerless one like ‘candidate’), and kvetching into a microphone.
