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.”
Yes, when will this noxious, venomous harridan EVER shut up!
Put some ice on it.
She hates the majority of the country. The rats used to at least have the image of protecting the average person.
I think her influence over our culture has been huge what with her life long corruption and running interference for her husband which is the opposite of who she’s claiming to be: a person who REALLY CARES about women and children. I never believed that anyway. She was all about money and power for herself.
To make herself rich she sold out our country...over and over and
infected an already sick DC including some of our once vaunted organizations,
Just think how different our country would be if she had decided to divorce Bill instead of riding his coattails to power.
I hope the EO that Trump signed about losing assets that are the result of criminal activity cuts into the Clinton Foundation and she’ll have to sell what she got by being a traitor.
The irony is that Hillary was not even listed in the WaPo list of 15 most prominent Dems to run in 2020.
Hillary is trying for the title, Victim-in-Chief. There are 50+ reasons she lost. Poor Tang.

I’m almost 60, and I can’t ever recall a single candidate, male or female, who bitched about an election loss more than a year and a half later.
LOL. This is great. She is so bitter and angry that she's telling some poor young intern to research whether the press told a man to shut up. I can just see Hillary, with half a box of chardonnay in her, screeching at her poor 20-something intern to do the research. She's living in a fantasy world where she has a staff and she's the president in exile, leading the resistance, with a dedicated staff of young interns who do her bidding. LOL. This would be a great Comedy Central show if they had the balls and imagination to do it.
Keep talking Killary. Talk nonstop. Talk a mile a minute.
That ‘surprising,’ supposed blue wave for the 2018 elections is already turning purple. Keep talking. We certainly appreciate your support.
Thanks so much for reducing your ridiculous speaking fee down to $25,000. Be sure to let us know which charity will feel your largesse.
She named all the biggest losers on both sides. Reminded me how pathetic all of them were.
Is Hillary aware that the men who lost elections had common sense?
Did she fall or cough?
Not quite...Think "obunghole" and his still drooling mouth...
That’s because they usually don’t whine like a bitch when they do.
Its telling that the comments at the Hill on this article are uniformly negative, even from Liberals. At this point, EVERYONE — Liberal or Conservative — is telling Hillary to shut up.
In ranting and railing against all the perceived slights and bias against her, just never letting go, she’s reinforcing sexist stereotypes of women. Bitter, bitchy, holding a grudge, freaking out about minutiae, not accepting responsibility for anything, and most of all, not taking it like a man and shutting the hell up about it. Jeez, she’s gone past embarrassing and straight into psychotic.
Could someone cue up that song from the 60’s, I believe it was tilted “ They are coming to take me away “ Its so Hillary.
I recall Obama essentially did the same thing. A while I am not certain of the exact words they were close in nature to saying to shut up because they won the election.
#Soreloserb*tch
There, feel better now you whinging slut?
Go away, just fade into the dust bin of sore losers.
shut up, Hillary! Please just slink off into oblivion. They have wine there.
Hillary has always been politically tone deaf but this time she is ignoring what the RATS are saying.
They are saying “You are done...retire before we have to really kick you to the curb”
Same problem Jeb has....”You are DONE”
