Hillary Clinton Blames Women For Losing The 2016 Election: ‘As A Woman, I'm Supposed To Be Perfect'
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton deeply reflected on her loss during the 2016 election, claiming women abandoned her because they "couldn't take a risk."
In the upcoming book "The Fall of Roe: The Rise of a New America," set to release early June, the former first lady claimed she lost female voters largely after an investigation unfolded involving her private emails.
According to her, the controversy that began back in 2009 was partly why she lost the race and the female vote. "The voters who left me were women," Clinton told 'The New York Times.'
Clinton lost against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election and warned that the upcoming election in November may be America's last if Trump won, per The Daily Mail.
"They left me because they just couldn't take a risk on me, because as a woman, I'm supposed to be perfect," Clinton, 76, stated. "They were willing to take a risk on Trump...who had a long list of — let's call them flaws — to illustrate his imperfection, because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander in chief."
She allegedly also blamed major parties for her loss, including the FBI — who, thanks to James Comey, reopened the agency's investigation into her private email just days before the 2016 election.
Per The Mail, other unexpected people she holds responsible include Vladimir Putin, misogynists, white women, the electoral college, and apparently even fathers, husbands, boyfriends, and male employers who urged women "not to vote for the girl."
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton served as the 67th United States secretary of state during Barack Obama's administration from 2009 to 2013. She also served as first lady to Democratic president Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001.
