Tragically, Trump is likely the karma of the U.S. and the world right now which also likely means drastic population reduction worldwide during his term. Will this be usefully defined during his presidency anywhere? Likely not by this government all the deaths will be covered up. Look at them erasing climate change data from the EPA. They know people will die from this and don't care. It's only about Republicans making money worldwide at this point. Their point of view is: "If you are poor worldwide you are going to die soon. But, we will make a fortune on your graves." This is reality folks.
Clinton: I win if election were in October
Clinton: 'If the election had been on October 27, I would be your president'
Clinton blames Comey, Russia for election loss 02:03
Story highlights
- Clinton has two events in New York Tuesday
- One is a Planned Parenthood dinner
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."
Clinton,
aides and friends say, has grown more at peace with her loss in recent
months, but is still focused on the interference by the Russian
government, especially the fact that WikiLeaks began releasing John
Podesta's hacked emails hours after the damaging "Access Hollywood"
Trump tape was released.
Clinton, as she has done in the past, also hung part of her 2016 loss on misogyny.
"Yes, I do think it played a role. I think other things did as well," Clinton said.
But
repeatedly, Clinton came back to Russian President Vladimir Putin's
role in the 2016 election and how he was able to tilt the scale in favor
of Trump and against her.
Clinton,
aides say, sees her role during the Trump years as a political activist
who speaks out when issue she cares about are threatened. And on
Tuesday, it was clear Clinton was ready to settle into that role.
"I
am now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance,"
Clinton said, drawing cheers from the crowd that included former aides,
donors and celebrities like actress Meryl Streep.
The
former secretary of state also pledged to "publicly request" that the
Trump administration "not end our efforts making women's rights and
opportunities" central to US policy.
Clinton
praised Defense Secretary James Mattis for making the case for
maintaining US foreign aid funding, despite a budget request by Trump
that would cut it.
"I am hoping that because of voices like Jim Mattis and others that that will begin to influence the administration," she said.
And
on North Korea, Clinton cautioned Trump against giving too much away by
saying he would meet with North Korean leader Kim Jung Un under the
right circumstances.
"I don't
believe that we alone are able to really put the pressure on this North
Korean regime that needs to be placed," she said. "Now the North Koreans
are always interested ... in trying to get Americans to try to come to
negotiate to elevate their status and their position and we should be
very careful about giving that way."
Clinton said such negotiations could make it harder to work out a solution with countries in the region.
The
2016 Democratic presidential nominee will also speak at a Planned
Parenthood 100-year anniversary gala later Tuesday, where she is
expected to slam Trump's handling of women health issues during his
first months in office, including attempts to defund the women's health
organization.
Planned Parenthood
has been vocal in their opposition to Trump, slamming many of his
appointees and the Republican plan to defund the organization.
