Former President Bill Clinton blames “angry, white men,” Russian hacking, and FBI Director James Comey for his wife losing the election.
The Dec. 16 print edition of The Record-Review, obtained by Politico, includes an editorial about Bill Clinton fielding questions from people at a bookstore in light of Hillary Clinton’s loss.
Asked about whether he was surprised by reports that claim Russia played a role in “hacking” the election on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump, Clinton responded, “You would need to have a single-digit IQ not to recognize what was going on.”
Clinton then pivoted from blaming Russian hackers for Clinton’s loss to pinpointing Comey as the specific cause. “James Comey cost her the election,” Clinton bluntly stated.
Clinton also cited “angry, white men” as another reason why Clinton lost.
In response to the question, “Is Trump smart?” Clinton replied, “He doesn’t know much. One thing he does know is how to get angry, white men to vote for him.”
During her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton vilified white men. She called Trump supporters “deplorables” and accused white people of having “implicit bias” against minorities and women.
