Reporter Yahoo News May 2, 2017 Hillary Clinton: I’m ‘part of the resistance’ Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton identified herself as a member of the widespread resistance movement to President Trump on Tuesday afternoon. “I’m back to now being an activist citizen and part of the resistance,” she said to thunderous applause at the Women for Women International 2017 annual luncheon in New York. During an onstage interview, just before declaring herself part of the resistance, Clinton said she spent decades learning what it would take to help move the people of the United States forward, including those who did not vote for her. She said that she didn’t want to appeal to emotions the same way that Trump did and had hoped to have serious conversations about health care, foreign policy, renewable energy, artificial intelligence and so on during the campaign. Clinton recalled that Trump had actually made fun of her for preparing for their first presidential debate. “I said, ‘Yes, I did prepare for the debate. And here’s another thing I prepared for. I prepared for being president,’” Clinton said. “It’s not exactly headline grabbing. I understand that. But, you know, I can’t be anything other than who I am.” “Oh, I think it would’ve been a really big deal,” Clinton said. “I think that partly here at home there were important messages that could’ve sent to our own daughters, granddaughters, grandsons and sons. But I think especially internationally.” Clinton said she had the great privilege of traveling the world meeting a wide variety of people: from leaders in palaces to the kinds of women living in rural areas whom Women for Women International is trying to help. “There is still so much inequity, so much unfairness, so much disrespect and discrimination toward women and girls,” she said. “So have we made progress? Yes we have. But have we made enough? No we haven’t.” Clinton said that women’s rights are being lost in the same places that are most likely to foster and protect terrorism, places that harbor ideologies hostile to equality between the sexes. “Women’s rights is the unfinished business of the 21st century. There is no more important, larger issue that has to be addressed.” Clinton also said that she takes “absolute personal responsibility” for her election loss, saying that she and her campaign both made mistakes. “I was the candidate. I was the person who was on the ballot. I was very aware of the challenges, the problems, the shortfalls that we have,” Clinton said. “But I will say this. I’ve been in a lot of campaigns, and I’m very proud of the campaign we ran.” In her first major interview since losing the 2016 U.S. presidential election last November, Hillary Clinton takes personal responsibility for her loss. But she told interviewer Christine Amanpour at a women's forum in New York Tuesday that she also blames Russia and FBI Director James Comey for helping her Republican rival Donald Trump score what was seen an upset victory.
