‘I was born for that’: Hillary Clinton says she’d handle Covid-19 better, but Trump & Russian media ‘stole’ election from her

She also blamed third party voters who handed Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein historic results for their parties and claimed they were “boosted” by “Russian media.”

“They had third party candidates boosted, particularly by Russian media. And the lies and ridiculous stories made up about me were meant to either keep you at home, or drive you third party if they couldn’t get you to vote for Trump,” she said. 

Trump, she said, holds a presidency that has an “air of illegitimacy,” something she has said many times over the past four years.

She now drives Trump and Republicans “crazy” because “I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from.”

Hillary tells @karaswisher "So there is an air of illegitimacy that surrounds Trump’s presidency, and that just infuriates them….Because I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from." https://t.co/NovSU9xxyo

Though she claimed in the interview that the 2016 election is “front and center in people’s psyches,” many have been mocking her own obsession with the loss and seeming need to delegitimize Trump’s victory.

“I love that she’s going to spend the rest of her days feeling this way and never ever get to be president. Is that petty? Sure,” podcaster Noam Blum tweeted in response.

“Hillary Clinton didn’t have the 2016 election ‘stolen from her.’ She lost it by 80 electoral votes,” radio host JD Sharp wrote.

“Democrats still haven’t accepted the results of the 2016 election,” commentator Tim Pool added.  

Hillary says the election was "stolen" because she really and truly believes that Americans OWED her that power. https://t.co/fERoDPEzUR

In the same podcast interview, Clinton also claimed Trump’s presidency makes her “sick” and that she would have handled the Covid-19 pandemic better because she was “born for that.”

Though she won the popular vote in 2016, Clinton lost the electoral college by 77 votes, with Trump scoring 304 votes over her 227.
