Stop talking: Hillary returns to a very familiar category of the election loss blame game

Hillary Clinton has blamed just about everything for her electoral defeat last year, and she is returning to something she has attributed her loss to on many occasions. In an interview that aired on CNN Sunday, Clinton placed the brunt of her blame once again on now fired FBI director James Comey.

“I would have won but for Jim Comey’s letter on Oct. 28,” Clinton told CNN.

“I think every day that goes by, the evidence of that becomes clearer.”

We are almost one year removed from that letter being released, and she still cannot get over it.

Clinton on CNN again blames Comey for her loss, like an athlete who plays poorly and blames a referee's call. Control what you can control.

Anyone consider that if Hillary hadn't made the poor decision 2 use a private home brew basement server in the 1st place – no investigation? https://t.co/lr4LqrJPo8

Ummmm…ok. Maybe she should have also actually campaigned in every purple state & played "You can't always get what you want" at rallies ? https://t.co/vJnsWrtqNr

During the interview, she went on to point specifically to women being impacted by the Comey letter and deciding not to vote for her.

She added: “And I don’t blame any woman who hears that, ‘Oh the FBI’s opening another investigation into Hillary Clinton’ for saying ‘Well, I’m not wasting my vote’ or ‘I can’t vote for her’ or ‘I’m just not going to vote now.’ “

I’m a woman, I’ll say it. STFU ALREADY! https://t.co/1c7yCHqQ8p

Hillary damaged herself by her own actions. The Comey letter would have never even been thought of if not for the private email server. Plus, the letter did not prevent her from making additional visits to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Plus, nobody liked her.
