On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer reacted to former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s statements on why she lost the 2016 election by saying that Clinton can’t discuss the election “in a way that makes anything other than sympathy for her. I mean, she has made herself pathetic.”
Krauthammer said, “I don’t think she’s capable of discussing anything about the election in a way that makes anything other than sympathy for her. I mean, she has made herself pathetic. You know, it was said of the Bourbons they never learned anything, they never forgot anything. She was saying the same stuff about the vast right-wing conspiracy, which is essentially what she’s talking about here, naming all the elements, including, as a kind of novelty, the Russians this time. This is the vast right-wing conspiracy she spoke about at the beginning of the Lewinsky scandal. … She has never changed, and she seems incapable of understanding that she lost a humiliating election that was almost unlosable. And that was because she never knew why she was running.”
