The comment from a former rival, which came during a lengthy interview in a documentary released this year about Clinton’s life, hits Trump on a topic that has depressed his reelection hopes and frustrated his administration.
Clinton said it was “frustrating to be on the sidelines in a pandemic,” adding that while she is trying to do her part by talking and raising money, she feels she could do more.
The coronavirus pandemic has dominated the last four months of American life, including modifying all aspects of the presidential campaign. The Trump campaign has struggled to keep going in the face of the pandemic and the economic downturn it caused. More than 2.7 million cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in the United States, most of the world, and more than 128,000 Americans have died.
The former 2016 secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate made no secret of her disdain for Trump throughout the interview, calling him “vengeful” and suggested that the country is seeing well what it means to have a president who is not. job.
“Part of what he does in the way he lashes out is because, deep down, he knows the Russians helped him, despite his incredible efforts to deny it. He knows WikiLeaks helped him. He understands all of that,” Clinton said. “She is a vengeful puncher, and she never wants the legitimacy of her choice to be questioned, although history will continue to question it.”
Clinton was asked several questions about her life in the interview, where she said she finds it “impossible to answer” what her life would have been like had she not married former President Bill Clinton and described her encounters with Trump before the 2016 Election. like “not many and not a great time, certainly not for me”.
But Clinton’s most salient comments came in response to questions about the turmoil the country faces, both from the ongoing pandemic, the country’s calculation of racism and police brutality, and the way voters and major companies are approaching the 2020 campaign.
He added: “They have to be held accountable because we are going to have another election, and everyone must know what is at stake and then cast their vote accordingly.”
Clinton said she would not run for office again – “Not in the cards” – but did not dodge a question about whether she believes she would beat Trump if she faced him in 2020.
“Yes,” he said bluntly. “But I think people think this is a referendum on him.”
