Washington: Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who lost the 2016 presidential race has a disdain for Americans who voted for the eventual winner, Donald Trump, the White House has said.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Thursday slammed the then Democratic presidential nominee for her remarks at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai over the weekend in which she blamed the "backward parts of the US" for her loss in the election. "I think that's a perfect example of why Hillary Clinton is not in the White House," Sanders told reporters at her daily news conference. "She is completely disconnected from the American public, and certainly, I think, shows her disdain for the millions and millions of Americans who came out and voted, and supported President Trump, and still support him today," Sanders said. Speaking at the recently-concluded 'India Today Conclave' in Mumbai, Clinton suggested that those people who supported Trump did so because they didn't like black people getting rights, women getting jobs or Indian-Americans succeeding more than them. "You know, you didn't like black people getting rights. You don't like women, you know, getting jobs. You don't want to see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are. Whatever your problem is, I'm going to solve it," Clinton said during the India On Friday Conclave 2018.
