Clinton Addresses Email Controversy (and Iran Deal and Trump...)
In just her third televised interview since launching her second presidential bid, Hillary Clinton told MSNBC reporter Andrea Mitchell that she regretted her actions had 'raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to all these questions.'
Asked specifically if she should apologize – 'Are you sorry?' – Clinton said, 'I take responsibility and it wasn’t the best choice,' she said, adding 'I now disagree with the choice that I made.'
When Mitchell suggested that there's a chance her 2016 White House run could evaporate much as her 2008 bid did – in the dust of a candidate whom the Democratic Party's rank and file see as more authentic - Clinton protested. 'I don't feel that, I feel that I have questions to answer, which I intend to do at every turn .. about the whole email issue, and keep saying the same thing.'
The Interview:
The Republican National Committee responded immediately after the interview aired.
'What’s clear is Hillary Clinton regrets that she got caught and is paying a political price, not the fact her secret email server put our national security at risk,' said RNC spokesman Michael Short
'Hillary Clinton's repeated distortions of her growing email scandal, which now involves an FBI investigation, and her refusal to apologize only reinforce why three-fifths of the country doesn't trust her.'
As a result, her public polling numbers have slipped steadily. One recent survey found words like 'liar' and 'dishonest' were the first to leap to mind when Americans are asked to describe her. 'Certainly,' Clinton admitted in the interview, 'it doesn't make me feel good.'
