On Wednesday night, Hillary Clinton made her first
appearance since losing the election, at an event held in her honor in
Washington, D.C. by the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF).
While addressing the audience, she spoke directly about her
defeat.
"Coming here wasn’t the easiest for me. There’ve been a few
times this past week where all I’ve wanted to do is to curl up with a good
book, or the dog and never leave the house again."
"I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the
results of the election. I am too, more than I can express. But…I didn’t
get in to public service to hold high office."
"We need you. America
needs you. That’s how we get through this. I know this isn’t easy. I know that over the past week, a
lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country they thought
it was. Listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are
worth it. Never, ever give up."
