Hillary Clinton took subtle jabs at President Trump during her Class Day speech at Yale, which she began by pulling out a Russian hat in an apparent reference to the ongoing investigation into Russian election meddling.
The former secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee noted the over-the-top hats students traditionally wear during Yale's Class Day and said she "brought a hat too."
"A Russian hat," Clinton said on Sunday while showing the laughing crowd an Ushanka hat.
"If you can't beat them, join them," she added.
Clinton, who graduated from Yale Law School in 1973, also poked fun at her unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign by referencing Michigan, a state she lost by just over 10,000 votes.
"I am thrilled for all of you, even the three of you who live in Michigan and didn't request your absentee ballots in time," Clinton joked.
Later, speaking about her loss to Trump, she said: "No, I'm not over it. I still think about the 2016 election. I still regret the mistakes I made. I still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird and wild election in American history will help us defend our democracy in the future."
