To Clarify, Hillary Clinton Is Not Sorry for Using a Private Email Account

New York Magazine

In an interview just before the holiday weekend, Hillary Clinton chatted with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about her decision to use a private email server at the State Department. "At the end of the day, I am sorry that this has been confusing to people and has raised a lot of questions, but there are answers to all these questions," she said. "And I take responsibility and it wasn’t the best choice."

Some might have interpreted this as an Emailgate apology, particularly because some supporters argue that she'll never move past the issue if she doesn't say she's sorry. But on Monday Clinton clarified that while she may be sorry that a scandal developed, she will not be apologizing for using a private server. She told the Associated Press that while it would have been a "better choice" to have separate accounts, she does not intend to directly apologize because, "What I did was allowed. It was allowed by the State Department. The State Department has confirmed that." "I did not send or receive any information marked classified," Clinton added. "I take the responsibilities of handling classified materials very seriously and did so."

4. She apologized.

What are you, a mind-reader?

The ellipses are getting pretty stale, btw.

On edit:

The system works.

5. Sexism is alive and well in America,

so she was forced to apologize. We have candidates mocking Asians on live TV and they get a complete pass. Imagine if Hillary mocked Asians on live TV. Would she get a pass?

6. She wasn't forced to do anything.

She got shitty advice, no doubt from the same people who who gave her equally shitty advice not a day earlier.

That she took said shitty advice, thereby looking like little more than a reprogrammed, self-contradicting robot in the bargain, should tell you all you need to know.

She fucked up huge on this. Will I vote for her in the GE if she manages to stumble her way through the primaries? You bet, but I won't be happy about it.

This is what comes of a coronation mentality.
