Andrea Mitchell Hits Clinton for Election Excuses: What About ‘Failing to Have a Better Message?’

BY:

NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell tore into former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, citing Clinton's failures during the 2016 campaign.

Mitchell's report on "NBC Nightly News" opened by explaining that Clinton blamed people other than herself for her 2016 loss during an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.

Clinton said she was well on her way to victory over Donald Trump before FBI Director James Comey's 11th-hour letter to Congress regarding the investigation into her private email server.

"What about her responsibility for failing to have a better message?" Mitchell asked after showing Clinton blaming Comey and other external factors.

"She says it was not a perfect campaign, but no mention of her failure to go to Wisconsin, to campaign earlier in Michigan, connect with rust belt voters in Pennsylvania—all blue states that went for Donald Trump—or why the first female nominee could not win a majority of white college-educated women," Mitchell added.
