CNN host John King was joined by a panel on Thursday where they mocked two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for not letting go of her 2016 loss against President Donald Trump.
Clinton on Wednesday participated in a question and answer session at Recode's Code Conference where she blamed her loss on several external factors, including the Democratic National Committee, Russia, Facebook and misogyny.
King began the segment by playing a series of clips from the conference where Clinton was passing off the blame of her loss. The panel then chimed in on her responses.
"There was an interesting turn from her yesterday because we have heard the rationale about Comey and we heard Russia," Julie Pace of the Associated Press said. "This was the first we've really heard from her blaming the party."
Pace said that Clinton wasn't wrong in that former President Barack Obama had his own data operation close to his political operation, hurting the DNC. Then Pace highlighted the pushback Clinton was receiving for claiming that she "inherited nothing" from the DNC in 2016.
The Daily Beast's Jackie Kucinich also chimed in and mocked Clinton for trying to "have it both ways" on the accountability front for the 2016 loss.
"And there's the trying to have it both ways saying 'I was flawed. It was my fault, but it was also all these other entities' fault,' and it kind of dilutes any sort of 'the buck stops here' statement that she has," Kucinich said.
"Frankly, it seems like she's burning bridges within her own party at this point," Kucinich added.
The Washington Post's Karoun Demirjian was also critical of Clinton, saying her tone did not help her and that she should have not thrown the DNC under the bus, but taken accountability before addressing some of the problems at the DNC.
King then mocked Clinton for taking Wisconsin for granted during the campaign and not doing rallies there.
"You don't understand," King joked. "The Russians cloaked Wisconsin, so she couldn't find it on a map to get there and campaign there."
"I think if you're a Democrat, I think a lot of them would prefer to have her fade away a little bit," the Wall Street Journal's Naftali Bendavid said. "I mean a lot of them would say the reason they lost the last election despite a very vulnerable Republican candidate is that people turned on Hillary Clinton."
