Straight away, Jedediah Bila said her reaction to Clinton’s buck-passing was “the least impressed” she’d been with her in some time.
“Every time I see her do an interview, I’m waiting for a moment where she just doesn’t blame anyone but herself and acknowledges why they lost,” Bila said. “The reason why she lost was that her foreign policy at the State Department was a disaster.

“Don’t bring up the lies,” interjected Whoopi Goldberg. “Please don’t bring up lying.”
“About the server?” Bila shot back.
