Hillary Clinton: ‘I really tried to get out of going’ to Trump’s inauguration
Raw Story ^ | 10/20/17 | Noor Al-Sibai

Posted on 10/20/2017 3:58:13 PM PDT by markomalley

As British talk show host Graham Norton noted, it was “almost Shakespearean” that former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton attended her opponent’s inauguration.

Nodding in agreement with the host, Clinton said she wasn’t too interested in attending herself.

“I really tried to get out of going,” Clinton said in a Friday episode of Norton’s BBC show.

As per tradition, Clinton attended the inauguration with her husband, former President Bill Clinton “to show support [for the] continuity of our government.”

Nevertheless, she and Bill thought up a potential out.

“We thought, ‘Okay, maybe others aren’t going,'” she told the host. “So we called the Bushes and the elder Bushes were in the hospital, which I think was legitimate.”

But once they found out the Bushes and the Carters were attending, she knew the ruse was up.

“Bill and I looked at each other and said, ‘Well, we gotta go,'” Clinton said.

Watch her discuss attending her former rival’s inauguration below, via BBC.

No one held a gun to her head.

Which is a real shame.

Well, to be fair if you ran a campaign for anything, school president and then had to go to the winner’s party, it would be tough.

These people have been to so many lovely balls and parties, this one is a major one but I suppose they get a bit used to this high life.

Man, I’d love to go all decked out in some gorgeous outfit, eating the most wonderful food, the lights, the drinks, the guests.

What a blast.

But to go as the most obvious of all people, the one who lost...

kinda be a damper.

“I really tried to get out of going,”

But then she heard there would be an open bar.

“So we called the Bushes....”

!!!!!

This is proof the Bush’s are buds with the Clinton’s.
Especially after the speech Bush gave.

Bill wouldn’t have gotten to ogle Melania up close if the Clintons had stayed home wiping the server....

"Hillary Clinton: ‘I really tried to get out of going’ to Trump’s inauguration"

There's no law or regulation that required Traitorhellary to attend Trump's inauguration.

If Traitorhellary and her spouse didn't want it noticed that they were missing from the VIP gallery, buckets of raw sewage could have been placed on their chairs and no one would suspect they were missing.
