In a documentary to be broadcast in March, the former candidate criticized the one she had defeated in 2016 in the Democratic primary, saying that he had "done nothing in Congress" and that "nobody likes him".

Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he did nothing, "said the former US secretary of state in the documentary Hillary , which will be broadcast on the Hulu streaming platform in March. Clinton insisted, believing that the "revolution" promised by one who described himself as a "socialist democrat" was "out of the blue". "He's just a politician. I really feel sorry for the people who get caught up in it ”.
