Hillary Clinton says watching documentary about her life was 'humbling'

Hillary Clinton said she experienced several humbling moments while doing interviews for and watching a new documentary about her life, her surprise loss in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, and the polarizing attitudes she inspired throughout her five-decade career.

The four-part documentary, titled “Hillary,” which debuts on Hulu on March 6, chronicles Clinton’s life, from her upbringing in Chicago to Yale law school, first lady, senator, secretary of state and her failed bid to become the first female U.S. president. It also explores how Clinton’s rise dovetailed with the push for women’s equality.

Clinton took part in 35 hours of interviews with filmmaker Nanette Burstein, who collected behind-the-scenes footage during the 2016 campaign. Both said that no topics were off limits. Clinton, who is now 72, discussed everything from her loss to Donald Trump to her husband’s infidelity that led to his 1998 impeachment. Bill Clinton also was interviewed for the film.

“There were a lot of humbling moments,” Clinton said on Friday at a Television Critics Association event where she previewed the documentary. “One was the recognition that I have been often, in my view, mischaracterized, misperceived, and that I have to bear a lot of the responsibility for that.”

Humbling isn’t the word I was looking for.

Guilt would have come a lot closer.

Bumbling, stumbling, sure...but humble is not a word in her vocabulary.

Humbling is not the first word that comes to mind with this woman.

Yes, she paid big money for a publicity firm to hone in in that one word.

My sources at Hulu tell me that this comment was cut from the final print:

“There were a lot of humbling moments,” Clinton said. “For example, I am humbled that so many people chose to make my life easier by committing suicide.”

Did they cover all the convenient deaths of individuals who might have endangered the Clintons?

Goodness, I guess these narcissists just never tire of seeing themselves. So consumed with themselves, they are the very epitome of everything the Bible speaks against.....self. Nauseating.
