Hillary Clinton recalls ‘very unusual experiences’ while she was still the FLOTUS

Only a handful of people could say what it’s really like being in the White House. One of these is Hillary Clinton, who became the First Lady of the United States when her husband Bill Clinton became the 42nd president of the United States from 1993 to 2001.

Hillary Clinton’s time in the White House is very memorable to her due to the “very unusual experiences” she had in those days. One such experience was when then-president Bill Clinton entrusted his wife with the task of coming up with a universal health care plan 16 years before Obamacare.

“I was threatened when I went around the country talking about it,” Hillary said in an interview with Vanity Fair. She still shudders at the thought of all the hatred she received in those days when an effigy of her was burned during a rally in Kentucky.

“The Secret Service made me wear a bulletproof coat at one event because they had taken guns and knives off of people trying to get into the outdoor event,” Hillary recalled one tense moment. “I thought, ‘Shit, I’m trying to get people health care! It’s not like I’m stealing your firstborn here! What is the matter with you?’”

She even suspected that some of the protesters might be paid. “It was so weird—like, what’s happening here?” she questioned added. “Were they paid? A lot of them were riled up by talk radio…. But yeah, I had a lot of very unusual experiences.”

Looking back at her failed 2016 bid at the presidency, Hillary was at first sure she had the white woman vote. That is, “until Jim Comey dropped that letter on me.”

“I was going to win, I am absolutely convinced of that,” Hillary Clinton said. “What happened is that white women left me, because their husbands or their bosses or whatever said, ‘See? See? She is going to jail!’ It was a very effective assault on me.”

But will Hillary Clinton plan to enter into the race once more? Lately, a report came out saying that Michael Bloomberg might be planning to get Hillary as his running mate.

“Oh no,” the former First Lady shut down the rumors in an interview with El Vocero de Puerto Rico, according to the New York Post. “I’m just waiting and watching as this plays out. I will support whoever the nominee is.”
