Even the Clinton News Network has taken to ridiculing Hillary Clinton.
On Tuesday, John King summarized Clinton’s giant new 500-page book, “What Happened,” by saying, “The excepts show it won’t be short on grievances.”
He added “plenty of them” will be directed at Sen. Bernie Sanders, whom she claims created the conditions for Donald Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” campaign.
“”President Obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could. I felt like I was in a straitjacket,” Clinton writes in the new memoir.

But King didn’t have many patience for Clinton’s excuses.
“I get it. It was a bruising primary campaign. She thinks it hurt her,” King said.
White House Correspondent Jeff Zeleny added, “What she doesn’t acknowledge there … is they were her decisions that Bernie Sanders seized upon.
“Her decision to make the paid speech (to Goldman Sachs), her decision to do the private email server,” he pointed out.
“He took advantage of political openings,” King said.
“Bernie didn’t take millions of dollars for paid speeches, Bernie didn’t run the Clinton Foundation, Bernie didn’t set up the private email server,” he added.
In June, King skewered Hillary after she rattled off a number of reasons that she lost to Trump, and none of them included herself.
After Clinton pointed a finger at James Comey, Wikileaks, “1000 Russian agents,” prognosticators who played up an “assumption” she was going to win, and several other culprits on Wednesday for her November loss to Donald Trump, it all proved to be too much even for CNN.
During a round table discussion with DC reporters, King dismissed her excuses by saying, “You don’t understand: The Russians cloaked Wisconsin,” referring to Clinton’s ignoring the battleground state until it was too late.
“So she couldn’t find it on a map to get there and campaign there,” he added.
