Hillary Clinton is once again aiming at the Electoral College, calling it an “abomination” in the new Netflix documentary The American Experiment.
The former Secretary of State makes her remarks while reflecting on her 2016 loss to Donald Trump, reviving her long-standing criticism of the presidential election system, as reported by Breitbart.
The film, directed by Brian Knappenberger, explores how Americans have chosen their presidents since the nation’s founding and features Clinton speaking candidly about her defeat.
Knappenberger said he expected “fireworks” when he asked Clinton to revisit election night in 2016. He explained that she had rarely discussed that period and that the project benefited from her willingness to do so
“She has rarely spoken candidly about that election night, and we’re really happy she talked about it for the series,” Knappenberger said.
“She has a unique perspective as one of only five people in American history to lose the presidency after winning the popular vote.”
Knappenberger also highlighted that the 2016 election stood out because Clinton defeated Trump in the popular vote by a significant margin but fell short in the Electoral College tally.
