We spoke with HillaryClinton and filmmaker Nanette Burstein about the four-part docuseries 'Hillary,' which streams Friday on Hulu.
and its detrimental impact on your campaign. Five years later, are you frustrated that it continues to follow you around?Well, I think most fair-minded people don't believe that. But I do think there's a more than cottage industry of people who have their own partisan, political, ideological, commercial reasons to continue to try to defame me.
The three most prevalent messages that changed people's minds were: Number one, I was dying. And you know, I had pneumonia, I was sick for a few days, but I'm really healthy – healthier than a lot of people running. Number two, I was somehow responsible for getting weapons to ISIS. And Number three, Pope Francis endorsed Trump. All three of those are totally made up, but if you get your news from Facebook, which more than 50% of Americans do, you see it.
Q: At one point in the docuseries, you say that people should take criticism seriously because you can learn from it, but you should not take it personally. Is there one piece of criticism that you've found most valuable?In general, criticism that somehow I needed to be more forthcoming, more revealing – I never fully understood it, but I respected it because obviously that was the impression being gathered from me. So that was something I thought a lot about.
