Clinton: ‘All I Wanted to Do Was Just to Curl up’ This Past Week

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that in the week since her stunning loss in the presidential election, there have been times when she’s wanted to hole up at home and “never leave the house again.”

But she urged her supporters to stay engaged and fight for the values that propelled her campaign.

“I will admit, coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me,” she said to the audience at a gala for the Children’s Defense Fund. “There have been a few times this past week where all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.”

But Clinton struck a positive note, saying that her presidential campaign was about the “country we love.”

“And about building an America that is hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted,” she said during the ceremony, where she was being honored for her child advocacy work. (Read more from “Clinton: ‘All I Wanted to Do Was Just to Curl up’ This Past Week” HERE)
