Hillary Clinton, Y'all

Last night, Hillary Clinton made her first public appearance following her concession speech, speaking at the Children's Defense Fund, where she started her career and which has remained important to her for decades. She was introduced by her mentor and the founder of CDF, Marian Wright Edelman, who called her "the people's president."


I have not been able to locate a transcript, but, if and when I find one, I will post the link here. If you happen to spot one, please drop the link in comments.

I had a few thoughts as I watched her speech last night.

Hillary Clinton is speaking right now & I almost can't believe she still wants to work for this country after everything we've done to her.

That's what a patriot looks like. That is a person who wanted to be president for the right reasons.

Watching Hillary speak again, I'm overwhelmed by the thought of what we've lost.

My heart will never fully recover.
