Hillary Clinton traveled out of the woods and into Manhattan on Tuesday, appearing at a Women for Women International forum moderated by CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who asked Clinton if she thinks sexism still exists. Clinton laughed. "Asking Hillary Clinton if sexism exists is like asking Serena Williams if she's heard of this tennis thing," Stephen Colbert said on Tuesday's Late Show. "She's aware of the situation."
The big news, though was Clinton talking about why she lost to Donald Trump. She pointed to interference from WikiLeaks/Russia and FBI Director James Comey, "but Hillary may have accidentally revealed why she really lost," Colbert said, pointing out that Clinton said the election was on Oct. 28. "No, it was on Nov. 8, ma'am," he said. "That explains everything: 'Well, Oct. 29 is here and I'm not president. Well, I guess I can stop campaigning in Michigan and Wisconsin!'" He apologized for his underprepared Clinton impersonation.
